congrats matey. I know your pain, but it's great to see you did things the right way as opposed to doing whatever you wanted and driving round in an illegal car like most would.
Great to see you got the all clear mate.
After all your work its ready to enjoy.
Also its great that you put the info up here to help people see and understand what its all about.

nice one, spotted u parked in nichalson street the other day, caught my eye realy good !
Well done for getting the job done right. Now all the spending is out of the way all you have to do is enjoy her and I dare say pay the bills for the next year or two.
Just in time for summer😵💫

wow - best beetle modified 58-67 at DOTVW
I'M WRAPPED TO SAY THE LEAST.
thanks to sash for bringing a chamois along - i had to get up at 6.30am after a late night to drive from ballarat, so it wasnt exactly show ready.... (neither was I!)
anyone get any pics?

I got a pic of it Golde, will put it up for you tonight on the DOVW pic thread.
Congrats on the win, it's an awesome looking Bug! :thumb
Congratulations Kim - it is surely a well deserved award!
thanks blu
yours is a cool ride too.
i remember seeing it in the mornings on my way to work in hawthorn a few mornings
cheers for the pics too, i will link up a few into this post, cos i didnt have the camera there on the day

Al - thats very high praise coming from you.
thanks mate. i look forward to seeing yours in the flesh one day.
heres some pics from the other threads.

some fine shit there brother.Now next project hey.😁
still a few things to sort out with this one such as speaker enclosure and interior tweaks.
other than that its pretty much done. i m looking forward to driving it over summer, especially now that its rego'd, as of yesterday. gonna clock up 1000ks pretty soon (had about 850 at the rego inspection)
"was only out at d.o.t.v.w. for the safety check", just like you dames. i even got a permit to drive there officer!
haha.
thank god i finally got it rego'd, after all the engineering bits and then another nightmare with vicroads, cos i couldn t prove the vehicles history. (it probably hadnt been rego'd in 20 years). they dont keep records for more than 5 years in tassie (twice as many heads to track over there) and the car came with no plates or rego stickers.
i wrote a few letters, got two stat decs and eventually broke through the red tape.
if anyone has any dramas, i know the drill pretty well now!!
WHOO HOO
time to enjoy it

oh, and i got a cool mooneyes 6k tacho as a christmas present to myself
:tree:party
...................( O \ l / O ).....................
now that i m out and driving, i think its time to follow up on the discussions that i have been having with various people regarding my engineering certification.
i have added up all the costs that were involved in getting it done and i have decided that i will be making reports available to people that are interested.
please u2u me for details on the costs
just so that i am clear, what i am selling is one 'license' to use the report so that it is legal (both from RTA's point of view, and also for insurance purposes) to drive on the road.
the report has been written in a way such that it cannot be duplicated or onsold without my prior consent or a specific agreement being written into it for a particular vehicle.
this applies to the spindle component of the CB performance wide 5 disk brake kit.
this does not apply to a regular CB performance dropped spindle.
it is also important to note that my car has passed the brake fade test with a 2L type 4 engine in it (making approximately 60kw at the rear wheels) and weighing about 40kg more than a stock engine
therefore if you are putting a smaller/lighter/less powerful engine you theoretically pass this test too.
just to preempt any sceptical comments, i am not doing this for the money. i am doing it as a means for people to easily get their car certified and legal THE RIGHT WAY.
the price will be a fraction of the cost and is only a means to me recouping some of my rather large outlay

hey good to see your bug is on the road (rego'd) looks real sweet
fun in dub's
bump for toby
...................( O \ l / O ).....................
Was thinking of this crazy thing the other day. Is it still running well?
going awesome
driving everyday - has about 7500 ks up already.
dragged off a Z4 b em trouble you today too
gotta get some pics now that its all finished.
bad news is that the stereo got stolen about a month ago and i need to get it replaced. other than that i could nt be happier
...................( O \ l / O ).....................
Sweet car mate. I checked it out a DOVW last year. Top notch.
Nice to see one done properly too. Proves it can be done.:thumb
Hey does anyone have contact details for Kim (Golde60) i have tried pm and email but no joy.
Would like to buy a copy of the engineering paperwork from him.
Thanks
Tristan
