Jenz

Looks fantastic Jenz...would love to see her on the road
Makes the respray I did on our beetle look like a bodge job. 🙂
I'd love to make Valla in her but I don't think she's going to be ready, still a lot to do...headliner, ragtop, and the carpets have to be made for her 🙁
DOVW will be her coming out.....and hopefully on the road before then clocking up some k's in the sunshine with the roof back!!!! Mmmmmmm........ *Jenz lapses into wonderful dreams*
Rob, definitely better than new....she'll have the Goldie😎
We'll try and make it to the Nat's next year🙂
Wow Jen...
You must be absolutely rapt. How good is Ingrid? I was showing the pics to a good friend at work who has recently bought a 62 and a half and we were just sitting there, mouths open and speechless. Congratulations. Bel's gonna be the star of the show at the Day.
Did you get my email re door trims?
Cheers
Brad
Hi Brad
Thank you 🙂 Yes I'm pretty excited about how she's coming along...I can't wait to drive her!!
My email server is down so can't get my emails right now but I'll keep checking. You still have a bit of time...lots of things still to be done before the door trims are needed :thumb
wow that is gorgeous! great paint job.
Jon
The paint job is tops.... it's all the body work they did which helped with the finish I'm sure, they have a wizard of a panel beater working for them😎
as everyone has said, thats an awesome job theyve done there.
u must be stoked.
cant wait fot the day my car is that immaculate, love the shot from under the gearbox, shows just how clean this car must be at the moment.
congratulations jen

She was wheeled around on a trolley for a while
Forgot to post this one....We found her outside in the sun one day when we visited 🙂

Great work! 😎

Tagedeezee Heezy
That's a full on job you had done Jenz, but worth it because she looks magnificent.
Where did you get the rag top from? Is it from a donar car or a repo?
Looks like they had the car for a while, alot of other cars came and went during the process. Enjoy the fruits of your labour.
Commited dubber..... My wife thinks I ought to be commited!
The clip is not a repro....but When I bought it it was as was, a clip......A Golde rag-top clip...so original and in good nick 🙂
No my work but the shops...but I've put a lot of thought..gathering bits and $'s into Bel...Well I love her and didn't want her to waste away due to neglect ...Hmmmm.... may I have over done it but she'll be very sweet when finished
Looks awesome, looking forward to the finished pics............
Thank you 🙂
I thought I was going to have to search for this thread somewhere on page 3 😀
I've just ordered new number plates....Figured it was getting near that time.....
I'm going for the old style black and white with VIC at the top... They only give you a choice of numbers between GAA 000 & LZZ 999.....GUB___ was issued back in 1958...so could have gone for GUB 158 and got that but went for GVW 158 which was available instead... 😎
Couldn't get VWT 158 in this style cos it is a future issue number...could only get it in the current standard style and would have cost me $105 more!!:jesus
So my plates will mean...Genuine VW Type 1 1958 model :thumb
I dropped all of the chrome bits off at the electro platers 3 weeks ago and they'll be ready to be picked up on Friday.....then I'll go to check on Bel again
The wait has slowed work down a bit on Bel as Ingrid needs them to finish off her work
When I rang on Friday to tell them Mick said they had Bel's engine and the exhaust system back in ...all painted up and looking very smick 😎
I can't wait to see her again and take more pics
Hey Jen
Dropped in to see Bert and noted that Bel is looking very fine. I have also bought black & white plates. When I bought the car, the original rego papers were in the drivers'manual and so I was able to order the original rego number. Have you received your pop-outs yet? I'm still waiting for my latches and so no work has been done for 3 weeks - very frustrating.
Cool Paul!!! 😀
Bert would have been pleased to see you...and Bel knows you're looking out for her as well 🙂
I'm going in on Friday once I pick up the chromed parts from the electro plater...Ingrid is at a stand still until she gets them....
I rang on Friday and Mick said the engine is in and exhaust system on...all painted up!! Can't wait to see her🙂
You were lucky you had the papers telling you the original registration number....I had Vicroads check for me but with no luck....
The number I've chosen is kinda growing on me....I had other ideas for numbers but I couldn't have them if I wanted that style of plate
p.s. no...pop outs haven't arrived yet :cry
I emailed the guy on Friday cos I was getting worried....He tells me that he found a better pair for me and they got sent 2 weeks later than the fog lights....Hopefully they'll be here this week :bounce:bounce
That latch is taking it's time...I can understand the frustration...Fingers cross they arrive this week as well:sandrine

Absolutely NO IDEA Rob......
Hopefully before the DOVW...that's far enough away to be a safe guess 🙂
looks fantastic
Are u putting rear quarter popout in?
After looking at the pics It has given me new inspiration to get back to work on mine.
🙂
Yep...rear quarter pop outs going in when they arrive 🙂
....*It's getting dark....jenz figures they're not arriving today*...... 🙁
Goodness!!!! It's like being pregnant and waiting for the big moment to actually happen.... Hmmmm...Tomorrow!!! 😀
Don't you hate waiting for packages to arrive...........................😠
Bet you're looking forward to picking all you're shiny bits up on Friday.😉
