OOM se GAT

tried to fix the rear wheel alignment but failed miserably

Needed to replace the front of the box which broke when the car rolled
Played with the carb in the other puma and tried to make the last door panel for my bug but got sucked into the puma stuff

PS, Thats not me in the Photo! thats the owner of the puma, my dumbass brother.

Damn man, get your bro out, and your girl in, haha.

And heaven alone only knows how he is going to fit it all in his car! Should have seen both my bro's when they had Fro's, that was wierd.

And the gangsta rap award goes to.... MC Karma K in da house yawl. Lol
Haha, James bros are characters to say the least.

Pulled all the crap lining off the Ghia's dash. Riped out the rear pacel shelf carpet. Realigned and fitted the rear seats. Pulled the motor to replace the front gearbox mounting. Only to find its not a standard beetle one. AND the mounting is not broken, its the bolt holes that are 3 times the size they supposed to be. Which means some arsehole never tightened the bolts enough when they were last fitted. Damn.

Tommorrow I will fit a new master cylinder and check the condition of all the brakes.

Things really get done when you have 2 appy's to help.

Then find somebody who can weld 2 washers onto the mounting.

Tom, Tom how good are your welding skills. But then again I think the Poly one is going to work. So I need to get to Dave Rowley. (Iwas in 2 minds about buying the poly one this morning, damn.)

Got the split out of storage and fitted the new goodies from BAB.
Thanks again BAB. It looks really good.

Dam, those are nice! think i better ask BAB's nicely to make me some for my replica EMPI 5's...but wow, those are looking good!

Ghia back on the road. Repair gearbox mounting. Then reinstalled gearbox and motor. Set the timing and she runs sweetly again.

Brakes will have to wait till next weekend. Will also check all wheel bearings. As I dont understand why I can run for a whole week with no problems and then all of a sudden the brakes start to lock.

Time will tell.

Only a pleasure glad they fit now others can see the caps !!!!!!!!!!!

Went to look at the upholsterers progress, and was gladly excited, seats are done, doorpads done, carpeting done, hoodling done, now to fit seats and boot carpet. Yippieee

BAB + Beetlefanatic - Those centre caps do look the business, Very nice work there.
