shit Barry, that's tough. Hopefully something will come up. In the meantime, best of luck with the sale. I'll call you later this week, I think Bob is planning a trip to you for those wheels...

Really sorry to hear that Barry :( Glad you got a quick sale though, no prolonging the pain.

My jobs looking decidedly ropey too...fu*king construction industry. Hope you find something soon.

the split just left the workshop , kinda glad in a way it went so fast but at the same time it wasn`t easy letting it go but sure what can you do. plan was to get the chassis done and the welding finished within the next few months then it was going into dry storage till i got sorted out in oz so i could get it shipped over there . was gonna cost an arm and a leg to get it how i wanted it so it`s a relief now that i won`t have to work my arse off for 2 years to build a car i`d probably be afraid to drive cos it cost me so much .

roll on oz and rot free cheap vws ;)

Sorry to hear about your job Barry, economy is in bits, here and as it seems everywhere else. Sad to hear about all these places closing and sending people home. We already had a round of redundancies at work and I hope I can sit it out in my current work place...

Barry, thats sh1t, I'll get onto that guy about the deck lid asap!

It'll come good down under, two of my colege mates are there the last 2 years, Fonz and Luke Ray, you might have heard of them if your on Restowagon, if you have you'll know their cars, all source and bought in Oz! Fonz just got a mint Notch to us a a daily and parks it along side his split bug! Luke just had his 61 featured in Ultra!! There was not rust or resto on any of their ride, just bought and detailed!
