So finally I have it back!
I managed to finally get a day off, up a the crack of dawn, buzzed into town to hire the trailer (lucky to get one with Goodwood Festival of Speed just down the road and virtually no trailers available within 50miles). Off up the motorway again and got to VWorks just before Sam rolled in. The Bug was looking great in the sun, and the RIGHT shade of L16M Tunis Yellow this time. No trauma getting it home, but getting it off the trailer and into the drive on my own was a bit of a mission. With the glorious weather this weekend I managed to get some time to fit up the doors properly and start fitting up a few trim pieces. Interior looks just as good as the outside :-) Can't really do much on the chassis at the moment or even bolt the shell down properly yet - weld-in mounts for the Race seat should be here this week, plus a small repair on the battery tray area, before I can get the pan blasted and painted and really charge into it. Looking forward to it :-)
