Johan, ek het simpatie met jou, watse probleem het jy met papiere?
Ek is baie opgewonde met die vordering en kan nie wag om eerste draai te gaan ry nie, ongelukkig is daar nog baie wat gedoen moet word.
In die stadium soek ek nog na die lugfilter, kan dalk een kry by Volksie World maar is nie seker of dit die regte een is nie, sal Maandag foto stuur aan VW om seker te maak wat hulle het is wat ek benodig.
Alle sterkte aan jou met jou projek.

First it was a mission to track the PO but that was sorted and at the moment I holding thumbs for the final paper all was submitted to the relevant authorities but I have not taken a bucket of Kentucvky with so this is the determinant in the calculation of the waiting time! Holding thumbs at this time.
It could have taken a very shorter period to do just that but as we all known prograstination is the mother of all failed projects and she is quite a thief of time so in the end it looked quite a bit like a sad story but there is no reason to shed a tear on this one!! Hope it will be sorted by the end of this week. Everything is now in place for a positive outcome!!
Thanks for the support guys!!

Hi Guys, sorry for the long delay in bringing you all up to speed with Priscilla's progress, time is just flying and overtaking me.

Went to have a peep this morning, her engine is in, she started and purred like a kitten!
Next on the menu is a new throttle cable, new brake lines or pipes and the steering.
The rotor was turned 180 degrees and refurbished, some parts were missing and broken.

If everything goes to plan my baby will be home this weekend!!!! Oh I can't wait!!!

Cherio!

Another day, another problem!
When you fix one thing, you dicsover the next thing that's broken.
The brakes are fixed but now the booster for the brakes is not working like it should :(
The electrical choke is also dead but not a problem.
Steering is fixed on both sides, throttle cable replaced and engine is running, sounds SO good!
Nearly there!!!
Cherio for now.

Whats wrong with the booster?

There's nothing inside the thing except for a great big spring.
