what part have you bought for your car that turns you on - ie something you will...
countrybuggy - March 2nd, 2005 at 01:56 AM

of course it cant be one thing can it.................it is hard to pinpoint one thing but if it were down to that, besides your car, what part are you most proud of. you may need to think about it overnight!!
to me i would say my genuine hazet tool kit.............even though it has only 2 original tools. i guess i was lucky at the time..........it will stay with my car forever........as i have said previously it is the untouchable and will never be SOLD only inherited by a lucky museum.........what is your untouchable???????????

i think my 1600 tp, it was the most expensive part of my bug, and the first part i dresed up. if i do sell the bug i have, the motor will either go in the next or become a project of it's own;)

hold onto it = it gives us inspiration
no matter what part, its your heart and soul

The POBJOY engine.

I found a non genuine motometer oval dash panel with a rough as guts motometer clock at the Nationals when it was at Parklea. I think it cost me all I had ($32 and a mars bar).

Then at the Flat Four shoot out I found a real motometer dash panel with everything except the clock.

I had the panel rechromed and the gauges restored and it's beautiful.

I couldn't resist and I've put it back in my car. That means I don't have a tacho, only a shift light but I couldn't let such a rare accessory sit in a box.

Hey Squiz I like the signature pic. Let me count 1, 2, 3... I'm 6th! Who do I pay to move up the line?:thumb

The part that I'd like to keep would be the throttle linkage that I made for the Delortos. Aluminium, Stainless and rollerbearings all handmade with a hacksaw, file, drill and taps. 15 hours labor.

My Helphos.
As its portable its easy to swap from one vehicle to the next and as I havent seen another in the same colour over here I will be keeping it,

Cheers

Banjo Steering Wheel with St Christopher.......too cool.


hellbugged - March 2nd, 2005 at 10:34 PM

my favourite---every single berg bit i've bought--from " the legend" t-shirt , which i have replaced 3 times as each one wore out over 8 years to the gland nut that i rarely see. especially the race shifter its so yummy, the springless clutch plate is so cool as it bites into operation each change and the breather box has been on several motors since the demise of my 2180 (non berg) i will never part with my all berg 1776 which arrives next week, hell i'm gonna ask the missus if she is up for a threesome as soon as it arrives in the spare bed room!!! i must say after owning a 15 second swing axle beetle on early drums, the arrival of disc brakes was rather nice, i could go on and on beetles are my favorite, ive got 4 because i couldn't bare to sell any of them........... hang on i dont think i have ever sold any vw part


Boozer - March 2nd, 2005 at 11:08 PM

the dead cane toad under my back seat.:duh
