so i have some pics left in camera that i haven’t published yet. here they come:
first got a sweet t-shirt. thanks, Petteri! 
and this is how South-Park moved. at least i got some of the movement
and a little shot of my girl. getting some skills on PC
to tallinn where folkwagen was on a commercial shooting. some pics are on phone, once i get it connected i can share them. but at least Kadi enjoyed WII at her aunt’s place
but before the events on the ‘63 bus some other… pics…
at first – so we raise the next generation, right?
then we had a storm. i wasn’t at Elva there it was greatest as i heard… and the pics don’t show much but it was awesome at that time
now some pics of my poor ‘64 split bus that will be parts donor pretty soon. sad that i will end one split bus 
but here are pics for Mindaugas. sorry, the parts are not in that good shape… some points you needed are solid and good, others are far gone
and finally the “cherry”. the ‘63 split. i know i said after Folkwagen that every car looks so easy to repair. well… i don’t do that no more. this bus actually IS worse. at least to my eye. i know it looked sweet and nice but… send it to blasting and all you get back is some metal pieces. there’s f/*¤!?g rust EVERYWHERE. and the worst part – last restorer (not sure if i can call him/her that) has made the task pretty easy. just weld new metal ON old rust, add some kg putty and it’s all good. i say again – this is not how you should restore a car. really. i quit my day today because i ran out of cutting disks. first thing tomorrow morning will be to local shop to get some more disks to get some more rust out…
yes, it’s August. yes, the bus should be ready. no, it’s not ready yet. but i got the rear right corner done. DAMN it was “fixed” at some point. basically all that was left was putty. you DO NOT fix car that way. even i don’t. anyway now it’s fixed, took some time as i had to rebuild some structure under the sheet metal
and secondly – i haven’t introduced 2 new family members. cats Masha & Notsu (Piggy) we got with the new house. truly great babysitters
started to clean up the “garage”, nu refugee place for South-Park (or maybe i should change the name to East Side Park now as i live more like in east?). small corner is done, lot’s crap thrown out. still the roof need attention in first place as after that i can replace the second floor and THEN i can start bringing in the cars
with a small history
but overall is approved by my little girl so it should be good. at least she has place to run around
and last but not least – VW stuff. mainly i have been welding the ‘63 split but. dear god is it rotten with media blast i think i would have got only a net back. the roof is horrible, just when i try to weld it all i get is a hole but what the hell, roof is done! as well as the front window frames. so some broken bolts to remove from rear hatch fastening and bus is done down to windows level
but hey, this is real three way split
so i finally got so far that a) i found the camera battery charger b) found the cable for the phone. soon some better pics will follow but for now a quick overview with phone camera
1) i moved to a new place. HUGH stable for garage (needs heck of a lot work) with really nice house. so this is how we arrived first time (it’s the sun not tears in my little girls eyes)
2) “lost” my good (i think it was good) 2.1 WBX engine with DJ code and 112hp. some good people needed it sooner than me. so now i’m looking for a new one
3) spotted a really nice buggy couple of days ago in Tartu
4) took some new pics of the split but hitch setup
5) and managed to get some work done on the Erki’s ‘63 bus. welded and cleaned rear bumper, cleaned body & roof and prepared the roof for welding. maybe next time i can get the top done
so FINALLY i got so far that i started with Erkis bus. sorry, bro, it took so freakin’ long. anyway. started with the roof. that one needs lots of cleaning
but with wire brush watch out. i can hurt you
so of course i found lots of surprises. bad ones, yes. roof is pretty dented and is done already at some point. some surface rust keeps ok, some “boils” up. at some points it had couple mm putty and sides need some welding bad. found even a big hole in the front honestly – it looks bad
after half day cleaning i decided to do some more progressive job – disassembling. this i learned from TheSamba – this is how you can open really stuck screws
and this is how i lost one comrade. these screws don’t want to move
so moving on… i turned to front windows. i suspected bad as seals were “sealed” with silicon. and there was reason
after that… i just turned against interia. and tore it apart. that revealed some more jobs i have to do in future. some bad repairs, some rust…
but overall – good first day
forgot to mention that last Saturday we were in Finland versus Sipoo Bulldogs. we did a clean job 16:0 (though it should have been at least 20:0 as the referee made a mistake counting points. punt interception in the endzone is a touchdown not a safety). another highlight video by Orm
next play – this Saturday 1300 at Kalevi stadion, Tallinn. we’re against Lieto Oakmen
ja maa keeli tsitaat naise suust – “rõve on olla loll ja energiline”
weather was/is nice so i took Kadi with me and we went to Elva for couple of hours. it’s nice there and we were on football theme as the whole world at the moment
and took some details of the westy
and group photo. don’t let it fool you – there’s at least 5 buses missing
so… the face paints proved useful even more than just once – my impression of split bus should start to make t-shirts
and some pics of the cabrio from underneath. yup, has some holes but pretty small ones
what else? been pretty loaded with work (but fully without results ) so basically… trying to survive will have my very first competition this weekend Sunday at Tallinn Hipodroom, 06.June 1500 against Salo Scorpions. be there (to support me/us) or be triangle!
