Weaseling out of things is what separates us from the animals....................Except the Weasel.
Pete isnt the real question "will Dave be doing any work at work on Monday"
Nice car Dave, I luv that Blue on Beetles.
SWEEEEET!
Its good to see another VW on the road..
Good job Dave!
:thumb:thumb:thumb
yeah this one has taken some time... but its been enjoyable,,,, did all the little things over the years untill i had the funds to get the major body work done.
I would like to thank Qantas for there generious donation to the fund.
And Carlton n United.... :puke
That pic dosent show the true colour...
Hmmm, good point Grey57.
The question has been asked several times before" is this a chemical manufacturing plant or a VW workshop?".
Looks like we have to update the "work carpark shot" Dave. Thae Sea Blue will add a nice contrast to the collection..

SEA BLUE:bounce
Didnt i tell you that in the other thread ???
I had the craps with my rear screen glass... it had a stain on the glass which i though wouldn tshow up... but out in the sun light it did ... so this arvo i kicked the screen out n got another screen from the archives.. much betterererere....
Its just that i have spent the last hour fitting the staino chrome trim to the rubber... and its driving me made sometimes those trim windows can take hours.. and besides i heard the putor calling

Anyway, looks great Dave love the colour.
Ooh, suits you sir!
