Hello there, i have an interesting dilemma;
Kikko is my bug, shes given me nothing but engine troubles, but when shes on the road i love her to bits.
Fatso is the famous purple kombi created by Greedy. it has been in the hands of a friend of mine for a while and now hes offering it to me for a very very very beautiful price. it is my dream car.
heres the big thing. do i keep on keeping on with Kikko the superbug, or do i spend a lot more money and drive Fatso the kombi?
ill get some pics of both for you to decide.
Daniel - my position resembles that of a bad daytime soapie.
well it goes t5his way buses are a lil slower than the bug and a damn site bigger....with this in mind fatso is one sweet ass bus 😎

Daniel...I know Fatso...he's a beautiful kombi
I have to see your superbug to make my final say on this one

shes a stocker, needs paint and its got a temporary engine (1300). i love her though. it wouldnt cost much to get her looking beautiful and going even better
probably shouldve said this, but if i were to buy Fatso, i would be in debt. i know that it isnt much for the beast, but its gonna cost me $8000 for fatso. thats $8000 i dont have, but i can get the money.
Pyro, the engine in fatso is supoercharged, so it goes a treat.
cant keep both, not enough space/money
how many chicks can u get in a bug (and how many would wanna get in it if its in a bit of a state :P) and howmany would fit/get into a kombi.... a shiny one?
second thoughts, keep kikko..... looks nice, and if you want paint? i can do that..... pyro has done the panelbeatin courses.... slap on a bbq and we'll get her schmick in a day or 2 after the HSC.... save the 8000 for an engine 😀
yeah boys we'll do ti keep kikko and if you want her painted throw a bbq and some beers and we could have her [painted in 3 days :P thats all of us workin 😀

pyro...Adz...n zac...Kroozin_Kikko needs some serious input here....that leaves me out as well...:duh
I'm about to go look at the pics of kikko...n girls in a kombi don't do it for me...sorry..but I understand where u guys are coming from 😉
It can be achieved in a beetle...
Fatso is so sweet...but it must come down to what sort of driving you want to do...even though I love getting away...99.9% of my driving is in the city...fast and looking for an easy park...I'd so luv a kombi though n become a gypsy
OK is there a VW image you aspire to....
Beetle inner city, laid back, don't really need to be anywhere fast, cruisin at my own pace..
Kombi out n about, cruisin and on d road to everywhere...freedom, surf, adventure...bed if I don't get home..room to move
PLEASE ADD!!
OK going to look at Kikko after that 😀
keep kikko......though i dont know about this bus.....post some pics

yeh we could paint it on the bbq day 😉 just pick a colour and get the paint :P

you guys have helped heaps! oh and for all the fellas keen to help me respray the car, the offers of compressors and guns, thanks but i think ill use my fathers spray booth (complete with spray painter) instead! we'll have the bbq at our factory... plenty of parki9ng, space to work, play, drink etc.
pics of fatso are here;

for other people its up for $9000, looks like its still up for grabs!
ive always wanted a head turning car, and even a ratshit vw does that. i like to cruise, but have a bit of pep when i need it, thus the supercharched kombi is appealing. but i also like the beetles as they are a little easier to drive and yes, they do pull chicks more than kombis (do i smell topic debate?)
if we do keep kikko, what colour will she go fellas? lets make this a joint effort!
Daniel - excited now
hey now thats kool your dad is a spray painter :thumb sounds like we have an even better venu kool 😎
colours lets see....is matt black out of the question....nah too many people already 🙁
how bout silver 😎 with white on the sides ?? that would looks sweet
Founding member of the C'town Rat-Pack
silver with white sides? hmm... how about CHROME with white sides!
a car, chromed all over! yummy AND shiny!
dads not the spray painter, the guy who dad hires to spraypaint all of our stuff is. hes a friend of the family, so chuck some free feed and booze his way and we'll have him for a day or two.
how about gloss black with bright orange tears/stripes/sides?
hmm sounds nice ill post a pic up of this sweet design i found the other day..its purple and white but 🙁 i reckon it would look sick in black and orange tho
Founding member of the C'town Rat-Pack
damn it pics are at my otha house ill post it up on sunday night 😉

kikko, i reckon leave her white, dark tint and along the side of the 1/4 panels either a vinyl or painted graphics, like a chequered flag only like a ribbon bout 6 inched wide flowing down the side and fading out. i can speak to my brothers best mate who is a signwriter for either the sticker or a template so it can be sprayed on .... like a stencil so its the same boths sides..... nice interior
either that or something similar in the Black and orange.... maybe a straight stripe with the orange?
you know a painter? how marvellous 😀 plenty or foom to work and tools to use 😀 this is getting better and better hehe
