Some of the VW's being worked on during March / April 2004. All three have had extensive restoration work carried out along with general maintenance over the last five to ten years.

Another project from 2004. The owner of this Beetle had Bughaus attend to the bodywork before he took it away on a trailer so he could do all the mechanical work and fitting up himself.

Back in 2000 we carried out body restoration on this '68 Type 3 Squareback for Thor Anson. He later sold it on to his brother, Bede, who drives it when on leave from the R.A.F.

This is Rob's '72 camper, bought as a £600.00 "basket case" it needed all the usual panels. Now spends most of it's time on the M5 and A30 en route from the Midlands to Cornwall.

Not many people have owned and run the same Type 2 for the past 19 years but then not many would use a "bar code" as the starting point for a paint job. Martin's van is a real workhorse and has been around Nottingham almost as long as Bughaus. We have only fairly recently done work on the van but during Summer 2007 carried out the structural job as seen in these photos.

This '67 Beetle owned by Lee Norton had extensive restoration work including replacement of the whole roof section. It is seen here in the very last stages of painting then on collection day ready for Lee to refit at home.

Owned by Lisa Grzeskowiak this '73 Westfalia had a particularly bad area of rot at the O/S rear roof. As five panels come together at this point repair work is rather involved. The photo sequence shows how this type of work is carried out.
