Hey ryan,
I think you still have a bumper I was supposed to pick up from you many moons ago but never got there!
anyway - I have a bullbar and rear bar if you're keen (theyre in south eastern suburbs)
cheers

Hi Ryan, I have got some spotties you can have for nicks if you want them. They are cheap plastic ones, but they were ok on our bus for a couple of
years. We got Harley D ones now, so give us a tingle if you want them.

been on the road for almost a week now, wow what a rollercoaster. i am losing ALOT of water, and a little bit of oil, still not sure how but am
working on it, but the car has been cruising better then i could have imagined, headed to frankston yesterday, got to boronia and a drive shaft fell
off! fixed it on the spot (thanks to the guys at the VW shop for the cheap bolts), was simply not put on quite right in the first place and had
worked its way loose, made it to frankston and back cruising comfortably at upto 95, no overheating, but seemed to boil going to templestow and back
today after replacing the thermostat (which was absent), am getting rediculously good fuel economy (averaging 10l/100km!), shock bolt on passenger
side tried to work itself loose today, and filled the cabin with smoke when turned the headlights on, but turned out just to be a short from one of my
accessory guages.
