Fucken spend 100 dollars on a dash mat for god sakes. Go to Bunnings and buy so gay black carpet and some spray on ados and call it done. Lest it will look like some effort has been put into it.
It's not like when your driving it it's not directly in front of you and you don't see it.
Rant.

my scooter is with retro scooter at the moment and i got the call that she needs a fair amount of work.
new crank, going to need a new piston and a hone and a bunch of other parts.
i asked whats the price difference in rebuilding it as a stock px200 verse going to a 225, well the crank is the same price and your already going to need a new piston and a hone so for a few more extra 100s you can get the 225.
so with the twist of my arm, it looks like the vespa is going to be a big, big block

i actually sold the rotary engine in November / December.
It wasn't something i really wanted to do but i kinda suggested it to a dude and he was hella keen and paid what i was asking for it, so i sold it.
the money went on a loan and put me in a better position.
so she is kinda going into storage for a while and ill rebuild it with a 12a,13b injected engine but build the engine or i might buy new from mazda for a 13b and do it all correct this time instead of over 22 days.
need to sort some things out and do it a lot more correct so i can drive it a lot more freely and on the road.
i might buy another bug and just not put a rotary in it in the mean time.
we will see.
but we will see a rotary beetle again that is for sure.-

if you really get stuck and want to talk to another person with a blown lexus v8 i can probably get you in contact with jase brown.
he done the swap below a long time ago.
feel your pain at the moment and this is as helpful as i can get with in this situation
he is extremely helpful with no mater what and is a super nice dude so i can only imagine he would want to help and just talk.-

I done a bunch of Upholstery on it here in Hamilton when it had the number plate rotate I think.
If I can start up my lap top I think I still have photos of it on that. Or if I can get into bebo I'm sure I'll have some of it on there. Or if mum still has my CD of photos off her old PC.

Hi team. me again.
So we left it with i brought a solar panel for the bus. Well i wasn't to sure on how to mount it up so i called in for assents of @Geophy and @mark105.
we all got busy and made some stuff work.
kombi roof racks do not hold a greg that well, but it was the only way to get up and put the rivnuts in.
all mounted and ready to go.
we ran the wires down and through the roof and popped out under the back seat to the unit that sends the power to the battery. for some reason i dont really have any pictures of this but ill post some next time.
the following day i parked it out side and thought id see what the solar panel would actually do, in over cast weather it was still pulling current and you could see the current change from different light.
if you cant tell i was excited and had to share my news with @Ned
as soon as the sun came out to play you could watch the voltage go up.
this app im using is from a ABM2 Bluetooth Battery Voltage Monitor. which i needed to tell @UTERUS about.
so that was all done and it was pretty much time to go to wagnats. so i thought with 20 hours before my little holiday i should really remove the engine.
i had been meaning to do this for a long time to put the correct tin wear on the back of the engine so it would seal the engine bay.
see how the current one is tapered, we yeah it was letting air in.
so three hours later and replaced a rubber seal she was back in and running ready to go.
the following day we got up and headed to wag nats.
1st stop was in te kuiti to drop off some seats to a friend. Leaving te kuiti there was some road works and everyone decided to pass me around 80-110kmph and showered me in stones managing to put 2 large chips and one crack into my windscreen and another into a fucken headlight. all for me to fucken follow all the assholes for the next 2 hours....... can you tell how happy i am about this situation.
any who
made it to wagnats
wagnats was the best
note, good old Jack Daniels boxes floating around haha
Shout out to @Brimmy for those last two great photos and the solid amount of even better photos in the wagnats thread.
we are off camping again this weekend and maybe to a vw gathering in tauranaga. we will see how we get on.
till next time.-

yeah and if you want to be adventurous it will be a bit more, im deferentially going to be one with my vespa at the end of it.
the year i rode the hole of east cape was roughly 1100kms so cant be that bad right.....
