Pictures? - We Have Pictures

I'm presuming you're demanding pictures of the camper.  Here's a suitable before one.  Looking at it , it's rubbish and you may well be thinking why all this effort to drop it fractionally.

Yeah like you really were thinking that - weren't you?

Campers get made out of all sorts of vehicle, the only campers that were made by VW as campers are the Westfalia ones.

Ours was originally a minibus, I think they were 9 seaters so with just us 2 it's well under payload limits.   Even when we go away for a 2 week camp with everything it doesn't really settle down on the springs much.

So now I'll tell you what it looked like 'coz I don't think a photo will do it.  or maybe...

That's what it took - interestingly not a picture of a camper at all.  This is how I saw it before.  A scared kitten standing up on it's toes.

This picture formatting is rubbish but I will not be drawn to sort it out. That's it and that's how it's staying.  But I'm offended by it.

• More pictures of after the drop as soon as I can get it to somewhere level and remember a camera.  ie bleeding months from now.  Currently it's on an up slope and the camber of the road is effecting the suspension a suprising amount,  see "Camper Creep" below.  
• The NS was easy to get apart but lots of effort to put back together because springs and bushes needed forcing in.  
• The OS  pushed itself together.
  

So you'll have to wait months the see another picture which also won't convey what I see. Have a quick look in my head and this is what you see

That's enough looking in there - stop it now!

Oh dear too long.

Nurse - the restraints please.

Largacti1...five milligrammes.Valium...ten milligrammes.Haloperidol...five milligrammes.Pheno Barbit...

I'm losing control of all formatting here.  I think it's a function of how many pics and how much you try to control the text flow/placement etc.

I'll risk one more picture

I'm thinking of buying one of these...

Obviously I'd like a black one and I'd need 5 doors for transporting the oldsters around.  Bleeding purple text now! I give in.

Oh happy day!

Finally the suspension is all back together.

I'm not sure that 30mm drop was enough but its the VW original low suspension spec so it's "right".

I read elsewhere I'm not really sure where that it will settle so I should expect it to creep lower.  More Camper Creep. 

I want to drive it around to find out what it "feels" like but the engine needs sorting and there is a little matter of no MOT.  The barrels and pistons needed for the engine fix are on a back order from Cool Air with no real indication of when to be expected.

Hot off the press "Item will be despatched on 23/5/2008"

Bugger they surely won't try to deliver it to a work address over the Bank Holiday?

Will they?

Further checks to my email reveals

"We regret this item is temporarily out of stock, but should be despatched on 27/5/2008."

I replied to the first one -which came second if you see what I mean, but not the second one which came first.

Now we're all confused

No it's probably just me.
