new exhaust tip mounted!

Today I mounted the chrome exhaust tip from ISW West. Without this extention, the overrider always  had blue and black marks from the exhaust -  I hope this solved now!

this is what the overrider looked like before: 

with the new chrome tip:

It should look as good as this from now on!

Back from the US...

after more than 2 weeks in the US I am back in good old Germany! On my trip I visited Alex @ ISP West to purchase some stuff for my ACVW's:

a tool for the oil filler nut, a Fastback t-shirt, a new front window seal (with moulded corners) a set of air cleaners (maybe for future projects) and the most important one: An exhaust tip extension to prevent my overrider from blueing and exhaust waste!

nice chrome surface and an extra hole for water drainage:

 this will prevent the chrome tip to rust from the inside out!

More pics from the trip and the installed exhaust tip will follow soon!

filling up on the trip to Duisburg ... die 3 von der Tankstelle ...

3 nice aircooled VW's:

Mano's light blue late model cal looker and the usual pair on the way to a VW meeting in Duisburg, Toeppersee. In this pic it is perfect weather and the sun is shining, only 3 hours later it poured and we headed home without even taking some pictures of the meeting...

VW Euro Wanroij 2013: pics

Today we visited Wanroij for the VW Euro Meeting. Besides a 15 minute rain shower the weather was o.k. and the area for the meeting was huge, including a mud pit for the Buggies, a nice lake, big camping ground, a vendor area and so on. Here are some pics:

a nice contrast opposed to all the panscrapers:
