that sump guard is way too cool. Love it.
Did you have it custom made or where did you get it?

That standard 181 issue.

Working 181s ones had it as standard issue.
It was an factory option for a civilian one.

Some people reckon they are bad. The steel guard leads to the alloy block corroding away.

New 80 amp Alternator. Now I should be able to run my fridge while travelling.

All the Kubels parts sorted and packed away. When restoring a car you need order or you end up spending hours looking for some part.
Image

The body is almost ready for primer. Its time to fit all the doors and lids catches to make sure all panels line up.

And something for SubaruBug.

Hey Vader, its not a 181 part. Its a part that should be found on any standard 1.6TP Beetle motor.

And if you using something like this as a buttplug, I take my hat of to you.

Yeh Vader.

Now we all know why you wear that helmet, disguising your worn face. How much did you pay the script writer to add the fake see of you getting burnt.

:oops: :oops: We thinks you and your pink light sabre have been rather busy.
:oops: :oops: We thinks you are revealing your DARK side.
