Thanks ian
roses number 0427 550203

yes she told me she needed a "Stud" !

I'm closer to Hervey bay than you guys, but it is still an hr or 2 north. What sort of bolt will do? Is it a rocker post stud? Bushed is closer but still miles away and not sure if he's online.

Text sent

great work

Sorry you had such a dull night last night Ian........just spoke to Rose and put her in touch with Bushed, he is currently in M'borough and has contacts there for the studs.

Should all work out ok.

So give us the low down, what happened ?

Rose said thanks for all the Help .she has just picked up the studs and she will get up nice and early tommorrow to put it back together
once again thanks for the help
Ian & rose

I think maybe she needs to have a serious talk to her machanic when she gets back !!!
Hope it all worked out well,
Noddy

Well here I am home at last, what an adventure I have had.

A lovely motor mechanic from Marybourough QLD actually drove up to Hervey Bay to meet me to give me two studs.

A big thanks to all the vee dub duds who helped me get 2 studs. lol.

It was very very hot up there to hot.

Put my bug back to gether and it got me 150klms before somthing let go big time in the engine.
About 17klms out of Kilkevan in QLD. Lucky im in the nrma premium care I did this before I left maybe I put the mocker on my self as I have driven the bug everywhere.

While the engine is out might be a chance to make it go faster lol.

It's a pitty I didn't get to drive it home.

It must have just had enough and wanted a lift home on a carrier poor bug.

Don't have many pics. but will post some soon as I have been away for a week and have to clean the house as Ian has gone off to the summernats. One good thing at least I get some peace for a while

Thank god for mums they come in handy as I was travelling with her on the way home. So I had to unload all my crap into her van and car she couldn't believe how much I could fit in my bug. She said no wonder it stopped

Thanks heaps guys hope you had a great new year I did in Hervey Bay by the pool and spa drinking my champers.

I might go for a drive in Ian's bug tomorrow if he lets me

Sounds like he should hide the keys, glad it all worked out well, let us all know what the problem was. I reckon you blew it when you started braging about getting up there with only a blown brake light bulb. And a happy new year to ya

ooaaah, very sorry to hear that Rose,
I actually have a car carry trlr
and live on the K'kvan turn off. .....NRMA & RACQ plus is good though.
was it Jeff or Jason who drove out?

great dubber mechanics and do gas conversions to vw's !!! etc

Hi
It was Jeff he said he would look after if for me until the car carrier came to pick it up sometime this week. It will be fixable ready to go again out on the road. I think I will retire it from drag racing in the future and just use Ian's vee dub instead to drag race lol.
I just want it home again.

He said he's selling the business, nice little town. I was born in Gympie not far from there.

My brother in-law just saw it on a car carrier at Tintenbar Range it looked liked the truck driver was pulled over to have his sleep.

So it looks like he will definitely be home tomorrow yippee I was starting to get withdrawals.

Don't forget to give your car a big hug when it finally arrives

Still not home. It's going to be Fri morning now. man it seems to be taking forever.
