Thanks Pedro, I'm OK now. It's bound to happen - nails and cars are not a good combination at times (very handy for some things though - like masking fine edges, cleaning in tight areas etc). I'd rather have the car progressing and, especially, driveable than a nice set of (real) nails anyday!  A strengthened glovebox insert and lid are back in/on now, stereo's been mounted in there and a small amount of wiring is all that's required before we'll have music for the trip! Kathi |

careful dean, you dont know who you messing with here. kathi has some remarkable powers and a desire to adorn her vehicles with sections of deceased fauna  Deano, you were right. I don't know how Kathi organised it to poor down rain whilst I was under the car doing up the uni joint, thought I was going to stay dry till the wall of water came across the concrete, then all I could think was "the nails, the nails, I taunted the nails" Oh well, you live & learn . Dean. |

They made the extractors themselves - nice to be able to do stuff like that!

Paul's on the money - John built them. Well, not much more we can do now, some things we're super happy with while others leave a little to be desired but they will stay just as they are for the short term (paint and body= long term). Trim is yet to be fully completed (I hear they've upped the security at the Zoo) - we've got temporary boards and carpet in the cargo area that'll be replaced when a full headlining goes in at a later stage. But overall, the interior is comfy, serviceable and just a little bit different - exactly what we were after.  On the whole........ John and I are very happy to have the little van back on the road (warts and all) and are looking forward to enjoying it as much as we can. Kathi |

thanks guys - it's great to have it on the road again in an (almost all) new and improved form. And Jack, about that little black thing - it's definitely not forgotten! |

Very tastefull Kathi, much better than the zebra, poor old Nosferatu does look a bit forlorn in the background though.

Kathi,
I can see that John has had a big clean up in his garage, all ready for that next project?
