yeah i've been away for a while as I'm busy doing the beetle and only dropping by now and again but this is the quietest I've seen this place

have most of the old names wandered off to new pastures?

I'm still here looking to buy another car soon as this
Split is over. how's whippy


Mr Whippy - 17/8/11 at 02:18 PM

whippy is doing just fine thanks

been working on this very rusty beetle every night till around 2 in the morning for about 4 months now! I welded up the chassis (about 8 meters of welding on just that). Then split the body from the chassis and am welding up and prepping the body ready for spraying. Must have spent at least 1000hrs on it so far, probably close to 4k spent and have masses to do yet but will be worth it in the end as I'm going to keep this car permanently hence why I am being really fussy about the quality. I'm in no rush to have it on the road, it will be done when it's finished

Well just start talking about Riots, or Scottish Independence, and you'll find it wakes a few people up. Even people like me, who shouldn't care.

To be honest mate, without you around it just wasn't worth being on here!

Am sure that it'll soon pick up now that you're back!


cheers,
James

Ear defenders are great, I was at Bloodstock last weekend (3 day open air metal festival) and ear defenders were essential ^_^

I have to agree with whippy - I was thinking exactly the same a couple of days ago, I even began to think the email (of repies) system had fallen on its ar*e.

Anyway, Nice to see you restoring a rusty Vbug - just to spur you on, you might like to see a pic of daughter-in-law's extremely rare and original 1953 'Zwitter' Bug.....



With its signature split oval rear screen....
