Hi, I registered a little while back but thought I better say gooday to all. Some may know me from the Ozrodders board and I am into Hotrods and Kustoms but also have a liking for early Bugs and Split window Kombis (must be the influences of HotrodMatt!).
We just bought our first VW at Ballarat Swap Meet. I was told it was 61 or so but it is factory (but faded) Bahama Blue with a red and white interior and no glove box. I gather this puts it b/w 1964 and 1966 (not 61). How do I tell exactly? Will try to get the numbers from under the rear seat but have to get all the parts out first! Pretty much complete, came with some spares, needs resto but been in a shed 15 or so years.
Haven't decided on a build style yet but have looked around this and other sites for ideas. Plan is to build it for my daughter as a cheap runaround that looks a bit different. I am a big fan of the 50s/60s look, love whitewalls, lowering, accessories etc. though also love the Hotrod styled dubs. Open to ideas and suggestions and how to pick exactly what year I have! Will link to some pictures shortly!
