if you need any help or advice ask sniper (giggles other half) as i think he was a bit of a VW fiend in a previous life!!!
Yeah and his dad always used to carry a tow rope and tool box for when he broke down.
Sniper (Mike) would tell all the bad things about owning a VW (and maybe a few good things too if you ask nicely ) His first car was a 1965 Beetle and then he got a 1972 Cal-look Beetle. When we first got together it sat in his folks garage, having broken down months earlier. Just thought Bitzer would probably have some stories about the Beetles Mike owned.
He used to do Bug Jam in the late 1980's and very, very early 1990's, then he met me and bought a fire engine.............
thanks all, just been out to Burger King Ahhhhh 6volt lights
Mike used to say 6 volt lights were like driving by candle light, I think he converted his '65 to 12 volts. (Might have got that wrong, as it before I was on scene) Mind you the lights on the Fairlane ain't much better.
You should try driving a bloody 3 gen trans am/ firebird, i think they run on watch batteries or something, nightmare, you will be hard pushed to see one of those out at night !!!
Working around to the back, removed and replaced the o/s rear wing, a bit of rot on the lower qtr however for a old car quiet sold! cut all the bits and welded in new sections
Will do the N/S tomorrow and then weld the boot lid see pics
Well cut out the rot in the N/S rear gtr panel and all the wing bolts un-done!
made a new section for the boot lid, being tight and didnt want to buy a 2nd one.
Put a small plate in the N/S at the bottom, the car is quiet sold for its age and all going well, should be ready for paint in a weeks time, Booked time off and ready for the paint booth, few more bits to do, but will pull the glass out when its in the workshop
Credit to ya mate, lot of hard work going on there. Hope you make it to the spray shop on time. That's a real chalk'n cheese collection with the caddy!
Cheers, yep its very chalk and cheeze but i will be able to use this all the time. The cadillac is a nice however its only used for car show about 7 a year and a few wedding
its booked on at the spray oven Tuesday evening, will post pics
