G'day ray,

Looking good, are you doing a rhd conversion while it's in bits.

Cheers, Ian.


Volksaddict - May 22nd, 2006 at 09:14 PM

Ian
Post some pics of the cape when your next up there please!
Not planning to convert it ..no changes that cant be reversed...mind you i have just recd the birth certificate and the original color is L345 Light grey..bit industrial ..Ive completed the pan and converted to dual mastercylinder, discs, lowered spindles, and set that all up with a set of Flat4 Sprintstars
love the Barny steering wheel...

Yeah, no worries, will be out the Cape 2nd w/end July for the first of 4 w/ends in 2 months that we have booked (only 10 vehicles at a time allowed in).

The Frid sounds like it's gonna be something else!!!
Cheers, Ian.

I can't believe that you got a Frid, they are the best. I adore them but can't afford them.:P


Volksaddict - May 23rd, 2006 at 05:07 PM

Eh thanks to all for your encouragement ..my brother Redkg (the red/silverKG with radars at the Nationals) is painting it the week leading up to Valla ..so will probably have a shed tour for those interested..its only 20km north valla

65busser - May 27th, 2006 at 09:23 AM

Maybe it left the factory light grey to be painted whatever corporate colour scheme it ended up?
So..what colour you doing it?
Love it. Good to see you doing such a thorough job of it.


Doug Sweetman - May 27th, 2006 at 01:13 PM

It would look schweet as with some retro signwriting on it....... just a suggestion.....

And yes, Frids are the bet frankenstein model VW ever made :)


Volksaddict - July 23rd, 2006 at 10:31 PM
