How often will it need watering?


vwtyp2 - July 14th, 2009 at 10:27 PM

I reckon you should incorporate the tail fins of the Wolesley? behind it on the pile somehow.
that would be kewl:lol:


vw54 - July 15th, 2009 at 06:56 AM

hey thats a good looking project

dont forget to water the moss may be better hanging outside the garage in the cool shade


greedy53 - July 16th, 2009 at 07:42 PM

Great idea Dan! Maybe incorporated into the roof just above the engine lid, kind of like a pro street rear wing. It would solve the problem of where to mount the tail lights!

The place is in SA about 90k`s from Adelaide, probably 50-100 acres of cars from Model T`s to late 70`s stuff. Most VW stuff gone now, theres quite a few people know about the place, it`s awesome to just walk around there!

Oh yeah, I was going to hang the window outside but I really do want to use it so don`t need any extra rust issues. That moss would have taken a few years to grow hey?!!


Wannavee - July 19th, 2009 at 06:46 PM

At least i know where to go locally for a roof chop on my next beetle!
Looking good chook

Bugger that Dan - save the Wolesley! Bring it home and cover it. Someone there would like it. OG paint, lowered, thin whites on black rims - cool.


57 Chook Shed - July 28th, 2009 at 09:48 PM

Ahh dont worry about it, there`s plenty of Fins to go around!


57 Chook Shed - July 28th, 2009 at 09:51 PM
