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:

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
    • Just yesterday the car started to shake a bit when idle. So tomorrow ima test the some wires and packs with the multimeter and see what it is. Hopefully is a pack because thats the easiest thing to buy same day here where I live in the USA.
    • shot myself in the leg and now last night I have shaking when I idle lol
    • I'm not a big fan of the Cometic gaskets either, as above the head and deck need to be like a mirror (can't remember the RA) so Kamieri sounds like a good idea.  FWIW a mate of mine hordes old motor stuff and has some blank unground Nizmo cams for one of these in his supply if random shit if you're interested.
