Hey Alpal, thats looking great, is that one Birch Green, its always hard to tell from photos, daily i'm looking at my wife Katherine's Beetle which was Bahama Blue which also looks similar to Carols, it sits lonely in the shed with its unpainted shell sitting on the trolley sadly staring back at me every day while I try and complete tasks on our house build, takes forever when you do everything yourself, i'm desperate to get back into it, look forward to more updates, cheers Greg

Finally got around to changing the clutch cylinder on the 84 Toyo 60 series. Been weeping on and off for yonks. Visit to Repco to get the replacement knowing that the vac boosted 85 is different. Back home and pulled the leaker out bugger! Different device. Mounting bracket and connector bracket to pedal incompatible. Today back to Repco and replacement ordered. Phone call this arvo and part is ready for pick-up. Back tomorrow with fingers crossed.

Apols for tardy reply. Missed your post somehow?
Colour is one Carol picked at the paint supply shop. Carols Beetle story is much the same as yours. Spent over ten years waiting after a strip down and paint removal. Finally decided to get a car club mate to do the prep and paint.
Stagnating AGAIN waiting to sort out the wiring. Might have to gat some help again.

New cylinder tickety boo but when I tried to install the brake line the nut would not go into the cylinder. Checked with a vernier and the nut was mushroomed. Filed the offending lip off and all was well. Easy bleed and on the road again! Celebrated by washing the wheels.
