The curtain drops

Just before everything was loaded and the trailer closed, I took some pics of the new details we fabricated for the Volksworld Show.

The panels in all their glory! We had to ditch the Empi panels as they were neither fitting exactely nor did they fulfill our expectations quality-wise.

Little handmade frames under the door openers to compensate the height difference.

A picture of the rear fenders in their final version. The tail lights sit straight and there is more space between wing and wheel next to the running board.

Off we go to the Volksworld Show


What a day! We got the new rear wings from the painter at the last moment. At the same time the car finisher took care of the Scorcher, to give it a last good polish. Besides that a packing list has to be made, we have to think of everything.


Doing the hoovering, the polishing, the wrenching. Don't forget anything, don't scratch anything...

Markus is taking care of the billboard, mounting brackets and chains.

The others try to build up the huge banner - our box replacement - for the first time. "Ok, let's see, we have to put A into B and then..."

Done! Jörg and Herbert proudly present the banner, while Walter is still working on it.

Now we have to load everything. That is going to be a long night for sure. Tomorrow at noon time we will leave for Calais.
