Here are the shots from todays Day of the Volkswagen 2010 at Tea Tree Plaza. Nice atmosphere and a great day for it, even met a few new people.

Well this year it was a bit smaller due to the rains keeping the trailer queens away. However there was a nice turnout with a volksrod turning heads, along with a few amazing cars. Anyway here is what your all waiting for… PHOTOS!!!

Thanks to a friend (Hi Ross) who runs the http://www.bellett.net/forums/ let me know about a rat shoot for retro cars, unfortunatly i couldnt get there (slept in) however here are a few shoots from the meet. Read the full story with pics at http://www.bellett.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=563 few VW’s there

Here is another 90 odd pictures i have found on my travels of the web Enjoy.

I was gettign worried, these items were sent over 2 weeks ago and i hadnt heard hide nor hair of them. Untill Thursday (6/8/09) when i called the post office (all my packages get left there regardless whether I’m home or not), Luckily their was a package sitting there since the 24th, i just had apparently not gotten a little slip telling me to pick it up (not sure why they didn’t give it to me as i have picked up about 6 other packages in that time).

Anyway to the good bits.

These are the hinges made by AVD member RBS79, from the first time i saw them i knew i wanted some. $150 is a bargain for hand crafted gold like these (he has a few for sale check http://forums.aussieveedubbers.com/viewtopic.php?tid=78027). I haven’t got round to putting them onto the car (but i may tomorrow if i get a free minute) but here are a few pics of the un-boxing to tie you over.

Beautifully packaged, and presented, RBS79 took the time to bag all the nuts needed and wire tie it all together.

Here is the hinge (strut?) straight out of the packaging. i cant get over the work that really has gone into this. All i can say is Shiney Shiney, and not a sharp barb in site. I cant say enough about the quality of these items. When i get round to putting these on (hopefully tomorrow) i will do a step by step pic tutorial, to show you how easy (or not) it is.

Howdy All this is just a few shots of the fiberglass front ends available, hopefully able to get some built in Aus without it becoming prohibitively expensive.

Here we go another truckload of beetle pics and a few other interesting ones in there. Knock yourselves out

Again these pics are not mine just pics i have picked up in my travels.

Here are a few pics of the Volks Enthusiasts Hahndorf SA breakfast run, thanks to some of the guys at aussieveedubbers for tempting me, Food was great at the Hahndorf Inn but the service left a bad taste in my and a few other members mouths.

Now before i start, I didn’t take these, i don’t really know much information behind them, I would like to thank anyone who has posted, sent, uploaded these images. But these are the images i have collected over the past 2 months. (as i have been moving and literally only finished yesterday i haven’t touched either of the beetles).

Enjoy
