Very nice ride. The blue is hot.
I haven't had the VW wave yet. In my other car, 1974 Merc, I've just had spastic people. I've only seen 4 people with exactially the same car and they have all gone absolutely crazy, hanging out the window and the like.
I haven't got anything from them yet but I've made a couple of enquiries for parts and Volkspower seems to be a good one in Melbourne.
www.volkspower.com.au you can fill in a enquiry form and both times I have they have got back to me very quickly.
Will look out for you driving around SEsubs.
Thanx!! I love my Pretty Blue Bug.... just about to go outside and snap an engine pic (even though it's standard, it's clean!)
I recently took my Beetle to Volkscare in Boronia, and they were awesome!! Very reasonable pricing, ultra friendly too and they knew what they were on about. 😀
What suburb are you in? I'm in Hawthorn.
Upwey, Ringwood and soon to be Abbotsford. :P
An engine pic, and part of my Beetle Security.... :P

I've been to Mr Bug in DANDENONG !!!! ages ago to get the Altezza lights for my new bug and they were the cheapest by far ! I am not sure if they are around anymore ? I heard something somewhere that they may have moved or changed their name or something ???????
they are still trading but i think they might be under BME now but they still answer the phone mr bug when i call. wonder if they still have the same staff. my old man still uses them for some of his parts

Well... I have done my first bit of work to my Bug today!
The windscreen wipers had a fair bit of surface rust on them..... so I sanded it all off, etch primed, and they'll get a nice coat of Star Silver Metallic. I'd love to know why it is that one wiper always comes off so nice and friendly-like, yet the other one is a right pain in the @#$$! 😀
Is it worth putting a pic or two up of the parcel shelf my bf and I made for my Beetle?
😵💫
Of course it is!:P
i reckon 🙂 keen to see your set-up.. did u see mine on my page?
Tagedeezee Heezy
Yep, I saw yours Damien. It looks very clean! 😀
Mine is completely different though.... it's very..... umm.... blue? Hahaha 😁
She's hot, i love the colour,
my pretty little buggy is going to get that tone of either pink or green.
Got any suggestions for what parts to paint if i make it pink and white?
Nice job with ur bug,It looks great!
Ella
Thanx for your comment Ellabella! :kiss One of my friends in NSW has a Beetle, and it's painted a darker blue than mine, but the wheel guards are blue/white marbled.... it looks awesome! I think that a wicked pink with white guards would look awesome all shiny! 😀
excellent! suites your car great!!!.. love the box in there.. i didnt think of that!
all the space behind my back seat is wasted.. untill a sub/amp fill it all up...One Day
Tagedeezee Heezy
Thanx Damien! 😀
I thought of the storage box for that very reason: wasted space otherwise. So I get to keep a street directory, jumper leads, etc in it. It's actually quite a decent size, and solid as! And I just HAD to have it furry..... my kicker things to put front speakers in are getting the fur treatment too. Lucky my headliner isn't too bad, else that would be furrified as well! Hahaha 😉
Just caught this thread and man that is a sweet beetle
I love the Porche rims

I am so jealous of people with pink bugs ! I so desperatly want to respray my oval HOT PINK but the boy refuses to allow that sort of thing happen to such a regal old lady. Mind you, she is currently a shocking shade of bright yellow, is low as and is so loud that you can hear her way before you can see her !
BTW. I love your parcel shelf ! Have seen a bug with a furry headliner once and it looked awesome !
🤘
Thank you beerdoc! Thank you h! 😀
If my headliner was battered and crappy, I would definitely be furring it!! LOL
When we paint-dyed my bf Egeworks' headliner, the second option was fur if the dye didn't work out. Lucky it did though, because I think it looks sweeet!
😎
Damn.... Gem might look pretty on the outside (and interior too) but the engine..... nothing but pain!!! She's in having major surgery today AND tomorrow..... 😢
whats the operation?
...and Robert's ya father's brother...
4 or so weeks ago had problems with my 'lil Bug..... and to cut a long story short: engine is not reco like I was told when I bought her. Today/tomorrow she is having the other head recoed/replaced (one was done 4-5 weeks ago), and since a cylinder is cracked and leaking oil BIG time, she'll end up with new 1600 pistons and cylinders.
I can't thank my amazing bf Egeworks enough, for his help, knowledge and patience with me and my Bug when we've needed it... and his mechanic is proving to be awesome too.... so long as Gem doesn't have any other problems! j/k 😉
i've got some recoed 1641 pistons and cylinders and heads for sale with new rings for sale....need em?
...and Robert's ya father's brother...
Awww.... thanx, but I don't need them. The ones going in are brand spanking new! 🙂
sweet! You won't have to worry about a thing for the next thirty years or so!
...and Robert's ya father's brother...
I really hope that's true! :duh
just stop going barra from the traffic lights all the time! 😉
...and Robert's ya father's brother...
Hahaha, I don't do that!! 😉
