Okay
have found a panel beater that will work on the beetle, and he is even happy to do so 🙂
But I need to borrow a car trailer to get the body over to him. Anyone got one I could borrow for a day to get it there???????
Then the worse one, does anyone have any sort of jig setup to move a body about without it being attached to the pan?? and could I borrow that as well????????????
Need help.....
cheers

Thats cool,
just thought I'd ask.
Will check at work, bound to be someone with something there.
cheers

I had a jig made up so I could move my beetle body on the back of a box trailer. It tows really well but is underneath the beetle at the moment while she ius being worked on.
I have asked them to make another one for the pan but I am not sure how long before it will be ready. When do you need it?

hey Chris, if you join "Klub VW" you could use the Klub trailer...???
Have decided to get the bug worked on soon, so I will get something put together and warn the panel beater not to lean on it too much 😀
The car trailer was just to shift the body over to the panel beaters, but I will check at work. There is bound to be a few there, I see a couple in the car park on Base near where I work, so I should be able to borrow one of them................... Now if I can just coinvince them that I am a nice officer 😉
As for clubs... not sure yet. Am curious about one, but have been told to join another.... :alien will work it out in the wash 🙂
'Ah, whatever................'
Good luck with the nice officer line.
did "he" say "Another club"?....:cussing.....did you say "Another club"....why I orter:vader
lol
I already got the threat from the only person who would possibly hunt me down for fish!! that dangerous icelandic warrior princess that inhabits these boards occassionally (whenever study isn't present) has threatened me... but I don't think I can handle the disco blue jackets!!!!! :O
he he he
'Ah, whatever................'
Twisted sfister....yeah the force is strong with that one.:thumb
YOU'RE NOT MY FATHER!!!!!!!!!!!!
oops, sorry, that seems to be my normal response to that line nowdays... maybe too much DVD watching??????
'Ah, whatever................'
pssssttttt..... I heard a rumour about the disco jackets.. apparently the comically oversized buffalo hats and laplaps are compulsorary attire at meetings.... 😉 ..............teehee see if that one pricks up her attention 😉 :kiss
*$2 runns back under rock for fear of being bashed* aaaaagggghhhhh
a square frame with a couple of tabs welded on and castors, then bolt it through the tabs and presto a dolly to move it around, can ise wood aswell..... did ya ever use those 1600 bits chris?
Nope, I didn't as I still haven't finished... but, someone else did. I had a mate with a VW engine disaster out of canberra, so I dropped them to him and they are chugging along in a 74 (?) bug soemwhere south of you now 🙂
Thanks for those, he was very gratefull... as well as taking a few other bits I had stashed away for a rainy day :bounce
Was looking at the wood option, may just whack up a frame and bolt a few bits of 100 x 50 together with castors. Only has to last a few weeks I think (HOPE!!!!!!!!!!!):jesus
Cheers

OI!!!! are you lot dissing my club????????
huh? huh? whats wrong with 80s disco fashion eh??? hanging out at kelvin grove 80s is all the go with the under 30s........so my club is acutally CUTTING EDGE i tell ya!!!!!
sheesh. anyone would think you guys hadnt realised that rah rah skirts and off the shoulder tops and dangly earrings and wide belts and DISCO JACKETS are where its at.
anyway. despite his doubts re:club membership, penguin knows that the true beserker spirit..........join us or else....heheheh.........
(heheh...maybe we should just employ that as a our new strategy to increase membership.....hmmmmm.....we will track you down by the smell of fish oil rust-inhibitor........heheh...fishing....i forgot about that one....)
.
Well, the laplaps wouldn't be soooooo bad, if they weren't disco pink to clask with those jackets!!
Besides, I don't wear dangly earrings or rah rah skirts... my ears hurt with dangly earrings and I just don't have the legs for the skirts!
:P (runs and finds friendly greenpeace ship and asks for political asylum... preferably nowhere near a french holiday resort)
'Ah, whatever................'
you're gunna be decked out in your best 80s gear for action day though right????
.
most servos have car trailers. We normally head over to the Mobil in Kenmore or in Indro. normally 66 bucks, if u go on tuesdays it is half price (33). Well since last time we went anyways

but pengy is a cheapskate heheheh.
jokes jokes!!!!

Cool,
I'll stop intot eh Mobil and check it out, its on my way back into town from here. Thats a hell of a lot more realistic than Sydney costs. I was told $96 for 12 hrs last time I had to look for one, (Thats when Jay broke down), cos apart from taking my VW to the panel beaters I have to go back to Sydney and pick up my motor bike from the mechanics as well. Thats a few days worth of hire. Thanks Gawd I am back in QLD, bloody NSW prices for things!!!!
As for 80's gear... ummm. do I own anything else??????? I have no fashion sense, thats why I wear a uniform to work, that way I can't be wrong (well I can be, but its real hard) :P:duh
