BoogieRider - May 2nd, 2015 at 02:08 PM

just like to say hi and thank the owners of this site for providing a great source of info and fellowship around the vw community
Now living in Sydney and building a 74 super in the Adelaide hills with my son does have its distance challenges, but its coming along fine , parts are available east coast and i usually cross the border every couple of months to kick back and build the bug . Cheers

Cool ride Boogie Rider. Welcome
We're doing a 74 Super choptop.
Love the no bumpers look. Shows of the sexy curve of the front pan.

Very nice look :tu:

Cool curves!! :lol:

Thanks guys this is my third dub in 30 years but doing it up with my son makes it more special, old school and new mixed together, as both of us are mechanics we have some cool ideas , and myself living in Sydney its easy to source parts and courier them over we are trying our best to use old school parts only when it comes to mechanical we use more modern alternatives, ie ignition ,wiring , carbs , lighting etc ,
Thanks Terry , my ex wife had a hair dressing salon in Peterborough , we are in Mt Barker ,
Cheers Lee

wombatventures - June 9th, 2015 at 06:55 PM

All good BoogieRider.
What interior bits have you got?
Mostly at the moment I'm after a trans.

So how long you staying in Whyalla for?? Better look us up when you get here so we can check out your car. There are some nice cars here.


Dicko - June 19th, 2015 at 12:11 PM

Nbturbo and Dicko, sounds like we need to work on a mid northern SA catch up. Maybe a run up to Quorn or something.


Dicko - June 20th, 2015 at 06:28 PM

Yep for sure! Post July would be best for me, would like to come n check the Sunbug also!


BoogieRider - June 24th, 2015 at 05:05 PM

Just got back from SA , I've never seen snow but my god I could feel it there , think I've got pneumonia lol


nbturbo - June 24th, 2015 at 06:12 PM

My son and Daughter in law were here last week from Sydney and went home Sunday-pissed down with rain and freezing the whole time here- tells me today he's getting around there in shorts and T shirt-told him to stop pissing me off.Its bitterly cold and raining here still.


wombatventures - June 25th, 2015 at 08:38 AM

Saw some sun here yesterday, lasted 5 minutes. Our main streets like an icy wind tunnel at the moment. No snow yet but a couple of frosts. Not as bad as last year though.


wombatventures - July 7th, 2015 at 06:21 PM

Hey nbturbo, anything much coming up in Whyalla car wise? We need a day or weeked out in the Notch!


nbturbo - July 7th, 2015 at 07:34 PM

Will do some checking and get back to you.


nbturbo - July 15th, 2015 at 10:31 AM

There will be another car show at the beach for Fathers Day run by the Drag Club and the Muscle Car run will call in here for a Saturday overnight show. They will be at the Drag Strip again with many doing runs down the strip. It's some time in November


wombatventures - July 15th, 2015 at 11:10 PM

They usually come through here most years as well. Cool to see.
I'm putting together an idea for a BBQ/Picnic VW get together at Morgan for the 13th of September. Keep an eye out in Events 2015 for more details.


BoogieRider - July 16th, 2015 at 06:26 PM

Ok after a few hair pulling weeks , Kim as we called her, is up and running , so how's that bbq idea coming along??


wombatventures - July 17th, 2015 at 05:51 PM

Its all go. More Details soon.
There's nothing else on that weekend in Morgan and the locals are keen to see it happen.
Set in concrete to be on.
BYO BBQ or picnic or get some grub from the local places. Some good options in town.
I might take my big BBQ along incase anyway.
