Shrek ·
This is Shrek, my pride and joy. He's a bit ugly, a bit tatty, but he's great. Born the same year as me, 1976, I think he's unique, but only because I haven't seen another one like him yet!
He's even got more mod cons than my house (gas cooker and microwave for a start!)....

twoguns ·
well here goes. this is not my first, i have owned many but i scoof at those who live in their past glories, so i wont want to do the same. this is our 62 splitty. pride of the fleet for the moment, and driven hard every day every where... discs all round, 17s, good stereo, nice motor, safari's and a wicked stance
twoguns ·
our JnS. bugsie is a combination of my lady's desire for a convertable and for me to yet again put myself in a place of true fun... gret little ride, and has a tendancy to lift all four paws
twoguns ·
whooop! nifty neville the 72 'fatchick' notch. this is the man. for when the moment hits and you wanna be somewhere and not have the fuss, except for that from a true vw enthusiast, then you go for nevilee. sweet. hmmm does anyone like the rims?
twoguns ·
now this is new. and i gotta say is a neat little get from A to B. is a little freaky when you jump from the splitty into ths ol'gal. wiht the baby drums all round and the stonkin 1200. it has the shite. best thing is scootin' aorund and watchin the locals trying to find the indicators. god damn i love semaphores.
twoguns ·
now we gettin into the new generation. this is scarlett. there will be more on her soon, when she is rego'd and cruisin'.
[Edited on 29/6/2004 by twoguns]
twoguns ·
and last but by no means least. i present, lois. very early in life. but as in superman... she needs saving. work has progressed a long way and if anyone desires a better look, drop in to CBB and take a peak for yourself...
type3kid ·
hey frenzix, still love the rat, especially after seein it in the fles.
twoguns, nice fleet man...you gonna be adding any more to it anttime soon?

VDUBXTC ·
This is Bens 56 Oval
It runs a fuel injected 2.8ltr type 4 motor, linked up to a porsche 5 speed box..
It's got a narrowed front beam, IRS rear, porsche wheels, 4wheel disc brakes and it has a full custom trim.
Anyone going on the DNVK cruise on the 4th of july will most likely get to see this thing in the flesh.
Its a realy nice car.

ducky ·
man there are some very sweet rides in that lot, twoguns I want the number for your financial backer I dream of having that many cool cars
Klaack built 1641 with mild internals. I loved the car, wish I hadn't sold it but I didn't need a third car. I'll build another one one day.
Boozer ·
Possibly the most recognisable baja in Aus or at least QLD is Dozer (it likes to push sand:thumb). 62 bug, mostly standard , stock worn 1500 (i think) and with a bit of luck should be getting a cut and turned disc brake front end out of the country buggy this weekend. I love her but am already planning a successor.
frenzix, thanks mate. It came through on my machine here. Sorry for the stuff up and thanks for the Fix.

matara ·
Here is our little group of lovelies:-
61 Karmann Ghia that will be going soon now we have a 356!
Suzi's notchback - original condition low miler 1500S
71 Bay Window Microbus - nearing completion
61 Karmann Cabrio - soon to receive a turbo engine and Porsche brakes/17' wheels
65 Devon split - all the way from the UK across Africa and my daily driver/bub hauler
58 Porsche 356A - slowly getting there.
We just had a baby 6 months ago, and bought a new house, so apart from the daily drivers most projects are on hold for a bit!
Oh! and I nearly forgot, my first beetle that I still own. Its in Ireland with my folks and gets driven when I visit, and being green my dad uses it in the annual St.Patricks Day parade.
All are runnning, driveable and see regular daily driver use.
Cheers
Steve

This is my 57 Panel, prostreet box, 2180 with Porsche conversion. It's an ex Termite and pest control van with original logo's
Second is my 57 Oval, about to get sprayed Flat black. It's no longer on that pan.
Also have a 66, but only bringing the van and oval back.

Have some rivieras, porsche headlights, 45 dellortos, a little 1640 (to drown on the dellortos: have choked them severely), and an empi gtv wheel to finish it off. Going to make it clean, low and hopefully classic

Hey Mick058, Love the car, the whole thing is just right. The colour, the stance and the balance between the front and back wheels is perfect. And don't you just love Reub-revheads understatement "EJ20t and a few other mods"😀

Here is a fairly recent pic of Cymbi (full name cybidium meaning orchid) She is a little untidy but then so am I. It is not just dogs that match there owners
trickysimon ·
Sorry kombivw, can't help you. My uncle mixed and matched the red until we found a shade that we liked.
I can tell you that the black is "Satin" metallic off an old Holden Rodeo.
