I’ve put Helga back on the road for the summer. I’m gonna do a lot more work on her over the winter but in the meantime I’m doing a few small jobs here and there. At the moment I’m fitting these “peace sign” stop lights. They are Death Science hippy lenses for hotrods and custom bikes that I bought through Lowbrow Customs a while ago (not available any more AFAIK). I bought Model A trims for them and made up the backing plates and mounting brackets myself and used LED bulbs to illuminate them.

I haven't updated this in ages but I'm still working away on it. Renewing the suspension and steering at the moment....

I've had the subframe shotblasted and I've cleaned and repainted everything. I've replace upper and lower balljoints , sway bar bushes , hub bearings and seals , idler arm , pitman arm , all steering rods and adjusters.

Hey Scott,
Do you know any other van owners that I should feature on the cover of our catalog?
Also, will you want any more extra copies after the current issue goes out of date?
Jeff



COME ON SEND JEFF A EMAIL ! ! !

Shaggy, when my van grows up. It wants to be Helga. She's gorgeous thus far. Thanks for the update.
