Cool Rob...You'll have to get some pics up soon for us...Was it hard to do?
Mandie...fixing your ride can be expensive but well worth it in the end...especially if you want to keep driving them...🙂
Hope it all works out well and the spittie is on the road soon!!!!!
yeh..i still have to get back to aus and do work on the 64 when dad gets back. he doesn't want me doing it on my own...
(that's okay, i'll just take-over, and do up the golf some more while i wait)
dude..i like that low bus...it's niiiice.
(oh and splittychick..at least you get some money...try living on a gap assistants salary. 😉
zac
Nice to see....everybody working on something......:thumb
Hey Jenz
It was easy fitting them, just had to make sure they were centralised, so they don't stick out. You just deflate the tyre, break the bead, and then slide them in under the rim edge. Easy!!!!!!
Also fixed the rear engine lid spring retaining clip.
Hope this car likes me!!!!!

Hi ppls.
Hope everyone had a good weekend. I went to london from bristol (about 120miles away) and guess how much it cost me? £42 POUNDS ONE-WAY!!!
i mean screw that, i had to go to london but 42quid...that's crazy shit.
on the plus side though, i saw my uncle and cousin and got a new phone...nokia 6610. also got pissed in the arrivals terminal of heathrow airport while waiting for a girl i met last holidays..i was with her waiting for her sister to arrive after spending time in nairobi.
yeh,oh, and it was sunny here *shock*!!!!
so i went swimming for like the 3rd day in a row...so that is really freaky. (it's still apparently going to be the wettest summer on record though...)
Robo...good to hear that pidge is finally 'old skool' registered!!!
and kafer69...i'm glad that with that good wiring diagram you have that you are slowly getting the wiring done...
splitty chick....have you got ur car back from the mechanics yet?? was the bill as bad as you thought?
pyro...did you have a look at the links i posted? now you can see what it's like to go on it!!!
cheers,
zac

Heh all.....well dropped the splitty at the mechs on Saturday & i'm going in there this arvo as he'll have it up on the hoist so i vcan get a good look underneath her.It going to be good (hopefully)to get his opinion on her overall condition as i haven't really shown her to anyone yet.
also bought a digital camera on Saturdy so i can now take some photos & hopefully work out how to post them.:thumb
Zac...sounds like your having fun but i totally sympathise with you on the money factor.When i was travelling & lived in England i was working about 50 hrs a week & earning 70pounds!!!!!!That was working full time then afew hours here & then at the hostel i lived at to cover my accomadation!!Regardless of the crap money it was still the best time of my life!! :bounce
Rob....great to hear that Pidge is on club rego & cruising.Bummer those pictures won't attach.:o
Kafer...i love reading your progress updates as it helps to inspire me with my splitty..also how cool was it that Rupert got the other million.😉
Pyro you gotta get your home computer happ'n again........we need you back in here regularly!!
Jen.....i promise to make it to the next club meeting & catch up with you.....hopefully you'll be there.:thumb:thumb
Yhe well I'm working about 70 for 68pounds...like 85p an hour or something. (but i get accomodation and meals provided so yeh)
How'd looking at the underneath of the splitty go? good news i hope?
and also good to know that you have a digi cam...i recommend yahoo photos for posting ur own online (u get 20mb for free...so that's where i chuch most of my photos...)
yeh...beautiful weather here again today..hope it lasts. sunshine all day and was even able to get the afternoon off to go in the school pool and then lay in the sun. (i have to keep my aussie tan looking real hahaha. when i go to california for the summer i want to come back darker than i went, so there's still hope for me.)
hope everyone had a good day back in aus.

Rob way cool about taking Pidge for a cruise....did it feel good?...Can't wait to see pics of it with the whitewalls!!!😎
I got a call from Ingrid.....she's ready to put paint on Bel!!!!:bounce:bounce
I'd better get my act together and get the last couple of things I need for her..like seat belts...and see how her door trims are going etc...Things are starting to move fast now all the hard work is over...🙂
OK Robo here we go
[Edited on 18-5-2004 by kafer69]

Robo man I am liking those whitewalls!!!
Colour of the beetle is also very nice...(wouldn;t mind it myself hehe)
I competed in a run yesterday...out of 380odd i came 24th, with a time of 18mins. I'm pretty happy, but I think I could've done better. Neway, at least i got a medal and stuff, plus it was a beautiful day yesterday.
(jen, i've even been told that i have a tan line from my shirt hahahaha)
yeh, well now i'm up at 5.30am because the light is too much and i can't sleep (i never thought i'd OPTIONALLY get up before 7am...the latest possible time for me) but, oh well. neways, things to do..
ciao

Hey Zac..Can you see if anyone over there has new clear rear lenses to suit a '69 Notch.
and while your at it pick up some of those nerdy black things they wear over their eyes in old movies......:P
...and Zac can you ask around to see if there are any pop-outs for a 58? :thumb
lol about the tan line...it must be left over from your last summer here ;)
Jay figured I wouldn't have missed out on anything cept maybe seeing the video of the dinner dance, but I did miss catching up on news from you all :jesus
Bel's going the Strato Blue...decision is final now :bounce
Ingrid was wet sanding Bel's primer yesterday, and she will start painting her next week...Yippppeeeeeee!!!!
strato blue...niiice colour jen!!!
haha, well i can say i've been going and having a nice early morning swim before work,...then working thru the day, then relaxing by the pool in the afternoon (god i make it sound soo easy don't i??) (i think this is how i am keeping my tan...(plus going to california in the summer i want to come back dark!!)
yeh, well i'm going to bed now, can't be arsed to do anything else.
cheers,
zac

Hi PPL
Sounds like everyone's happy!!!
Jenz
Glad to see the colour is finaly being applied. I think you made a fine choise with Strato Blue.
Just scored some vintage Ray Ban Wayfarer sunglasses, black frames not the tortouise shell frames. Now I have a 50's car, watch and sunnies. All I need is Marilyn Monroe, and it will be all complete! He He He!
Hey Kafer
The ol Notch must be getting close to finished now. Hows it going.
Zac
When are ya getting home! an I hope you haven't forgoten about that 51 Beetle you found.
Splittychick.
Glad to see things are comming along with the bus! you must be feeling a bit better now its on the comeback trail.

Hi Zac
So looks like you still have a fair bit of time abroad yet! Man I wish I would have done it when I was young. I will have to wait for the kids to grow up now. I am young at heart anyway so I spose I will still enjoy myself when I am in my 50's-60's. I wonder what it will be like for a 60 year old driving a 70 year old car?
