Very nice ride. The blue is hot.
I haven't had the VW wave yet. In my other car, 1974 Merc, I've just had spastic people. I've only seen 4 people with exactially the same car and
they have all gone absolutely crazy, hanging out the window and the like.
I haven't got anything from them yet but I've made a couple of enquiries for parts and Volkspower seems to be a good one in Melbourne. http://www.volkspower.com.au you can fill in a enquiry form and both times I have
they have got back to me very quickly.
Will look out for you driving around SEsubs. |

Thanx!! I love my Pretty Blue Bug.... just about to go outside and snap an engine pic (even though it's standard, it's clean!)
I recently took my Beetle to Volkscare in Boronia, and they were awesome!! Very reasonable pricing, ultra friendly too and they knew what they were on
about.  |

I've been to Mr Bug in DANDENONG !!!! ages ago to get the Altezza lights for my new bug and they were the cheapest by far ! I am not sure if they are
around anymore ? I heard something somewhere that they may have moved or changed their name or something ???????

they are still trading but i think they might be under BME now but they still answer the phone mr bug when i call. wonder if they still have the same
staff. my old man still uses them for some of his parts

Well... I have done my first bit of work to my Bug today!
The windscreen wipers had a fair bit of surface rust on them..... so I sanded it all off, etch primed, and they'll get a nice coat of Star Silver
Metallic. I'd love to know why it is that one wiper always comes off so nice and friendly-like, yet the other one is a right pain in the @#$$! |

Thanx for your comment Ellabella! :kiss One of my friends in NSW has a Beetle, and it's painted a darker blue than mine, but the wheel guards are
blue/white marbled.... it looks awesome! I think that a wicked pink with white guards would look awesome all shiny!

Thanx Damien!
I thought of the storage box for that very reason: wasted space otherwise. So I get to keep a street directory, jumper leads, etc in it. It's
actually quite a decent size, and solid as! And I just HAD to have it furry..... my kicker things to put front speakers in are getting the fur
treatment too. Lucky my headliner isn't too bad, else that would be furrified as well! Hahaha

I am so jealous of people with pink bugs ! I so desperatly want to respray my oval HOT PINK but the boy refuses to allow that sort of thing happen to
such a regal old lady. Mind you, she is currently a shocking shade of bright yellow, is low as and is so loud that you can hear her way before you can
see her !
BTW. I love your parcel shelf ! Have seen a bug with a furry headliner once and it looked awesome !

Thank you beerdoc! Thank you h!
If my headliner was battered and crappy, I would definitely be furring it!! LOL
When we paint-dyed my bf Egeworks' headliner, the second option was fur if the dye didn't work out. Lucky it did though, because I think it looks
sweeet!

4 or so weeks ago had problems with my 'lil Bug..... and to cut a long story short: engine is not reco like I was told when I bought her.
Today/tomorrow she is having the other head recoed/replaced (one was done 4-5 weeks ago), and since a cylinder is cracked and leaking oil BIG time,
she'll end up with new 1600 pistons and cylinders.
I can't thank my amazing bf Egeworks enough, for his help, knowledge and patience with me and my Bug when we've needed it... and his mechanic is
proving to be awesome too.... so long as Gem doesn't have any other problems! j/k
