Hey All!

Hey everyone!!!

I'm new on the block so hi

Long story short I bought my VW in NSW with no roof and drove it to QLD because when I bought the bug it was during the floods in NSW last year and I couldn't drive home(Melbourne) with out a roof. Had it repaired on the Gold Coast and then caught a plane back up with a few mate when it was finished and then did the road trip back to Melb with a roof haha.

Had such a great time on the drive. Was a great way to really first drive the bug 🙂

Enough about me!

I was sent to this forum by a friend in to find a mechanic for Beetles in Melbourne.

I have attached some photos of ride, throw up some of yours if you want!

Also are there any cruises that happen in Melb?

Cheers!!

G'day Jovan.
Welcome.
And congratulations on rescuing another butchered Bug.
You'll find a few diehards who hate them but don't worry coz their still cool.
Here's one of our projects...

Did yours have a Yellow Sunbug Conversions sticker under the Bonnet near the Build tag?
Here's my thread...

Hope ours looks as cool as yours when we get it back on the road.

Nice project you have there, good rescue 🙂

I had to buy a whole new roof and also pay for the mod plates for the sedan to convertible conversion. The bug was still registered as a sedan 🙁. I did all that in QLD as it works out the prices are cheaper than if I was to do all that in VIC.

Trying to find a solid mechanic down here in Melbourne. I'm getting the VW Magazine tomorrow and going to go through the specialists section and with some luck should be sorted 🙂

Drive safe 🙂

We got a roof but will get a new one made up once its done. Who did you get to do the work in qld. Looks good. Plan for ours is a similar colour to share on it and make it semi Baja.
