Tinsel Town Squareback

I've just sent some parts over to Elaine in Hollywood who has sent me this pic of her squareback which looks amazing!
Elaine runs an auto-detailing business over there and caters for some pretty hefty celbrities.

Good to meet you Elaine!

Fame and Fortune at last!

Well - maybe not the fortune bit!

Photos from the latest Volksworld mag - review of the VW Festival 2006 show in Leeds where I snagged best of show!
well chuffed!

Boyd Wheels - soon to be seen on a squareback near you!

HUBBA HUBBA!!!!

Yikes! Do you think they got out of this one!!

Back from my holidays!

Sorry for the slow blogging folks but I've been away in Portugal for a week away from the world of VW's.
Didn't see anything of interest out there apart from huge numbers of Renault 4's (which I kinda like) and this funky 3 wheeler advertising a cheesy English pub in one of the towns nearby!
















This is where I was staying

















Spent some time teaching the little guy (nephew) the finer arts of captaining his very own ship!

p.s. these pics were taken on one of only 2 days when the sun was shining!!! We had major storms the rest of the week!!! never mind eh!

Project Palomba Squared!

Chris Palomba - the chap behind this awesome T34 Ghia is hot on the case with his latest resto. This time a 62 Squareback.
Details are pretty secret at the moment, but the engine will be pretty big!!! - click the pic of the engine for a video of it being run in!!!!!
Car will also be featuring some parts from Chateaux Charlie too!

Keep up the good work Mr P. Hope to see it at Volksworld 2007!!!!

Bye bye J-Tubes

Remember these NOS heat exchanger to body pipes I got from BerT3















Well - I finally got them onto the Notch as this weekend finally got my two NOS heat exchangers on! so the J-tubes went in the garbage!
































Whilst I was at it -I fitted my NOS exhaust too - not before I painted it - thought I'd give some BBQ high tem paint a go to see how long this stuff lasts on a zorst!
















The rest of the single carb conversion is nearly done - engine looking a lot more stock than it used to do. NOS carb, NOS clamps, NOS rubber elbow and loads of other stuff I've forgotten.
Also put on the correct type of dizzy for this year too!
