    Update on my interior make over.
    Installed Dynamat on the floors, bulkheads, quarter panels and doors. No more timmy clang when I shut the doors now.
    Carpet set was installed by a very good VW trimmer here in Melbourne. He also repaired the seats and the torn door cards.

  • nice one Mick. I have the same issue with the tie rod and dual circuit master cylinder. Do you have to flip both ends or just the one at the steering box?

    7.5 degrees BTDC at 3000 rpm sounds off to me? 7.5 at idle (800rpm) is usual for a 60's air cooled VW.

    Yep but once you have created the account it all works smoothly after that. Got my order today. 2 50th anniversary tees, cap and sweat shirt. Nice stuff and looks great.
    Quick delivery too.

    Havent started to fit the carpet set yet. Still cleaning up the floor pan. And the seats are at Bus N Bug getting some repairs so no rush. Going to be a big push to get it back together for September.

    Fitted my new spottie bulbs this weekend. Nice products and quick service from vintage and classic bulbs. Those T34 spottie bulb holders would be tough to find if you lost one I think.

    Great write up Simon. I have driven my Ghia up to Numbucca Heads from Melb a couple of times now and it amazes me how well these old VW's handle these big trips.

    spent a few hours in the shed working on the Ghia this arvo and fitted my set of green faced early 911 gauges. Pretty happy with the look. Prefer the green face and chrome bezels of these mid 60's ones over the early 70's set.
