Which of your rides gives you the biggest buzz.
The Bug or the Holden ......
too be totally honest before Rosie came along the commodore was my pride and joy but these days I much prefer to drive rosie, actually she handles roundabouts better as well 🙂

Today I installed a Ipod base to the ashtray, it works really well, saw this on another thread here. I screwed the base to the ashtray and the ipod touch fits snugly in front of the head unit

I bought the base and cable (which ended up being defective) off ebay for $3 so beggars cant be choosy lol

I have been putting off redoing the interior because I have been in two minds on the colour. I originally was going to stick with red however I have always liked blue. I will probably go with a good quality vinyl although leather isnt out of the question.

Don't worry too much of the style but which colour do you like?

Well red would match your number plate and your car is called Rosie. You might have to renamed her gluey if you install a blue interior.😂

Have you considered grey???

Also, be careful using armourall the drying agent in the product can be really destructive to plastics and some rubbers. You dont want to prematurely age those rubbers. Just my 2 cents, i now use a turtle tyre shine spray from big w its more oil based.

My preference would also be the blue, but it has to be you that is happy with it. You don't want to get in every day and say, I should have went the other colour. Get what you want !

I thought rebuilding a VW would be cheap - Shit I was wrong, just don't let the wife know !!!!

Today Rosie passed rego inspection in flying colours so next is the new upholstery hopefully in July and also looking to get a sidewinder exhaust thanks to Mick who has suggested it would sound much better and if it sounds better it has to go faster right??????

here is the style of seating I have decided on and the seats are identical to mine





And the colour will be blue

Looking sweet Paul 👍

Sounds like you've made up your mind - my vote is for blue too. 😀
