Hello everyone my names Nigel and i live down in Wollongong Nowadays.
I have been thinking about getting a Beetle and i thought
getting onto a Forum would be a good place to start learning more about them etc.
I saw one i liked but unfortunately i just found out he has sold it :mad:
I know Reuben from when i used to live in Darwin and loved seeing that thing of his as he was building it up.
Anyhow thats about it for now.

Living in the gong you'll have to check out Wayne and Rods cars (amoungst others) - that'll get you motivated:yes:

Cheers mate i will have to pay them a visit for a look and a chat.
Handy having them nearby :tu:

I have actually always liked Beetles just havent owned one.
When i was a Mechanic in the Big blue supermarket my flatmate
and i Turbod his Baja Bug over two nights at work for under $100.
We used a T2 off a Pulsar Exa Turbo and used a Drawthrough setup with a sidedraft SU carby off a Range rover V8.
We just locked the Dizzy in with no advance and most of the $100 went to Enzed for making up the Oil supply and return lines.
Went well considering the backyard 2 night approach
