Most of the posts on this build have been doom and gloom, but that’s life. It can only get better (maybe). So something a little bit more cheery. What do you think the little tassels are for?

Lots of pictures please, going to be a big job I expect.

Again, that should have been done first. I'm still doing that with the Betty Build. Though, I am being hampered by having to do structural repairs. Now that you have made it harder, please be specific and help us as much as possible with what you want to achieve and what you have already to...

Your to early asking how to do something. Make a plan of what you think you want. Also how do you want to use your vehicle? Then if you don't know, ask how you can achieve it. Somethings will be easy, and others not. If it's too much trouble/expensive you might change your mind. Never start...

Another big leap, all the welding now done behind the front RH wheel. I still find it hard to believe that if you cut away the rot and structure, it will pass a PSV test! So much easier with the axel removed. Back to titivating, Anita moulded some GRP cups to bond over the backs of the front...

FB isn’t real, just for entertainment.

I'd have thought by now all indicators would be self cancelling, they did on my 70's yam.

The cameras I have fitted so far are more to deter other drivers. Crash for cash and the like. Like Squiffy said they don’t even have to work! As I’m doing away with the opening rear door, I thought the space used by the door handle would be good for a reversing camera. Now as for perving on...

As per title, how many of you have installed it or are planning on doing so? If so how far are you going? GPS, 3/4G? Bad experiences, what to avoid.

I've had no leaks with copper pipes, but plenty with plastic. I was nervous about the copper to start with.

Too big for my plans, I want to be sub 7 metres. The insulated body makes it dead simple to convert. It's just a small bed sit. I'll build from scratch, to avoid compromising.

This weekend’s violations, sorry I was so upset dealing with yet more rot I forgot about photographing it. I knew there would be issues around the emergency exit, so I guess I ignored it for as long as possible. Cut out and repaired in a day, so not to bad. A new step trim still needs to be...

Betty has some consumer power again, just as well in today’s heat. I’m so glad this was built externally, just finding the correct wires in the umbilical leading to it was horrible. Just what you want with electrics is to wash it in sweat. But what is going on? Engine start batteries being used...

I have a few along those lines David. All fantasy at the moment. Though I do have some ideas about the body construction.

I know a ready made body makes it easy, but until I'm put off I'm planning on making a new body. Being able to build below the chassis should free up some space. I'd like to find a short wheelbase and keep it under 7 metres long. Best start saving some pennies as I think a new chassis cab is...

I must admit I am tempted to do a daft for the next build, I’m starting to worry that the lack of euro 6 or 7 will be a problem.

Just remember David, this is a very small pond. The bulk of people who look at it can’t type. Or we’re just a sad lonely bunch.

Tough audience David :(

I still think your best bet is to market them from your stand at shows. A bit of thought and your display could be electrifying. ;)

With my figure now I no longer get paid for stripping, more likely to be arrested!
