Looking very nice mate, but how the hell could someone judge a 'new' Beetle to be better then that at VW Jamboree??

The only effort they'll have made would be to take it for a service and for a set of rims. Not nurtured or cared for etc etc . . . . . . . . beggars belief!!

Yeah but to be fair, I was the 3rd last car entered that day and was made to park at the rear as it was a mainly aircooled event (like 99% aircooled)

**kavlfc** · 24-04-2009, 10:58 PM

Very surprised the aircooled boys went with a modern version of a classic rather than one in it's own right. Congrats on the second place tho'

there's no shame in coming 2nd as I'm going to have to keep telling myself at the end of the footy (soccer) season!!!

Anyone reckon these are worth $80? From a Porsche 924 and come with a temp sender.

Thinking about buying them, I do like them a lot.

If they've got the senders they look good value for money going off what they go or over here.

what are your plans for it when it's off the road?

Hey mate,

The plans are to pretty much take it apart to search for rust. Then to clean everything and put it back together and replace what needs replacing.

Will need to do some paint touching up too as I have some special badges coming for the rear

Also plan on getting the front bumper straightened and re-chromed.

Many plans, little money. Eventually I want a heron motor matched up to a rebuilt auto. Don't know if I will turbo it anymore though. Still researching that one.

So, today I went to a breakers yard and found an old cassette player with am/fm radio in a mk1. It also has an Auxiliary input which is the reason I took it. My plan is to take it apart and see what makes the Aux input, then transfer it over to my 'Pressmatic Delux' radio.

I also got another dash mat, some rear lights, a new bonnet latch and best of all, a kamei door pocket with cup holder! The passenger side one had been taken but the person left the drivers side

I also bought some stuff from another website and from the moonequip website in the US. Couple of other things as well, you will have to wait and see though
