Seat covers Rob, Just re-trimmed the back in vinyl to match.
It maybe a rat but you gotta be comfy. Front seats wont have covers and there's no carpet on the inside
just cool mats to match the seat covers.
With any luck might get roadworthy on Friday.

Two more rims getting stripped and painted ready for two more cheese cutters.
That light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter by the day.
Might even post some pics on the weekend.
Don't want to peak to early.
Where is everyone...gone into winter hybernation or something.
I feel like i'm talking to myself :alien

:birthday Happy birthday splittychick:birthday :kiss
Have a great day..pity it can't be on a weekend but have fun anyway
Zac only problems I can see is thay the guard isn't on yet, the front seats aren't in and it doesn't have a steering wheel or any back wheels.
lucky the inspector is coming to me but everything should be in by the time he arrives. Which reminds me I'd better ring him..doh
i mean..who really needs the front seats, rear wheels and a steering wheel anyway these days??
you can sit on the back seat and just make it look like a new automatic car...

Thanx everyone....had a great bday but i very very tired....will fill you all in 2morrow.(well actually later 2day!!)😉
Smacked my head on the notch this afternoon and when the dust cleared i decided i want to put white walls on the notch.
Check out the post on the black karman and you'll see why. I'm in love.
Robo I want to talk to you about yours, tried to ring but your mobile is disconnected. u2u me your home no and we'll chew the fat.
Helloooo to everyone else hope all is well.
Man I love that karman....:kiss
what black carmen??? i might have to go searching for this one...
MOB: 0423890217
The pictures of the Karman look very nice but you would think that the owner would have fixed the suspension before he took those picture's, he must have forgot to put the torsion bars in or something!😀

where are the updates....
it's 8.15am on sunday morning...it's my weekend off, but i have been told that i am required to work..idiots.
had a few arguements with the principal recently over wages and conditions of work and hours etc.. oh well, we'll see what happens i guess...

ooo....look what I have dreged up from the very first page of this thread...
Orignally posted by me on the 15th of something-or-rather...
list of the things i want to do to my type 3 includes:
reco-d dash
new seatbelts
recaro bucket seats(front anyway)
maybe a new gearbox
new tires/brakes/pads (i've already put discs on the front..still drums on the rear)
the 1500 motor in the back could use a bit of work
and i know i need to check the electrics
put in a proper roll bar because if i'm gunna drive it in khana-X and things it's better to be safe than sorry right??? and being an old car, it might make it a bit safer on the road as well.
i'll also get a better stereo and speakers.
woah..long list...i can think of more stuff to add too..like suspension (kafer, you can help me with that one
😀), a paintjob...some minor rust-fixing..
but, i have done a few things to it including...
replacing the doorseals
replacing the doorlocks (with originals)
got some 'old' original floor-mats
had fun down on the dirt roads with dad...oops, wrong list
heh..that list is no as big yet...oh well, i'll get there

The Notch (or the rat as my 5 yr old daughter now calls it) passed its roadworthy y'day. Be Reg'd by the end of the week. If I get the new exhaust system this week might even drive it out to the Winter Nationals.
It's like driving a limo compared to the beetle.
kafer well done man!!! have a few :beer :beer for me will ya?
i managed to get a £25 pay rise out of the dodgy bastards at the school, so that is good..am a bit happire now..just a bit.

Woohoo.......that must be a great feeling Kafer....:bounce
My splittys still at the mechanics .Its been 3 weeks & he hasn't even started yet.:cussing
I got some elephant ear mirrors & chrome trimmed indicator lenses for my birthday & also a gift voucher for auto barn which i'll probably use for seatbelts!
Congrats on the pay rise Zac...every little bit helps.:thumb

Mandie they were very cool pressies 😎
People must know you're a VW freak!!:thumb
Zac...thanks for the link...Poor Nemo 🙁
I'm gunna try and see Bel tomorrow....she should have some paint on her by now :bounce:bounce
Heh Jen,is Bel going to be ready for Valla?Are you going to Valla regardless?:o
The way she's going I don't think she'll be ready for Valla....and by looking at the roster of staff that are on leave in August I don't think I'll be making it...🙁
They finally put up a roster so you can see who's planned leave....a good thing, but not good news for me:jesus
Good to see everyone's back!
Looks like all our little projects are comming along nicely, although Im a bit worried about Kafer man, he seems to have this desire to go gardening (cutting weeds) definately a worry!!
