Let's rewind this morning's conversation at Hi-Q for a second, and replay it here for all to see:

'Hi Guys, my name is Tom. I run an international VW website, viewed by millions every day. I am willing to give you some exposure on it in return for some work on my trusty steed. At no charge, of course.'

he he he

Glad you got it sorted, Tom. Now you go and enjoy Hermanus!

Hope you pay "Oom Danie" a visit this time

Pine, This is the first time I am sending a PM and hope it works properly.

I never asked anyone for any favour and the reason I gave them such good works is........

I just happen to be the owner of this shop.



Joking, they damn charged me R200 for this job. So the whole Tie End job cost me R400.00

We have to go Visit Oom Danie and explain to him that My Folks will not be at Hermanus Whales n Wheels. They will be in your Land at the time.

Absolutely nothing

Just found more

OK so maybe not....If i had to bring one more ACVW home the tune of a would be around the corner, my mom already wants to kill me 4 the ones at home.

Then again she said no more after Toy 1....

What did you do on your car today?

Nothing. But I went with Skymac to Springer to go and fetch the d/c. Also met Coop and the Marigold project - very interesting!

Pulled the Ghia's motor, to find the remains of a nut or bolt in between the head and piston

Lady's starter solenoid is showing it's age, so I have to bang it now and again, must admit the procedures in "Keeping your Volkswagen alive" has once again proved invaluable.

I also got fed up with trying to make a mold for Christn's dash, so I finally just fiber-glassed over the whole damn thing.
With any amount of luck it will come off clean, then the interior an start getting sorted.

@ tom
about ur thing getting its alignment done, u do know theres a pill for that

Here we go, my new Dash!
I know, i wanted the Rev counter to stay where is was in the original SP but the other two gauges didn't want to fit then...

Also put in a LED for my brights light. I love my dremel, was so easy to cut that panel to fit the gauges...


And for the people that like pictures....

I finally got to drive the 914 again but 2 injectors were pissing. luckily I had some but what a job
also got the seats back from upholstery
Finally I fitted a replacement front hood to ready it for some love from my painter
Armand

After getting the parts needed for the Ghia, I started rebuilding the motor only to be interupted twice, first to go and tow in Sompie-WP's beetle and then my sons beetle when the breaks jammed.

Now I will finish the Ghia tommorrow.

After much pain in the rear, Christn's dash is coming along again.

Took the fiber-glass off the OG dash today. A little more work and the two peaces I've made, bottom and top, will be joined.
I'm still undecided as to wither I'm going to cover it or spray paint it.
