Hey Stoppa

I miss being a Westy, its great over there! The one thing that the cops love to do to any car in W.A that is either neglected or modified in ANY way is give it the canary (yellow sticker)! They may pick on you a little to be honest, but if you have the right paper work in the car you should be fine. There aren't many if any Volksrods in W.A due to the strict licensing and engineering regulations. The 'yes no man' in charge is a total dickhead, ask any of the Hot Rodders in W.A, most have had major problems getting things passed. They cant wait to see the back of him. A friend of ours (another VW lover) worked at the Kelmscott licensing centre for many years until he had enough of the bullshit and stress of changing rules and regs.

ill just play the game,i built a hotrod here back in 1999 iknow exactly what you mean.

it's a great feeling knowing that a man with experience building rods, who apparently prepared a volksrod in 3 weekends is now here in my state... now to commence stalking!

seriously though, it's good to have someone with experience around town, it might be just what's needed to put some life into the vw scene and rodding in general, i hope you'll be cruising that volksrod around perth.

if you're here for the long haul, perhaps you can take on chopping some bugs? there will be demand once people see your squashed beetle rolling about.

i have the roofless one that was at the rod show last year.(see AV) .still wanting to get some lights etc to see if they'll allow it.....otherwise it'll just be a trailer queen :(

hey stoppa, i have a rat67 back in adelaide, who did you use for transport, toll? and how much was that?
she could be way too low/troublesome for truck transport
any clues?
