You might have seen a brief bit of footage on the screens at the VolksWorld Show of Jon's Ragtop getting rebuilt. If you didn't (or want to see it properly) here is the full thing. It months of footage from a web cam zip tied to his bedroom window condensed into 8 minutes! The full restoration wasn't filmed, just the rebuild, but all the resto photos are in the gallery section!
