new door-job...
looks the sh!t! What white is it? I should really come around sometime to see it in the flesh!
...and Robert's ya father's brother...
Yeah that looks juuuuuuuuuuust right!
😀
thanks chris, for posting that for me🙂 i was tripping outta my skull last night.. too many bottles of "V" at trade school!
the white i used was sophia white, it was left over paint from a lancer i painted the other day.. really cleans up the side of the car, and makes it look longer.. there are a few runs i have to cut out today :| but im very happy with the overall job🙂
i was gonna drop ur flares off last week chris.. but as steve probably told ya, my missus rang up while i was at his place, i had forgotten we were meant to go out for lunch.. so i had to take off ina hurry :S
i'll hafta come see you somtime too rob.. i need a horn haha!
anyways, off to school now.. cut out my runs, and give adolf a good cut/polish all over🙂
Tagedeezee Heezy
Wow Damien, that looks REEEALLY nice! :thumb😀
How's he driving lately?
Hey KKK, if you don't need an OG horn, I've got two eletric horns from a TX3 you can have...
...and Robert's ya father's brother...
sounds good chrissy!
thanks laura! he's driving pretty well.. in need of a service.. and i STILL havnt got the weber on!! 🙁
still waiting to get it all set up.. but im taking him down to phillip island thisweekend for a good old weekend of boozing.. he wont do much except for the transport there/back 😀
hows your pretty little thing going these days? blinged up huh? 🙂
Tagedeezee Heezy
Hey! 😀 Get that weber on your Bug, I wanna know how he goes! I think I'm going to get electric ignition thingy for mine, seems like it would be worthwhile after the things I've read on other posts. And I'd like to get an alternator too. 🙂
My pretty thing is going alright, she needs to have the idle adjusted a titchy bit though.... she's wanting to snooze when still at lights. Otherwise, she's definitly got a case of blingingitus!! 👍
That two-tone look is awesome! Can't wait till the dotvw to see it!!
thanks for the kind words fellas🙂
adolf made it to phillip island and back.. but i wish i had taken the roof rack off for the trip.. was whistling the whole way.. WAY too windy..
reached my new record topspeed just over 140k's on the speedo.. then there was a truck in my way and i had to slow down for the dowwnward slope of a hill.. so i coulda done better lol!!
EVEN better with out the rack
Tagedeezee Heezy
You left the roof rack on for the drive up the Island? Wow, that would've taken the wind out of your salis! good bye fuel efficiency! Though yes, I know it looks good.. but at what price....
that is the question

A 1968 Ascot Green Auto Stickshift? That was my first car as well. GO THE GREENIES!

its safari beige🙂 L620
Tagedeezee Heezy
the alt and progressive weber have been sent away along with adolf to a makes place to be mated together.. and it's been nothing but trouble!
the alt stand wont go on, as my genny stand has an EXTRA pipe headed into the sump, think it's a semi-auto thing - think i'll just sell it.
had to have the manifold for the weber tapped to run the vaccume for the autostick to work, engineering joint took care of that,
and the weber was all corroded, it had been left for quite some time with fuel in it..
looked tip top from the outside, but FULL of rust inside..
my mate cleaned it out, and kinda got it running.. rough as, and it blows a foot long flame when u back off the accellerator. his garage has a scorchmark on the wall now (zoom tube)
it's now being rebuilt and getting some smaller jets! so im Dubless for a little while longer.. driving my nannas daihatus applause around :repuke

hi killa i have got a 68 man beetle,you prob seen it the air bagged one i think two tone would look good but its up to you btw like the white walls gonna put some on my bug

thanks man, yeah i two toned it at school, so i could see how i liked it.. cos when i finish my apprenticship, im gonna bare metal it, and although i love it two toned, because i'v done it i can move onto somthing a bit more modern.. who knows i may decide to keep the current scheme

here are some recentish photos for ya'll 😀

Man that looks good. Don't go screwing with it. Buy another one and build it up instead. 👍
Bugger about the alternator and weber!! 🙁
Sounds like your Bug and mine are one of a kind..... mine has problem after problem..... since those hot days here, I can't get her into reverse and driving home from Eden's place tonight, she ran like absolute crap in L gear and seems to have the HUGEST flat spot! :cry
just love it man she a sweet ride love that colour year combo /oldskool all the way . where that stick shift emblem from
show us your gates
thanks guys!
stickshift emblem came out in the first 6 months of 68 - the first year autosticks were made.. very rare.. i have only seen one other.. brought over from the states.. mine was chrome, but i painted it grey silver with a gold pearl
UPDATE! got the carby going today at work pumping prepsol, so i should have it driving by tomorrow!
yipeee
Tagedeezee Heezy
to be more clear.. the carb didnt get sent off to be rebuilt/jetted.. mate at work and i found the primary throat was the one clogged. which prevented idleing, would only run when revved high, as secondary throat opened up. we cleaned it all up, and tested with prepsol, both jets squirted properly.
the car is now running, but only on 3 cylinders at low revs. lead and plugs rooted.. will get new ones tomorrow, and hopfully pick up the car tomorrow aswell.
i have beentold it run, and really gets going.. but it does need smaller jets
getting exciting now🙂
Tagedeezee Heezy
good to hear mate i remember when i put my twin barrel webber on it went like a cut cat

Yay, hope it's all good when you get it back!
So why couldn't you do the alternator conversion...? Wanna u2u me the details? :P
well today was good news bad news day..
more bad than anything.. atleast it drives it how i look at it 🙂
BAD
- fourth cylinder only kicks in with the pedal straight to the floor.
-jets too big - drinky drinky.. especially if u need floor it to get all cylinders working
-fuel lines had NO hose clamps on them (thank you volkspower:vader)
-leads look like theyve never been changed before (as above:vader)
-semi-auto solenoid looks like it is gonna fall from its mounts( im sure if the mob i used to take it to to get serviced gave a fuck this list would be shorted.. god knows i handed over enough dosh. and dean if your reading, where the fuck are my runningboard trim clips? still waiting for you to call)
-mate has his girlfriends brother's 20th b'day tonight
GOOD
- should be able to order all the parts thru work, and get it done tomorrow night MAYBE!
Tagedeezee Heezy
another addition to good list..
when its revving off at 8k, and all 4 cylinders r there.. it apparently flys.. just real rich 😀
anyone know who best to tune it in melb?
Tagedeezee Heezy
I reckon you should take little Adolf to Tucker Road Motors on North Road from now on, about 20 mins drive from you.
Dale is awesome, and has worked miracles with my 'lil PBB, gets the job done properly and not heaps of $$ like some are....
I'm sure he's had to learn a thing or two about semi-autos since I've been taking mine to him, but he knows his stuff! 👍
Have a word to Eden, he knows a guy who can tune anything and everything, I think he's getting his carbies done there.
cool as laura!..
the alt stand couldnt go on, cos my genny stand has the fuel filler(normal) breather hose (normal), and then a solud hose into the sump. the alt stand didnt have this third hose.. and i don't think plugging the sump really works :/
does PBB have the 3rd hose?
Tagedeezee Heezy
geez man, sounds like you've been having fun.... good luck with it all..
and I STILL have to give you those horns!
...and Robert's ya father's brother...
Hmmm.... not sure if mine has that, will run outside in the rain and have a look, I'm curious now!
*runs off*
*runs back slightly damp*
I don't think mine has that third thingy you're talking about....??
hahaha yeah chris! i remembered right after i left yours the other day!
looks like u might b in the market for an altenator? i know a guy who wants to get rid of his..cos he can't use it🙂
