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:

    • I clean my wheels every time I was the car, I also clean the barrels, the only product I use on the wheels is truck wash, followed by wash and wax, cleaning the barrels is easy with one of these microfibre thingies on a stick from Sabco, there also great for getting in between the front guards and body, and tight spots in the engine bay ย 
    • An updated post here. Sounds to me like there's definitely a bit of sketchiness here.ย  Old mate with 10 rusting Torana's in the front yard might be more who they're focussed on. (For right or wrong).
    • Is this not just about people wrecking, and storing, multiple cars in their front yard? I now a tow truck driver that was contracted by the council to clean up housing commission front and rear yards in houses and unit car parks I'm all for working on, and doing maintenance on your car in your garage or driveway, but some people definitely take the pissย  There's one house locally to me that I walk past regularly where the front yard and driveway looks like a wreckers, multiple cars in various stages of being stripped, and the yard looks like all of fluids are basically dumped on the ground I may be wrong, but it seems that the initial reports, which I've seen nothing actually official about yet, may be getting taken out of context, like alot of the latest "the sky is falling" stuff found on the youtubes for clicks
    • have they? Link appreciated. I live in Casey. I can see both sides of the argument in this case. There's a lot of sketchy stuff going on. There needs to be a clear definition of what this is supposed to be IMO. I wager the intent was to be a broad sweeping brush against people who have 4 cars up on blocks on their front lawn, not someone who services their own car behind their own gate on a weekend bothering probably nobody. But it'd be hard to legislate the difference there.
    • Oh, the wheels were already off. I wouldn't normally take them off to clean them although it does make it easier with the ceramic, so I might take them off when reapplying. I don't drive much but now with the ceramic coat, when I do drive and they get dirty I can get most off with the pressure washer. I'll be switching to dirtier pads soon which was the motivation for the ceramic as I usually just clean them and sometimes use Autoglym wheel protector. Nah, f**k the barrels! Haha, I'll give them a quick scrub when they're off the car and a pressure wash, but even I draw the line with the barrels. Yes, dark coloured wheels allow you to get away with a lot! ย
