what a cool courier i had today...
today we had some big parcels arrrive, and they had to be put downstairs...
well, when done, the courier starts to chat with me about my vws....He's telling me all about his friends on way back when....and saying how it got
them everywhere. He also spoke of hitlers revenge (I set him str8 4 ya dave (kombi 57)) I also gave him a bit of history also...
he said he loved i, he never knew how they came about...and he had loved them so much...and was wondering story of mine....
I told him edith was becoming the daily driver, and Elton the trailer queen. He then asked a bit more about do we get many packages delivered, cause
he'd like to check the progress of the cars...
I told him he could stop buy anytime to see them....just knock on door...
I said things r going slow, but hopefully in a month Edith will be finished, and Elton started...
He said great.
I also listed a couple of sites for him to check out....this one included....
So hopefully, we will have another joining our forum, and renewing his love of the VW.
cheers
Donna
BTW, he was in semi retirement, so he was SOOOOOO not hitting on or flirting with me.

ok, went shopping for soem more bits and pieces for edith yesterday...
got some PINK mouldable carpet....yes pink
I went looking for green, and they didnt have much...was telling the ladies about edith...and then she showed us some thing a little different...
they had pale purple, brite blue, or pale pink....really cheap too...i got 2meters by 2.7 for $49...only because it was an offcut...
I have enuf for whole interior...and we're checking to c if we have enuf boot too...
i also have scratch guards for her back fenders, and under the door handles...
i have also scored a lock for the engine bay....
so edith is coming along slowly, but at least we are making some progress....
and yes, she is rather 'girly'...

WOOOHOOOOO!!!!!
After much complaining about lack of pressies (and threatening to cancel every one elses pressies for this year) Big A has stated that he will pay for
ALL the costs to get edith to the road, as late pressie from him and the kids (I think he really wants the welder for fathers day)
so...working on list of all things to be done...doing little things this week...mechanics hopefully next, then rego when their done!
so, with a bit of effort, alot of luck, and the vw gods on my side....edith will be on the road within 2 to 3 weeks...yeahhhhhhhh
im so exicted.....i can hardly wait....
so...list goes something like this...
replace seat belts
finish wiring stereo
finish off carpets
tar under guards
tar under car too i think...
finish last bits of painting (for pics
polish off car...(except roof which will get redone after rego)
put running boards back on
clean wheels
take to mechanics
new brakes all round
tune up
rwc
straight to main roads then...
then...shes ready to rumble!!!!
funny thing is, my mum said when shhes wondering what ive bin doing all week, shes sure her friends will tell her...edith cant be missed (even byt he
blind im sure) and while they live all over town, they go to same church/gatherings, ad she sure to hear it all there....hehe....and she's right!
and u can bet the following about edith too:
1. she will be much loved by my family
2. i wont stop smiling
3. people will prolly laugh & smile when they see her, and honestly, whether they laugh or smile...its gotta make the world a better place hey!
so...will be doing lots of update soon..

u bet stef...i think thats why this one is finally getting pushed...elton ultimately will become adrians....
and i think hes eager to be work on it...lol...he gets a welder for fatehrs day....and im a bit worried every thing will get welded...even peices that
were ok to begin with...lol
i thought elton would take heaps, because of the need to collect so many bits and pieces...but donor has almost everything eltons needed...so now its
mostly just a matter of putting the jigsaw back together...bit from here bit from there...lol...
but expect me to hassel if the painting goes all wrong...lol

Ms Cab...Elton will be fine...trust me...i have alot of 'manly' things going on him...at one point i changed my mind on colors (matt black with
copper metals in the flames) but changed my mind...(thats going to be on another project)...so elton is back to the blue and silver....also means he
can have alot of bling bling and some very kewl peices i've found along the way (neone seen a nice set of skeleton hands hanging from the
doors.....like the person got dragged ...)
for edith...a friend is thinking of making me a rather nice ariel accessory, unique to me...if possible.....its a butterfly made from wire, with beads
and jewels threaded onto it.....so it sparkles really pretty....and it clips on and off at night ....how nice is he!...but he's not sure it can be
done....so we will just have to see...lol
hipi, i grabbed it from a small speciality shop round the corner...its supposed to be about $40/meter, but they had remanants which turned out to be
the perfect size to do floor and boot for $50.00 (2.5 x 2.5)...now get this...i saw the pink, blue and green at bunnings....not sure if they had the
purple (and i searched after i saw they had blue, but ur local one may have it) If u cant find it, and u'd really like it....let me know...and i
will ask local store more details about it, such as brand etc...
steff...u sent the pic baby...and i have it in my flames collection...was so kewl...thanks for helping with it...and trust me...when i get that
far...ur gonna get ALOT of u2u's...and i mean ALOT!....lol....
cheers, and thanks for comments.....I've had two offers by people to purchase her for their kids....(teenage girls)...but i wont let her go....if
Ally is lucky enough, she'll get edith....if shes REALLY lucky, I might get her, her own buggy....

ok, i feel like its taken forever...btu guess what...
All that I can do for edith is done.
Which means she's now to go to mechanics, and then shes on the road.
Im so excited I could cry.
She needs brakes to be done...well adjusted...and i wont do that. Plus I want them to give her full tune up, and new filter...she has the oil bath
from what i can tell, and its crap. really affecting her performance.
As we go along, she will change. but mostly it is done.
Things on the list are:
She has a 009 dizzy, and depending on whether we notice flat point or not, that may also be replaced.
New pics and tattoos (she copped a few extra scratches in the move)
Alot of clear coats when it is finally sunny again (we've had weeks of rain, so she's missed out on that..and yes, it will be done remotely
properly.)
Sort out the bumper situation...she has ones that are ok for now, but really have something else in mind for her.
Oh and yes, of course...get her lots of shiny shit along the way....she loves bling bling (as most girls do)
Elton, who has waited quietly while i fixed up edith, and now biting at the bit for his restoration, but he's been told it will come with time, and
take even longer than ediths...like about 3 years long. Not so much because of parts, but prep work.
Edith was rough, eltons will be complete opposite. And every part and thing doen on elton will be photographed...
And yes, the purists will cringe, but then, they just have to remember, its a super, and not worth worrying about (although I love them)
but back to the good news...
EDITHS DONE!!!!!!
And I've been told mechanic (on Friday) should have her in by next week....and completed by end of second...woohoooooo!! I'll let u all know how i
go with things...
I think I really am gonna cry!!

arghhhhh!!
call from mechanic...car is good body wise (so it should be, thats all Big A & I could do damn it...if i could do mroe than basic mechanics, that'd
be good too)
But list for work to be done:
New bonnet cable needed (old one died over there..doh!!) so will be replaced with an 'under dash one'
Pedal cluster is 'sticking' in a big way, so will be pulled out, freed up and replaced.
front brakes to be done
back brakes to be done
front wheel bearing to be done
exhaust is leaking at heater boxes...to be done
And driver door handle needs to be fixed as well.
Also, he mentioned after the rwc is done, to bring in back so they can do the front gearbox mount....apparently is has the wrong type. (Like what
the?) He said some one has replaced it, but replaced it with a thin metal one. This si not necessary for the RWC. But it needs to be addressed.
And bonus time:
Someone put an paper core air filter on the car. This was to replace the old oil bath filter. But, then someone (prolly a different person) went and
put oil into the new filter, which meant that the oil was soaked up into the paper filter, and this meant nothng else could get through. he said it
is likely the person who put it in is not same person who put oil in it. I'm thinking ...what the??
This unit is to be replaced too.
so yeah...i'm now back to praying i get my car back this month...please vw gods let me get my car back soon.
best part was: watching ppl staring at the car when we drove past in the tow truck. I dont think i've seen so many drivers smile/laugh in a long
time. And I know Edith made the towie laugh all the way. he said she made his weekend. he also asked if he's driving past, and Edith is out, can
he stop and show his kid. pmsl.
other comments were like this:
How many national parks did u go down?
What color goes down for this one???
Did u see that car nearly hit us...they were too busy checking ur car out.
That car liked urs...almost ran up its butt three times.
Here's my number, keep it on u...call when u see an accident...because i'm sure u'll be causing a few.
and NO-ONE is ever gonna steal that car.
So there u have it.
She should hopefully have most of the work done by (at worst) next week. They will push to have it done tomorrow, but cant be sure.
Sigh
So we will see. I cant wait till she's back. I'm praying its tomorrow.
