Hey ryan,
I think you still have a bumper I was supposed to pick up from you many moons ago but never got there!
anyway - I have a bullbar and rear bar if you're keen (theyre in south eastern suburbs)
cheers

I have waited 3 years for these pics..
SWEET😉
ps: any engine pics?
what is it that you have stuck to the walls, ryan? they look like old newspapers or something....
and how did you do the checkered floor? that is AWESOME 🙂
Hi Ryan, I have got some spotties you can have for nicks if you want them. They are cheap plastic ones, but they were ok on our bus for a couple of years. We got Harley D ones now, so give us a tingle if you want them.
When I say cheap plastic, the lens is glass.....
Where'd that poptop come from? Mine is like most I have seen - fibreglass and sticking out too high!
roof racks on the pop top looks cool smart idea & street map as wallpaper you have to jump in back to see where your going:thumb
is that air vents under sliding door handle or trick pic
Well done Ryan! It's been a long road eh?
Kruizin Kol
thanks all, yes it has been a while. will try and find an engine pic, helbus, might take u up on that offer, i have a set to fit but one has a lense that is wrecked. yep winerot, ther is an airvent in the sliding door, one of the many mods that was there when i got the car. many more vents on the other side.

closest thing i have to an engine shot for the moment. there are 2 thermo fans hidden behind the rad.

mns kmobi the roof is an early trakka model, a bit lower profile the the sopru ones, and has a nice solid steel frame built in to retain teh roof's strength

YAY! IM REGISTERED! just drove into burwood and back, car ran like a dream. not exactly quiet at speed (wind buffering off poptop) but no engine or heating problems, seemed to sit at a constant temp, no water leaks anywhere or unpleasant noises. :thumb :thumb :thumb
might need a couple of :beer tonight to celebrate

Well done Mate, congrats. Now you MUST change your avatar at once.

Lookin' great mate, must all seem worth it now eh!

Woohoo........how exciting Ryan.Congrats....you probably won't see this message for days as you'll be out driving all the time!!!!!!!:party:party:party
Oh....Snap.....!
Congrats BBCK.
Nice to get it regoed finally isn't it. Enjoy.
Now the real fun begins...that is...gettting every thing to work as best as pos. How well does it cool on the freeway?
been on the road for almost a week now, wow what a rollercoaster. i am losing ALOT of water, and a little bit of oil, still not sure how but am working on it, but the car has been cruising better then i could have imagined, headed to frankston yesterday, got to boronia and a drive shaft fell off! fixed it on the spot (thanks to the guys at the VW shop for the cheap bolts), was simply not put on quite right in the first place and had worked its way loose, made it to frankston and back cruising comfortably at upto 95, no overheating, but seemed to boil going to templestow and back today after replacing the thermostat (which was absent), am getting rediculously good fuel economy (averaging 10l/100km!), shock bolt on passenger side tried to work itself loose today, and filled the cabin with smoke when turned the headlights on, but turned out just to be a short from one of my accessory guages.
