And it cost me about $10 for the bush.

thanks daimo,hellbugged wrote:maybe when i was younger i got shitty at it, but never to the point where i want to get rid of it............ the fact i still have all of my beetles is probably testimony to that.........these days any issues become "it's just what needs to be done"
hopless seller, sucker for accumulating them 🙄

hahaha cant say iv heard that one before 😂 but i can see how it might be easier, i once bought a beetle that had been sitting for years and all the motor bolts had seized up. i decided to pull the body off and then i had easy access to all the bolts with a 45inch breaker-bar 😂😂eraser wrote:mmmmm i still remember last year i had spent hours trying to get to the 4 bolts that hold the motor in. i was black with dirt and grease from head to toe. My VW manual didnt really explain how i take the torque converter off the engine flexplate, so i just gave her a pull she came out but i couldn't pull the motor far enough out to clear the gearbox. After another 2 hours of trying i just got the angle grinder out and took the back valance off, because it was "easy" to find replacements... only now i cant find replacements 😉 (that was about a year ago now)
😉
but i still love her :P

hmmmm die nut, now thats a great idea steve, i usually just throw em all on the wire wheel...... thanks for that 😎1303Steve wrote:Hihellbugged wrote:Steve, the platers Luke used for bits off his dual cab did the clean up/prep of everything as well...........worked out dirt cheap and much easier than beautifying old bolts, brakets etc himself
I ran a die nut over all the bolt threads, just getting the mudguard bolts, chassis bolts and U brackets, door locks and strikers, 944 spring plates and struts done.
I used to get it done by De Haviland at Milperra, going to try one that was recommended to me at Silverwater.
4WDs are very useful I just towed a firewood splitter home this morning and Ive already done a years worth of wood for the fire.

I slice my leg friggen deeply, resulting in a run to the doctors for a fix and a friggen tetanus shot...
The bleeding stopped so they didn't use stitches... but its still gonna leave a scar... you know... only about 8cm frigge long!
GAHH!! I HATE YOU!
and love you at the same time...
but more importantly at the moment...
I F-N HATE YOU!
