Just a few pics of my last week. Starting with the Inistioge show Co. Kilkenny last Sunday Inistigoe 5 by kevreadedj, on Flickr I headed off for a night up to Kilbrannish hill/forest walk IMG_3661 by kevreadedj, on Flickr I then decided to head down to Tramore and along the Copper Coast. I wanted to do some of the Waterford Greenway cycle. IMG_3675 by kevreadedj, on Flickr IMG_3664 by kevreadedj, on Flickr IMG_3665 by kevreadedj, on Flickr I left Dungarvan, Co Waterford this afternoon and drove up to Barretstown Camp in Kildare to surprise the kids with a VW convoy. IMG_3677 by kevreadedj, on Flickr The van performed (almost) faultlessly. I think a dodgy earth is making my rear light do strange things but I look at that tomorrow. Time for the couch and a cold beer.
Read this from start to finish, great resto it’s a credit to you. Visited Ireland for the first time this year and will be back in the van!
The van has been very reliable so far this year but I've noticed a noise under load. I eventually bit the bullet and decided to upgrade the drive shafts. I'm not 100% that this was the issue but I thought they were due an upgrade anyway. Also, one of my shocks had got noisy too despite it being only a few years old. IMG_4772 by kevreadedj, on Flickr I ordered the best quality CV joints available and fitted them with new bolts. (the old ones were a bitch to remove) IMG_5130 by kevreadedj, on Flickr IMG_5135 by kevreadedj, on Flickr
Next I turned my attention to a little side project I picked up this BMX online for €20. IMG_4282 by kevreadedj, on Flickr Chucked it up on the rack for shows/festivals as a cheap runabout. Then I decided to give it a resto in keeping with the van. Stripped it down IMG_4427 by kevreadedj, on Flickr IMG_4433 by kevreadedj, on Flickr .....and bought some parts to freshen it up IMG_4466 by kevreadedj, on Flickr Painted the frame in the same colour as the van IMG_4552 by kevreadedj, on Flickr IMG_E4951 by kevreadedj, on Flickr IMG_4975 by kevreadedj, on Flickr IMG_4523 by kevreadedj, on Flickr And it finally turned out like this IMG_5288 by kevreadedj, on Flickr Delighted with how it turned out!
Finally, a cool little pic at the Ostkuste Show this year Ostkuste toybox 19 edited by kevreadedj, on Flickr
