hi

Post by steelo »

New member, thought I'd say hello. Always been interested in VWs and Kombis but not here to buy at present. Used to have a ghia a few years ago. Like following members restos and really liked the rat rods at Dubs at the Pie. Really like the community spirit on here.

Thanks for all the welcomes. Have a couple of pics of the ghia somewhere but only had it a short while as it needed a bit more work than first thought/hoped. Drove fine bit modified with big wheels and dechromed- really should have kept it and saved up for bodywork. Had a morryminor styleside ute for 6 years as my daily driver should have kept that too. FB Wagon loved that too but a menace with all the roundabouts here, I'm ok with selling that one, bit rusty and got sick of smashing my left knee getting in and out- doors filled up in the wet- rust galore. Got a family member with a low km 66 beetle that I'd love to snavel if he ever sells. He may even read this and get an idea to sell. thanks again blokes Steely

Haven't heard that one for a while! Good one. "stainless" has been popular, but Steely seems to endure. I work with teenagers so cop a fair bit! and have pretty thick skin.

Ease up Brent.....

Ricky was only being a nice guy by taking alcohol around to the lady teen because she was too young to legally buy it herself....
Incredible how things can be "blown" out of proportion.....

Hey there Steelo, welcome aboard the DSK train

So what do you do for a crust? Don't make new replacement panels do you

Would be a great company name

"Steel Replacement Panels"

Enjoy the site mate, George
