I have moved the car to Peterborough where Martin at Cluttons Automotive is going to do the build for me. (He's a very nice guy and recommend him to all for VW builds and servicing etc.)
I think Peterborough is the best place for ...

This is the best I can afford to do.
I love the guys at Westgate Classics in Alderidge, I think they did a really good job and I recommend them to anyone :)
Ricky Turner has kindly offered to fit the Webasto and then Andy and I can see about the interior when everything is totally water tight ...
