A speaker system i Installed

( The 6 inch woofers: )

the tweeters mounted in the door cards:

Am proud to fit this all myself. Its all been new to me, had no help cept from u guys. Thanx all for ur comments and wisdom, the results are showing.

where is it pics in the daylight please:blah

Not the clearest sound from an original 1969 AM radio. Theres only one good AM station i like, the only half decent one in bris SE-QLD area, (SWITCH 1197 AM)

Cept sometimes its just crap.

U gots till wait till tommorrow morning. soz, was just the results of a hard days work. (work ended late in the day, after a road trip to surfers for easter)

Like jesus resurrecting, so to is this beetle, into a beasty little baja.

Lookin good Chris!
-Staggers.

daytime pics to come, hopefully soon, need to take photos and recharge camera anyway for a photoshoot of a friend i'm doing, might as well kill 2 birds with one stone...

Hope no ones a fan of birds...

:cussing I like birds Chris you gunna make valla in that? ? ?

Lol.

I don't know ay.
Might make it. Question is, will I have my Ps by then. Money is tricklin in so dam slow, its not good. only getting 4 yrs this week ($36), is pissing me off so bad. especially with uni costs. I cannot be supported on that wage. Parents pushing for $40 bord, paying big bro off $10 a week for like 8 months, $20 for train travel etc.


IT would be nice. IT needs a respray, engine, manual conversion, and walla. A few other nick naks too, but they being sorted out, possibly, with the help of parts swapping/dealing. Got equipment for respray too. Might be getting a IRS box by swapping parts too. Will need to go somewhere pro to get a clutch tube fitted, requested quotes for that. Still bit of work.

heres the baja:

.

How many different colours of interior bits can u see

Almost 3 different bugs had donated ther parts to that. Far from finished yet.

rust.

I was attacking it with a wire brush, learnt a wire wheel is much betta, but cause i scrapped some metal naked, i thought it would be wise to temporarily put some primer ova it.

rust on other side (passenger side)

2 bugs i have had, inc. this one, both have the same rust issue. in the A pillar.

I got close up pics of the rust too.

Those big wholes would need some welded plate ova it. I got 2 spare panels for the lower door area to weld on. But i have no idea how to weld, and haven't got the equipment. Any locals around here willing to do a $$$ or parts deal of rust repair just there. Am willing to supply materials or wateva.

Rather it done properly by someone who knows how, cause i'm not gonna touch it till i get some good practice, and the materials, like a welder.

See my BIG 5 stud tyres on the trailer. They gonna go nicely on the 69, once i get some adapter plates. Illegal, yeah. But ah well. U think they look chunky, wait till i bring out the GIANT ones inside the trailer. They ARE HUGE.

those parts i got advertised, am willing to swap them for the rust repair. Including the parts i already discussed with some people who have been interested.

There needs to be sheet metal to be tacked on too, ova those rust holes cause the spare panels i got don't wrap around that far.
