Hey guys, Went to the show. Was good but in my opinion way too many wasser cooled cars. They did well to keep all the different types together this year. Here are my photos from the day. http://s18.postimg.org/ym984kixx/IMG_4634edit.jpg http://s18.postimg.org/mvvan6q5h/IMG_4636edit.jpg http://s18.po...

I have a bunch of photos. Had a play with only this one so far. Ill put up the rest if I get some time to play later.

I think my photos are much the same as all the ones already posted but ill show you all anyway. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2610/5753654189_0e99a1402a_z.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2400/5753653283_3085d969c3_z.jpg http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5063/5754198596_8fd3d1d9f1_z.jpg http://farm3...

Ok so its been a long time since updates and sadly the car is still not registered. I bought a unit and have had no money since. Ive finally started to save a little bit so been doing a little to my beetle. I did some cip1 shopping and got a bunch of stuff including adjusters and drop spindles. I al...

I see this one at Sydney Airport every now and then.

I noticed both the split window beetles had notices on them saying: Wanted - any oval or spli bodys. Maybe they have advertised on the net too and you can track them down on AVD or something.

Squizy,

The effect is called HDR, and its done by taking 3 bracketed photos and merging them in a program likr Photomatix

Went to the show today. Didnt take too many photos as I was a little hungover but here are a few pic. http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4049/4631330044_ee6fd99f9d_o.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4045/4630730731_cccedd03cc_o.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4006/4630730793_21cab1fd62_o.jpg http:/...

I think there would be a bit of a market out the for drop spindles with the K&L pre installed. Id be interested and the seller could prob turn over a little profit if they bought all the parts in bulk and did the work themselves.

I work at the airport and often see a orange post 68 beetle in the staff carpark, but yesterday I saw a weiss pre 67 beetle that looked nice driving in. I tried to see if it was someone I work with or now but lost them in the queue.

I went over for a bit of a look and took some photos.

I wouldnt mind learning how to build an engine.
If this happens then im keen.

Ive had the plan for a while, but its a long term plan, just start looking for parts and get stuff when it comes up at the right price. 1st step im going to install the mexican FI to my engine with a megasquirt. I plan on just running it N/A for a while untill everythings sorted. Then I plan on addi...

Hey Guys, For my beetle im after: A King & Link Adjustable Beam, or if I have no luck with that Ill settle just on a standard King & Link Beam and get someone to weld the adjusters in for me. Im also looking for a turbo header which keeps the turbo down low preferably below the tinwear. Im h...

I dont know if anyone is interested but on the 1st Nov I think its Boris's Picnic day at Dolls Point. You could cruize there?

Mike

Firstly is it insured and will this claim be put through your or someone elses insurance? Whats the damage like? Is it just panel damage or are the beam and wheel assembly stuffed as well? If theres mechanical damage you could go the cheap way of just buying the new (or 2nd hand) parts you need and ...

Heres my pics from the day.

A fair few of these photos are in the HDR format and the light off the cars can make the colours and dark spots annoying after a while.

Mike

Hey Guys, Went down for a bit of a look, had a great day. I think it runs so well as people are there just to let people see what they have and to look what other people are doing. Really relaxed atmosphere. I took a heap of photos, but been at work tonight so I havent processed many yet, but heres ...

Where abouts in Taren Point is the Rat Day held?
