So what was the story with the weekend Andrew...
Cat minding fell through. 🙁 🙁 Finally got on to her last night through MSN Messenger 🙁 Four days without humans - I don't think I'd have a house to return to.
I think I needed to have been less dithering about Tuesday last week.
Andrew
Dave, I don't think the car suits you, so I think you should sell it to me !!!!:thumb:thumb

Shit i am just starting to enjoy it... after 15 years.
The heater is now fixed n running even better after doing an exhaust gas fuel air mixxture ratio
the main jet was opened up to 130 and the air idle to 60
done 300 miles now and it running fine.
Fantastic job it's a credit to you
Nice colour:thumb
In about 1974, I bought a beetle for parts this colour that had had a fire in the eng compt. We were living in my parents house at the time while they were living O/S & they had a very large crawl space underneath. So I went rummaging around & found the stub axles, trannny & a near virginal bonnet!! Bonus!
You still havet he bits n pieces ???
Give the bonnet a polish it will proberly come up like new

Still catching up after being away....
Very very nice dave! I'd only take 0.05 of a point off because its not a type2!
So what's next in the pipeline - everything we've seen seems to be done?
RobK
Another Type 3 for the young bloke
If you can find me a nipple blinker Twin Cab split i would love that.
Of course it would be STOCK.
I think a nice set of whitewalls would look hot on ur car Dave, you'd be suprised at the cosmetic difference its made to my car, suits our colour the best too :thumb
Bewdiful!
No dont like white walls or dirty walls is what you call them after afew days.
The bloody things get dirty too quick n some times get loose n fall off.
No there not for me...
maybe a flash down the side or a full Euro look with the wholes side panel in light grey, to match my interior.
Just wait till the Judosn gets fitted
I clean mine with Jif and look new everytime!
and they yellow after a while as well.
gotta go for a drive
Mine are still white, after being a daily driver in all this $hit weather they are still white Dave
:beer
Well thats good to hear i hope they stay that way for a long time
they must be making them from different material now days cause the old ones were bloody hard to keep clean.
Atlas ones are made out of white rubber. I thought they were always made of white rubber.
They fit so flush with the tyre people think they are real whitewalls!
Im really happy with them:kiss
Finally found the correct Aussie seals for the door switches as well.
nice.......
It was nice to have a good drive along the freeway last Sunday
That's a really nice volkswagen Dave. :thumb
.
Thanks...
