At klubfest, i met alot of great champions, and had great discussions, and talks, getting to know some members here.
i worry about trying to name em, cause if i miss one, i will get the crap, but to name a few,
thanks A. Westwood for letting me sit in ur buggy for a sec, for a yr and a bit, i have only been looking, and drooling, neva sat in one, but today, was great. Luv the stance.
and a VERY special!!! thanks to koolkarmakombi for his very generous donation of engine parts. You are a champion mate, honestly. Theres heaps of stuff u gave me, pretty much a complete longblock (we got it turning, Brenton (VWboy) and I, till we heard grinding noises, then we stopped it lol :o) and almost a complete short block 😀
Thanks for waiting around, and thanks for the parts. Its great, i got some more motivation to work on it now 😀 Still thinking of whether to quickly fix the baja into a mediocre bug and make it basis, simple, and registered as a first car, or by a first runnning bug, and make the baja up fully. I don't wanna go nuts on the baja, just something i can play with. I can't be bothered with the baja wes approach 😉 lol. Not rich enough.
but anyways, thanks. Oh, and special thanks to Brenton (VWboy) for the ride home, and the inspection of the bits, + the crash course on the gear, what goes where. etc etc. BTW, have developed a hate for the design of the VW heads 😀 lol (Dam cracks!, was educated on em)
Guys, thanks for the favours, if u need anything in return, any help, any parts, gimme a buzz. and Todd, if any of those engine parts u gave me, if there are any 2nd thoughts, just gimme a holla and will chuck em back. was a hell of a donation, and i greatly appreciate it. 😀

now buy that idiot book and you will be right.
I reckon you should buy a good going bug like staggers' to get liscence and learn to drive, get the chance to build a nice baja then.
no probs with the gear :thumb
