Good to see you and hear of your footy antics today.
Got the clutch replaced this afternoon on Nick's 58 'the green bug' and trans input shaft seal replaced. He left before 6. Only went on the hoist
at 2,30.

Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever,... 
and my problem is when ever I have some free space, other people say,..
"hey!! can I store _______ in your shed for a while???"
I swear one day I'm going to start charging rent, and then I won't have to work.
Oh,. and before you ask,.. I"M FULL!!! no more room.

Yes Carl......
UPDATE REQUIRED
the weekend prior to Valla, I had finalised all the customer work and got stuck into fitting a few new goodies to the bug. The front end was still
'as purchased'. Riding on the stops was not cool, I had some dropped spindles but needed to narrow the beam to get everything under the guards. I
went with a 2" aftermarket beam with factory needle bearings for the torsion arms. I didn't want the shock towers to rub the body at all and without
cutting the body the 2" is a compromise. I might sneak a little more down the track....so to speak.
Beam in LHD configuration
So.... as usual, it's out with the old
and in with the new
assemble kingpins with new German link pins
I also fitted a Scat deep sump since a thrashing around Raliegh raceway was on the cards
and some thermal covers on the oil lines for the highway running
All was completed in time and I headed to Valla Wednesday 1-8-12
Bluey was looking sweet with her new stance
first fuel stop, Tweed

Looking good for sure, and the ride with the 3" spindles is smooth as......... until .....1/2 hr north of Balina, 110km zone of beautiful new
highway, following behind Brad for the first time.........BANG
I wore the lot
Rest stop for more layers of clothing
if your good, you might be able to count the bugs splattered on the inside rear vision mirror
Four hours later at Valla boozer, I was greeted by our mate Luke
lucky I packed a beany, balaclava, scarf, wet weather jacket and a few jumpers..........

Saturday .... cruise to Nambucca. So many cars we didn't make it to the main street. Luke was getting worried about fitting in all the cars.... he
asked me to park in the weeds
Sunday... parked up with some buddies
Homeward bound Monday.....running freight too

Gee thanks Ash, I love you too. I thought normally you don't mind it fast. 
And thanks to all the nice comments, both here and at Valla. Sure makes you feel good. Bluey is looking the part, but as always, there's plenty more
to do
