I don't think there's ever been anything I hated about my buggy, even though it's being reinCARnated as whole different vehicle.

I don't need to hate anything about my VWs, that's what I've got an old Peugeot for, it deserves all the hate in the world, as my girlfreind keeps expressing.

yes they do deserve that kind of treatment cause of the way they are designed, i.e we will put this here so they cant reach it and if they can they cant do anything with it

I hate the fact that it is in a million pieces and I just don't know where to start in putting it back together......

I hate the fact that my wife looks out the window and throws a tantrum because it makes the pegola "look messy" and that she is too embarrased to have people over as our back yard looks like a scrap yard.

I hate the fact that I still haven't chosen a color to paint it and it is almost ready to visit the spray painter !

see.... air and water do mix 😉

I hate that I hooked up the fuel tank after nearly 2 years of rebuilding the 1302 and it has rusted out from the inside. Leaks like a sieve!!😠

geez kol I just messed my pants. nice shiny new microbus in the driveway would be too kewel. Definitely order the trip speedo and clock.

What I dont like (most) about my kombi is that the indicators dont cancel on left hand corners, and only cancels sometimes on right hand corners.

Dan is there nothing from a Porsche that would handle all the torque that beast puts out and would be an economical swap(economical and Porsche in the same sentence?????)

😀 I think you just answered your own question Gary.

no, not really. I looked briefly at the G50 and 905 boxes.
too much stuffing around, the car was already set up for a 2 litre kombi box.
just spent $2500 getting a kombi box built with new or reco everything, Albins diff and Albins 3rd/4th
we'll see how this box holds up now. 🙂
