Today had a nice beetle in with no access holes for plug changes and IDA's........let the picture's tell 馃檪

I think #1 plug took 1/2 an hour just to get the stuck socket off the plug once the sparkplug was installed. You gotta love that 馃憤

Nice lookin bug!

Were you charging by the hour to change plugs? That could have been an expensive service.

matberry 路

Lets just say he's a very happy customer.

And yes, a VERY nice bug. Claimed 208 flywheel hp Pat Downs engine. Sweet as.

The guy is a volksie nut and has a few. 馃檪

Hawian style up here on the coast, Marcus, it's his 'saftey' boots that we wonder about !!!

Safety thongs for mechanical repairs.

Safety crocs for welding.

I recently decided I would dip safety glasses while angle grinding - kept getting bits burned onto my eyeball. I know wear ski goggles!!

Yep, the car is a left hooker, owner pulled it from the market after driving it again 馃檪 . Brought it here for (amongst other things) a ride height raise for the new prospective owner.....left same height as it came 馃檪 馃檪 馃檪

Hey mate, been a busy chrissy, too much rain for a holiday so was busy doing a shed upgrade......still plenty to do. Be a while before the a/c is hooked up for the engine building room. 馃憤

reub 路

Wasn't that on carsales for something like $29k??

Looked sweet, but a friggin lot of money for a left hooker...

matberry 路

I don't know how much for, but it was for sale. A very nice car with zero rust of any kind, not ever even any rust repairs or prior accident damage with 200 f/w hp and extremely nice interior.......what IS it worth Reub's???? (said in the nicest possible way 馃檪 )

reub 路

As much as someone will pay I'm guessing 馃憤

hitman_sam 路

this is why i have removable inspection plates in my wheel wells

matberry 路

Yes but some people don't like cutting thier car....and some cars I believe that to be the right decision.

My own....hell, I cut the whole back off !!!
