I was going to change jobs but now after the car accident I wont be good for it for at least 6 months if at all. :cussing
Fleur is getting so excited about the new beetle. 😍
has she decided on another color scheme or does she want the same again ?

We will keep this one original for the time being 🙂
Glad to hear it, Hellbus!
Went to visit the Kombi at the workshop today, inards of the gearbox not as bad as I thought. Actually they look like new! All it needs is new bearings and Its back on the road. Pige blew a oil switch, I now have two new german ones for her. $10 each! bargain! I actually let Jodie take her to work today, man was it a nervous day waiting for her to come home. I was sitting out on the front deck when she came up the road. Boy do I love that car, I couldn't help smiling when I saw her!

Yay we got Fleurs new Beetle today. She is as happy as. I got her a present too. I had new German running boards which I had hidden in the shed, and when we got home I gave them to her and she was even more stoked.
I have spent the last three hours fitting them. Sounds like a long time, but I had a titanium plate but in my back less than 6 weeks ago!
hey helbus your recovery time as in gettin back to work must be a fair bit quicker then the dr's would have suggested wouldnt it ???
how many time a week you hittin the physio ?
Founding member of the C'town Rat-Pack
Two times a week to the physio. Knocking them dead with my recovery time.
I feel pretty good about being back to normal in 6 months. The Dr said I will be able to surf, ski, whatever. I will have a normal life and the plate will not affect me greatly.
I am advised however not to do motorcross without a backbrace. I don't motorcross anyway so.....
sounds pretty sweet to me. dont worry about motocross most of them dudes are looneies any way lol
now the question is the doc said you could surf in 6 months but could you surf b4 the inncodent ?
Founding member of the C'town Rat-Pack
That's a good point 🙂 I cant surf now, so does this mean I'll gain talents ?
hahaha this is what my old man said about playing tennis when the doc said he had tennis elbow. my dad said will i ever play tennis again the dr said yes....my dad said good cause i sure as hell cant play it now 😉
when your full better go in and tell him you cant surf and ask why not LMAO
Founding member of the C'town Rat-Pack
Pete you always gain talents...the possibilities are endless 👍👍
Damn I've just spent ages scanning the puter cos it's doing strange things since I've not been using it....like keys getting stuff and not tying when I want it to ....and shift key not working.....AND my clock is always out of syn now :alien
Hmmmm....the things that go strong when your life changes 😵💫
Eddie took me to see Joe Cocker on Saturday night at a winery near here.....it was such a good night...I made a fool of myself (as usual) I couldn't stop dancing ....the only thing missing was the joint :party
Oh well I was high enough :rudolf
Rob pige does look so shiny in that pic....she is such a pretty young girl....Do you have a Chrissy present for her?
joe crockers cool 👍
have you been leaving the computer on jenz or does it sit there off ? maybe the clock battery is starting to go 🙁

reastoring the steering wheel aye ??? have you seen the pearl craft ones i know there not original but they look cool 🙂
Founding member of the C'town Rat-Pack
Pearl like the limo!
Yeah I have seen them I had one on a truck I drove once. They were all the rage in the 50's.
Somehow I don't think it would be a good look for Pige. I like the nice ivory paint better, I am gunna give it a few extra coats of clear though. If it were a hot rod I spose it would look in place but Ol Pige is just a de luxe 56 Beetle. I have been told that a good paint to use is a single stage urethane. Got any suggestions?
The colour I used on the steering colomn is Ivory but the shade is quite light. I have seen spies hecker Ivory's and they are a darker shade.
Hellbus. Thers nothing better than the dash of an EH!

...I missed you Rob..I was talking politics elsewhere :jesus
Better hit the bed....Eddie is working back....seems like the doctors are trying to get through their surgical cases before the holidays and they are still operating...well that's my theory about why they are still doing elective ops at this hour....some are long cases. Eddie was meant to finish at 9pm...I'll have to be silent when I get up in the morn and he promises to do the same coming in
🤪
politics ?!?!?!
i find the 2pac paint it pretty darn hardy ive done a few surf board fins in it and they take some real abuse and there all good still.
what do you think helbus ?
you right too rob i dont think a pearl one would suit pidge.
awesome dash in the eh 👍
i went surfing after work last night it was great just me my dad and brother out on a nice little point break about 2-3foot perfect for our longboards :sandrine

Two pack on a steering wheel will work good too. I know a few guys have restored their own steering wheels using aryldite (fix chips & cracks) and two pack paint.
