Hi All,
I'm new to veedubs, just bought the attached. Drove it home from Victoria last weekend and now have the interior out to protect the pan, etc.
I'm learning a bit from the forum, thanks.

What model Bill ? 1970 at a guess..
I love torsion bar beetles... very nice looker... looks like You picked a good one Bill... Now buy 4 litres or some spray cans of Fish oil & spray pour it everywhere, & You won't get any rust where the fish oil goes... motorpro is a good brand. not too expensive either.. fish oil takes a while to dry and runs everywhere... unreal stuff...
Best Wishes

Is that SNOW in the background on yr trip home ??
Bill Daws ·
Guys,
Thanks for the compliments and offers of assistance, it's really appreciated.
I've just bought some Porsche wheels for it and will fit them on Saturday and take some more pics then.
For Dave - yes that is snow in the background on our drive home from Melbourne.

Bill Daws ·
Not too flash yet - just wait a couple of months and see how it changes.

Very nice Bill
Where in Sydney are you??
As for caps - how far out does the axle bolt and centre cap stick out.
You can always get some custom turned aluminium caps and then put a Porsche or VW / Wolfsburg crest sticker on it.
What wheels are they - 4 bolt Fuchs??
Very nice. Different too!!
Lee - i will ignore your last comment :P

Bill,
I have a yellow coil and a yellow alternator pulley....
Our cars must be must be related !!!! LOL😀😀😀
originally My generator pulley was red and My Coil had a chromed cover but I have changed to an Alternator & a different coil for a High Energy electronic ignition, both now yellow...

Schweeett......very nice.
I'm really enjoying looking at VW's, specially ones like this!:bounce
Bill Daws ·
Guys,
Thanks for the nice comments.
I'm in the Camden area of Sydney.
I've now found some centrecaps for the wheels, at the moment they're 3 spoke knock-offs with Wolfsburg decals. Will do until I find something better.

Hey bill.
was parked behind you at the show and shine at valla.
how does the narrowed and dropped front end ride?
I am interested in doing it to mine.
Lee.
Bill Daws ·
Lee,
yeah - I talked to your wife on the Sunday, I recognised her from your previous Avatar.
The ride is a little firmer with the lowered beam but nothing to complain about. I also lowered the back end 1/2 a spline so that the car is still level and that avoided the need to fit castor shims, so handling is still good.
I also fitted new shocks at the same time as adjusting the height front and rear so that the suspension wasn't in question.
Mike from Custom Bugs and Buses did the work for me, I can highly recommend them.
Good luck.
Bill
buzzbug ·
Thanks Bill.
it sits nice and thats what i aim for.
I'll just make sure that i keep my wheels like they are or we might start getting them confused.
