ORANGEEE SMMMOOOOTHIIEEEEEE
vw54 - March 28th, 2003 at 12:42 PM

Hi all

This is my Orange Smoooothieeeee

There’s about 60 or so little things done, that you dont really see. It’s a combination of ideas from about 15 years or so.

I just keep writing down the ideas and adding to my list. Unfortunatly I had to wait until I had enough cash and incentive to do the job.

I picked up most of them from looking at other modified cars at the VW Nationals

Pat remember the floormat i was glueing up when u were in Syd, It turned out pretty good will haveto add some pics next week to my 65 Resto post.


Pat - April 4th, 2003 at 02:20 PM

I new it wouldn't take you long.

I look forward to seeing more pics of your '65. I've been looking around for rubber mats for my car, and I've found some info on an english company that reproduces them, I don 't know if they're the same, but at least they're right hand drive, I'll see if I can find their details.

It looks like I'll be coming up to Sydney in early June, so I might get to check out the '65 in person.


s1fter - April 4th, 2003 at 03:48 PM

Nice Dave, nice.

Good to see you aren't held down by any style.

What donkey have you got in the back??


vw54 - April 4th, 2003 at 07:36 PM

Its only a shitty old 1500 SP that i got of a wreck on the street.
Fitted a new clutch, replace a cylinder head with a S/H one , new seals ... got a sonic extractors and a 009 runs like a swiss clock... and getting 35MPG round town flogging it a bit as well.
