Upgrade to Defcon 3

Wheels off - quick look - wheels back on!

It is said in a lot of American Hollywood films when the US is under threat but what does it mean?

We reckon that they are referring to Alex Taylor who runs Defcon 3 VW Specialists based in Ringwood, Hampshire.
After all, he is getting us out of a jam.
The Frid is in need of some love and Alex has agreed to take a look at it for us.
Steve and James got up early yesterday, swapped the wheels over so they had at least some good tread on the road and headed over to see Alex.
He is more than happy to look at the Frid for us.
On the list of jobs to do is:
New tyres on the 2-litre alloys
New Beam
A few minor body repairs
New seat subframes
New gearbox

Hopefully we will be getting our baby back fairly soon with a fresh MOT.

If you need to get in touch with Defcon 3 give them a call on 07812 600 640

A special thank you must go out to Steve Theobold of S T Engineering in Haslemere as well. Steve supplied us with some spare Beetle wheels at the last minute with good tyres just so we could get the Frid to Alex. Thanks Steve.
Steve also runs an automotive repair company specialising in servicing, repairs and MOTs for any cars but loves his VWs as well. Top man!
