Listen you two, this is a build thread about my car. Not for you two wallies to catch up and organise coming over to annoy me ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Now let me get back to working on my car. Actually that would be a good idea ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

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

Stop dragging him away from the car, Paul๐Ÿ˜‚

Get onto the running boards, Kev........not the keyboard!๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Cheers, Greg

P.S. I must get down the hill, and check it out [ I'll bring a shifter and hammer ]. Bet it will look 'a bit different' to last time.๐Ÿ˜Ž
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

Dropped into Kevs yesterday, the car is looking so sweet and the engine is a real nice sounding machine (well no muffler so was nice and loud) I would have swapped motors with my Rosie but Kev didn't leave me alone lol. although I did walk out with a chrome dipstick ๐Ÿ™‚ so there's a start. Thanks Kev

Does Kev know that you walked out with the chrome dip-stick, Paul?๐Ÿ˜‚

That [chrome dip-stick] will give Rosie's engine a much HIGHER IMPRESSION RATIO.๐Ÿ‘

Fitted the guards and beading today, and that beading is an absolute pain in the arse to fit and I'm still not happy with it.

I would have like to have kept this car for an unvailing, but I guess it is to way late for that now and there may be others around Australia that might want to see it. Anyway, here are some photos now.

After seeing the car today and then looking at the start of this thread it is amazing to see the transformation you have done. The car looks so sweet and once all the trimmings are added it is going to really turn some heads.
