There was a Porrera (the hardtop) for sale as a project in Bris, think it was on carpoint or carsales but I can't find it.
Good luck!

Hey,
Thanks for the replys. The black one has sold on ebay (and was in WA..) The white one has a stuffed soft top, and isn't with $5k IMO. Maybe they will relist at a lower price (maybe sell the mags separately) and I'd think about it. No Bids on it.
I saw the porrera, a workmate of mine rang the guy up and it was already sold. Not really what I'm looking for anyway though.
Cheers

Dude. Harsh.
It's obviously about love, give the man a break. I'm sure some of your friends gave you the same spiel when you decided to get your first VW.
Share the love

Sorry i carnt my any love in me when it comes to Poragas just trying to enlighten someone new to the marque
And all my friends encouraged me to buy a VW back in 1968
Fair enough, you're a lucky man to have such supportive friends.
BTW, the moulds for the Porerra/Poraga are still around, they were up for sale a couple of months ago on ebay, along with a complete body of each version.
...no one bought them. :blush

VW54 thats harsh man ...... MY PORAGA DID NOT LEAK and it had no flex as it had thick chassis rails
and eveyone i ever saw personally loved my poraga
I only sold mine cause I had to spend thousands on my explorer ...
my poraga got bought by a car yard in geraldton shame really $2550 plus shipping would of been cheaper then the white one on ebay which also has no front lense on drivers side indicator which I had plenty of spares for ( but i gave them away with the car)
still a poraga lover

BTW i paid $1200 for mine under a year ago
Hey,
Thanks for the reply fenrayer, I was thinking about bidding on yours, but I thought the shipping would be a hassle..
That white one has the missing lense, dunno why they had a picture without it. Be interesting to see if they relist at a cheaper price.

There's a silver one at VW &Volvo 07 3276 8714 ask for Ted--dunno whether they're selling it or not just saw it there today.
thanks for the tip BASHOdi - i'll give them a ring in the morning
Damn - it's not for sale, he just bought it recently. The hunt continues...
I sent you a U2U rexy.

So did I! If you're keen, wazzo, She Who Must Be Obeyed is happy for me to back off.
I would be stoked to help you build up this kit, with my albeit limited VW knowledge.

It's a "maybe", depending on price and what year it's for. I'm assuming one wouldn't cut a hole for the external fuel flap for later beetles, there would be a different poraga kit to suit. It's rather get one suited to a later model beetle.
my other half was hell keen on rexys porrera but it was gonna cost way too much to ship it over
supriseed he still got it !!! whats wrong with people these days just no taste lol 🙂 or sense of adventure :bounce

I dunno about taste, I am afterall a TISM fan 😂

rexy I've sent you another U2U

How do you double the value of your poraga? Put fuel in it.
Stop it. Might as well fit a cardboard box to some braces, attach a paper plate on each corner and run around the local Westfields shouting DAK DAK DAK - people would laugh less atchya.
(the above is entirely bollocks and just having a joke as is any VW enthusiasts right when the word Poraga is mentioned)
Loves a lolcat
Hmmm, I might make my own poraga style kit out of papier mache 😂
I'd call it the "CCC"
I'll beat vw54 to it and say "It would leak less"
😂
