Hi All,
I bought this up on Australia Day for my everyday driver. It's a 65 with late model pan, 1600 twin port and 16" Superlights. It also has its original salt n pepper interior and perf'd roof lining. Cant wait to get it home.
O'h and check out the update on my 54 beetle coming soon!

C'mon kids gather round,
there's a new sensation hitting town,
It's moving straight, low to the ground,
it'll pick you up when your feeling down.

Mate, I must admit that is one of the best type IIIs I have seen thus far. The combination of colour, wheel choice and ride height just make everything gel perfectly.

I am not a huge type III aficianado (not that I have anything against them - just not my cuppa tea), but this one truly rocks. Great stuff.

T54,

That is a superb looking square! I've never seen one with S'lites on it and judging by what this looks like there will be a few on the scene with the same wheels soon.

You should be wrapped!-W

Hi all, I dont know much about the wheels but they are one off's as he had to have them made and narrow the rear end to get them to fit, glad to have them though.

That sure is a gorgeous type III. I've never been a fan of those wheels but they look great with that colour and ride height.

wheels are 16x7s with 195s stretched on it has short axles off a early beetle the wheels had 5 or 6mm machined off the mating surface to give a bit of extra room when low
glad to see you got the car heath a great buy

Good to see you on here adam, hey any progress on the extra gearbox mount?
I thinking of assembling my 2165 with no crank, rods, cam and pistons to get the manifolds made and then putting it together just incase something happens like a stray bit of metal etc.
What do you think?

these wheels were very thick to start with so there is plenty of strength have done this plenty of times , some times even just 2mm helps
heath:
i have to make a mount for somebody else aswell so i"ll go into work tomorrow and make them
putting a dummy engine in is a good idea im doing the same on the new car
