T3D Open Day 2007

Well - firstly a big thanks to Mike D. for the following pics from the T3D open day.

I had an uber busy weekend and was unable to attend.
I drove my notch up from Nottingham to Manchester on Friday night as the notch was to be the wedding car at a really good friends wedding. Only problem was that the Solenoid on the starter motor decided to pack in after my arrival in Manchester on friday night.
I didn't reckon the bridesmaids would be up for giving me a bump start at the wedding so had to scrounge a Mercedes to use on the big day instead! :-(

Anyway - I couldn't make it down to the T3D open day but it looks as though a good time was had by all!

I even happened to have a NOS 6v solenoid in my stash back home so the Notch is now back on the road already ! yay :-)

enjoy the photos!

Gizmo Bob

Well - we're still in what seems to be the flood capital of Europe over here in England but it's nice to see some people are getting nice weather!

Here is GizmoBob from Cali's 62 Gulf Blue notch looking nice in the sun.

Count the accessories!
And Bob seems to have developed a small forest on his dash.

Some more NOS goodies

Complete NOS Type 3 EARLY tie rod including the hard to find 9 degree angled tie rod end
And, what looks to be NOS, Hazet wheel lug wrench - the one with the little hub cap pullers hidden behind the retractable handle.

I'm Back!

Well - I'm back from the land of the Fjords - Norway!

Also picked up this original oldy worldy styleee Auto Warning Triangle set for the Notch.

Weighs a bloody tonne - all metal and 2 x triangles. Way better than the plastic crap you can buy now a days

VW Type 3 - Rare Accessory update

Picked up a rare VW Type 3 accessory Front Hood handle from BerT3 whilst at the Bug-In. Only suitable for the early early cars without the hood chrome trim.

Now the question on everyone's lips is - Do I have the balls to drill my nice shiny hood to fit this???????
