Hey Good News everyone :D My Dad & Mom came to visit me at Juergen's........

Here are a few pics of what has happened to me since you last saw me :roll:

My brakes have all been stripped
Image

Image

And these are the NEW ones that my Dad gave to Juergen to replace the old ones :)
Image

Just look at the state of my front suspension :oops: Dutch, yours also looked like this :lol:
Image

My engine has also come out...... :oops:
Image

And the Oil cooler is not very well :( Just look at the state of it
Image
Image

And then Juergen STRIPPED my Carbeurator too :oops:
Image

That is about all for now, more next week - my Dad & Mom are happy with my progress so far - Thanks Dad & Mom, I am going to be BEAUUUUTIFULL when I come home :bowdown:

Great to see the old shop and progress. Saturdays are not the same anymore and I miss them very much. Good news Bobbie and Mo have landed, cleared customs and should be collected this week. Will take pictures and post when they are here.

Gill went to see "the Notch" (we really do need to come up with a better name :roll: ) and she said there is lots more progress. She said she (the Notch :roll: ) looked very strange with all the fenders removed.

I was quite shocked to see all the debris on the oil cooler. But not surprised. Remember the smoke that came from the Eucaliptus leaves that lay the air intake plenums?

For Jeurgen: Did you do an end float check on the crankshaft yet?

Well, well, well...... I know that it has been a long time since the last post, but we have been very busy here at Grand Slam :)

Project Notch is well under way and we thought that the guys would like to see a bit of what has happened to "HER LADYSHIP" since you last saw her :mrgreen:

Image

As you can see Juergen is quite serious about being a VW fan :twisted:

This is how he has started "UNDRESSING" me :oops:
Image

AND MORE :(
Image

Look at the State of my fenders :!:

And then I was NAKED :zhelp:
Image

Just a peek at how Rusty my body is, never mind the Floor Pan :oops:
Image
Image

And now I'm at the Panel Beater to get all fixed up :lol:

More later when Aunty Es has taken some more pics of my progress :hangloose:

Still working on getting the rubbers. Have a quote from the UK.

Eish... a cool 500GBP for two door rubbers, two lid rubbers and an engine cover and dipstick rubber. Mutter-mutter... :bn:

:evil: Checking elsewhere...
