Need a tow - Sydney - Camperdown to Campbelltown
Hey guys,
I need an urgent hand towing my beetle from Camperdown to Campbelltown, tomorrow morning would be ideal, if anyone has a truck or a trailer and help
me please give me a shout.
Alternatively, if you know a good towing company that wont rape my wallet, let me know.
PM me or call on 0 4 1 6 9 6 1 5 1 9.
Thanks Ben.
P.S. WILL PAY $$$
No i'm not repainting it.

Hey Paul,
Yeah problem being I have no one available to tow it !! 
I hunted around online yesterday, trolling through all sorts of foreign car forums, found a thread where a bunch of guys were recommending a guy
called "Ian Johnson" of Ian Johnson's Towing, gave him a call, gonna do the job for $200 ... I thought that was pretty decent cause some places
were trying to charge $350-400.
If any one is interested his number is 0423 566 766.
All going to plan, the beetle will be on the road this weekend, its getting towed out to Adam today to have the engine dropped and new clutch put in..
Been painfully slow waiting to get it done, in the home stretch now If
all goes to plan I'll head out there on Saturday to collect her. You gonna be around ?
No i'm not repainting it.

Haha. I think we're due for rain this weekend too =/ So hopefully your seals are ok.
Notch is coming along slowwwly. I've been pretty busy and haven't found much time to sand and paint it. I'm gonna give it a good shot this Saturday
as I have the day off work Hopefully I can get all the sanding done so
the paint has something to stick to. Not sure if I'm gonna use an air compressor or a crap load of rattle cans to spray the car. Rattle cans would
give it a rattier look I think. We'll see

Rattle cans FTW!!!
I am gonna strip and paint the interior of mine with rattle cans, just buy a good brand, prep well and give it plenty of coats. Hope the weather stays
good .. My seals could do with replacing but they don't leak, I am more worried about the tires ... I don't think I'd get defected, but they
definitely need attention. they will be the next purchase.

Yeah my seals are the same. They're falling apart but no leaks yet. If it's not broken, don't fix it I reckon! Tyres would be a good idea  After getting new tyres for mine, it drives much nicer! I think I'm gonna
drop the front and back two splines when I get a chance too. I think that job is gonna be hard =/

Talk to Adam and Mick at RAW when you want to get it done... The dropped mine, they do great work and very reasonable prices.

Brilliant. I'll look them up. I've watched videos and read guides, but I think a fair few things can go wrong and I don't want to stuff it up.
Cheers!
