indeed i do, some old, some newish. its lying around waiting for love atm.....lots of love.

twas my daily for about 6 years. sry bout the size of some of the old ones....digital cameras aye.....lol

Cheers man :)

I'm looking around at the moment to try and find another one. I've had two in the past, and want to get back into them! If I get an older one like yours (pre super basically) it's going to be a factory style resto, but if I get a superbug or an L I'm going to hot it up a bit.

What's going on here?

Is that just some single-pegger love? Or have you got some fancy pants running gear in there?

Edited by Isola

you mean like this?? its a '68 so still pre superbug (fat nosed uglyness), and my better halfs daily driver. nice little car. very quiet and smooth for an old beetle.

mine on the other hand has a bit of work done underneath. upgraded brakes, Koni's, 1916cc engine, rebuilt late swing axle box with taller gears, solid mounts, and a whole lot of exhaust noise....it chirps more gears than my skyline does....and chews tyres faster. :thumbsup:

and this is my little brothers. much angrier than mine, fully restored underneath, 4 wheel discs, big money spent on the box and engine. 2180 strocker, dropped spindles and to top it all off its an oval :rolleyes: '56 model. all mods have been done without damage to the original body.

he's getting it ready for a road worthy so he can sell it, as hes now a dad and needs a more practical vehicle. i think he's after 8-9 grand for it. (well worth it...but alot for a beetle)

I know how much they're worth/sell for. And how hard Ovals can be to find... so whilst I am a bit of a nutter, I'm just not a jew nutter :P

I am a cheapskate though, and don't want to pay much for one... but that's more because I want to do the work myself rather than pay for someone else to have already done it. I just want one in good enough condition to drive as a daily so I can piss the Skyline off and slowly do up the bug over time.

Hail!

Morning Mangs, TFIF.

Had a breaktrhough over night, UK mangs seem to have found the problem and are working on a fix. Maybe I'll get my leave soon :D.

Vee Dubs are sh*t. :nyaanyaa:

    • Getting Dangerously close to being ready to go back in the car. Rockers in with clearance castings now (and a quick check with the USA for the torque settings for the larger custom bolts) Covers and ported FAST Manifold sitting on there. Not fully tightened down as there's some clearancing required for the water pump with the earlier LS1 water pump styles. Example of the clearancing needing to be done: The body has to be ground a little but I'm struggling finding an actual piece of it. The later variant of water pump resolves the issue as the manifold was designed around it. It only came on the VZ LS1 in Australia, it got a different pulley for Gen4 motors. (it also costs $450... vs... $0).

    • Doing some height adjustment on front suspension on a v35 and noticed this. The passenger side looks correct. So wondering what's happened to the drivers side?
    • Oh...I have the electric mirrors as well iirc ...they're in the same state as just about every other R31 door mirrors, with the 3 plastic screw towers broken/cracked in the plastic molding. All the interior is 'dry', so the mirror switches etc likely all work fine. Some pics below of the trimmer pieces ~ looks to me like previous owner, painted chrome finished trims with black paint ...ergo, the chrome underneath is likely a-ok... ...starts to look yukky posting stuff like this, how much did it cost in fuel on your last sortie up this way?...me just thinking aloud, borrow someone else's 4cyl to cut costs, come do your own pick'n'pull like before to save me some bother...hehe.. but whatever, I'll just earmark bits I know you want, because the way this is all panning out, I'll be able to retire the R31 from daily duty at long last, replacing it with a Subaru wagon I'm lining up in the wings...ergo, my attitude towards the donor pinny shell is starting to wane a bit, and I'm more than happy to help you out there... Like you say though, no rush...and I'll guarantee we won't be moving too far from this locale at any rate 😎
    • Cool, I’m just down Sydney today. Not much time to get online.
