The Notch came with its original jack, tool kit (including little goodie to pull the hub caps off) but without the reverable screw driver, but I had one lying about, and without the cover over the generator belt. The rear window was brown and the windscreen was cracked, the gears felt like you were looking for a sop-been in n pot sop met n hout lepel, the rear view mirror had completely decayed in the sun. And, she is of course still sporting a Beetle silencer
So I got onto T3D, and got a windscreen (2 in fact...
) a rear window, and rubbers, a rear view mirror, metal, not plastic, replaced all that, (got rid of the extra windscreen...
) and got stuck into the gear shift, easy-peezy, brakes, not so easy, both rear slave cylinders were siezed and needed replacement. In the meantime, I installed Beetle brakes at the bake (ex-Rumours), new hand brake cables (the hand brake was torn off its bushing on on side, got it welded up.) Decided she needed new floor pan halves, new slave cylinders and a new exhaust with heater boxes. All those were ordered and are now at home, waiting for me to get around to.
The last pic is at some nice guy's house. Sorry I am so kak with names, Gill makes up for it by telling me "you met them before, such-and-such a place and time, these are their names." I can only apologise for my memory. Anyway, said nice-guy has a splitty which was in very very early stages of project rebuild, but it looks just like the splitty DaveR got a hold of...
Anyway, Notch (she doesn't even have a name yet...) will be there for all to see at the social too.
