Getting the engine pulled on Tuesday to get to the bottom of the oil leak and then hopefully not long after if the leak is an easy fix....

Definitely coming to Valla if I have to push it all the way :lol: :lol: :lol:

Can anyone lend me their middle & rear seats for 1 day for blue slip, please?

I won't get mine re furbished for a while (short of dollars at the mo) and I want it complianced as it should - a 9 seater. Don't want to be knocked back and told they can only compliance it for 3.....

I will not let anyone sit on them or touch them (except Blue slip guy of course) and will only need them for the day. All care & responsibility taken.

Hey kombimadness just a heads up if you get Kombi complied as a 9 seater you may have dramas like myself and others with the rta as they class 9 seats as a minibus and therefore need to get inspected by a heavy vehicle inspector bloody stoopid! check it for yourself or jus say it's 8 seater and then no drama[/code]

Yeah, thanks for that info, I just spoke to Mr. Muller and he told me the same... 8 seater it is!

Disregard the request for borrowing seats I am sorted. :D

Yeah thanks Tom. When you come down to Helensburgh I'll give you all the details of the importing process....
I found it pretty painless & simple actually. Just the waiting for it to arrive is the shitty bit... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

No, not at my age! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I wonder if my Father knew we were jumping off the Splitty's roof? I can't remember but I'm guessing yes because who took the photo? Must've been him....

Might have to get my 9 y.o. to jump off and recreate the scene 45 years later and keep it in the family. That'd be a cool photo to hang on the wall; my old photo in a frame shared with a new photo of my son jumping off.... 8)

She is now blue slipped, green slipped, regoed in NSW with

MY 58 VW plates..... it's been an exhausting 2 days running around to get it sorted for blue slip!

A big thank you to Stephen Muller for all his help and fitting me in to sort out a few niggly issues (wiring, burnt out electronic ignition, etc) to get her sorted for blue slip.

I can now drive her legally and insured.... see you all at Valla! :D
