Re: Retrovans 1952 Split Beetle -Lady Phoenix
OK, so I managed to fit the last bit of trim to Lady Phoenix.
Been a year in the waiting, but finally arrived and fitted.
....
What is it you ask, .. well have a look and see if you can spot it.
Sitting on either side ...
Pleased as punch

Re: Retrovans 1952 Split Beetle -Lady Phoenix
Sorry Jaco, must be my night off, do not get it.
Yes buggyfan, she is finally licensed, and no thanks to our wonderful Bisho, no, I had to eventually "Phone A Friend"
The disk was not on as she had to go to RWC before a disk would be issued.
Drove her down to the little man in a white coat with horn rim glasses and clipboard, and took my chances.....
When he eventually came back and with a grin from ear to ear, uttered these words, "Hey boet, this is the best restoration I have seen in years, and yes, its the best VW Beetle I have ever had at my RWC, she's perfect."
This filled my failing cholesterol hart with such pride, that I did not know what to say.
And with this big mouth, that means a lot.
So off to the post office to get the license disk for the window in the morning.
On the road again ....

How do you find the laykold, does it do a good job at keeping the noise out ?retrovan wrote: Thu Dec 15, 2016 5:21 pm.......Yes the Laykold is a lot cheaper, and it works just as well as the high priced stuff.Donovan D wrote:.....
I was at the local Builders Warehouse yesterday and had a look at the laykold tape.
How well does this stuff work for sound proofing compared to products that are made for soundproofing. The Dynamat stuff is just way to expensive.
