First Blue, my 59 that I've had for about eight years (most of which it has lived in a shed in a very sad state, I restored it about a year ago for the 50th anniversary cavalcade in tas..

The bus is a 69 that I got off an old couple who had it since it was a year old, they bought it off a school who used it as a school bus! I have some flat 4 sprintstars that will be going back on soon, then it needs a bit of a drop.........

Thisis my latest toy a one owner 69 square, I bought it off this forum actually.......
It needs some work but it's cool and I love it!:thumb
62deluxe ·
hopefully one day it'll look like this.......
62deluxe ·
Blues original 36hp
62deluxe ·
Does anyone know how i caan make the pics smaller and clearer?
Me not real computer literate:o
62deluxe ·
There are more at home as well, the 62 bug that is pieces awaiting its Golde sunroof instal and the 53 oval which will get the full German look/hotrod treatment...
Too many projects too little time (and money!) 🙁
Oh yeah BIG THANKS to Desert moose who showed me how to post piccies
:beer
pyr0 ·
the pic's look clear on my pc 🙂 mind you ive been on for like 22hours now so it could be my eyes:jesus
65busser ·
Something about a 59. Aint she SCHWEEEET??? Nice fleet in fact.
62deluxe ·
Sorry the pics are clear I guess, Just pretty grainy compared to the one I got off thesamba.
barls ·
it would be your digital camera thats give the grainy pics
62deluxe ·
Yeah I love the 59s too, Early features like the semaphores, steering wheel and 36hp motor etc but with a look of their own.😎
62deluxe ·
It's not the camera, I've got the beach pic as my desktop and it is perfect, it's a 4 meg camera.
The photos had to be resisized or something to get them on the site I'm using to post them, I think that is the problem?
barls ·
it could be, i forgot earlier cool cars man
62deluxe ·
Thanks mate. Buggered if I know myself, oh well big grainy pics are better than none I s'pose.:o
65busser ·
It'll be to do with the size of the pic you're taking. If you take them on the lowest quality/size, they will come up better if posting on the net. Not an expert and don't know why. I'm sure someone here can explain it. Were the pics taken on a high quality setting/resolution?
boersch ·
Most likely 'cause the pics are massive and high quality, when they are posted they are shrinkeded down thus the lower quality. Just resize in an image editing program like photoshop/paint shop pro and it shouldn't be a problem.
Robo ·
Nice collection, and looks like they have a nice place to live too!
I just love the look of the 36 hp engines, truely a work of art!
Your a lucky man.
Rob...😎

Hey man, back to the topic, you have got some sick rides there, you are right about the bay it needs to be slamed, I reckon airbags are the way to go... then you can roll into shows and drop it on the ground.
I really like the square... I woulndn't mind doing on, they make a phat little wagon, what have you got powering it?.
:thumb
ikube ·
what a collection ~ .... the square looks cool! u can do it !
[Edited on 4-8-2004 by ikube]
62deluxe ·
Thanks guys!
You're right Robo the 36 is a beautiful thing, I'm in the process of converting it to twin carbs, I've got the manifolds ( using two stock carbs) and I'm making up my own linkages with rollers bearings etc, pretty much a copy of the old Riechart kit. I've got a NOS Fram filter set-up too so it should look pretty schmik + go a bit quicker!
The square only has a stock 1600 with Kymco ceramic coated extractors on it at the moment (thanks Chris).
The bus would be cool with airbags, only one problem I know bugger all about them and I'm in Tassie so I doubt anyone else would either!
Dropped spindles would be nice though...........
62deluxe ·
OK I've tried to make things a bit clearer!
62deluxe ·
This is an old pic before the rear lowering and the new motor/exhaust.🙂
62deluxe ·
One of the local celebrities;
62deluxe ·
65busser; Yeah I took the pics on the highest quality, that would probably do it. I'll take a low res one tomorrow and try it. Thanks for the advice.😎
byronbus ·
Sweet collection, I love the type 3 especially...Rego in tassie cheap?
62deluxe ·
All but the bus are on SI plates which is less than half the cost of normal rego, the only conditions are you have to have one vehicle fully registered in your name and each car has a log book which has to be filled in before each trip, you have 52 trips per year.
Bargain.😎
Midlife crisis ·
Very Kool!~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
62deluxe ·
Thanks man:P
byronbus ·
Nice, NSW rego is so expensive...looking good, any more pics of the type 3?
62deluxe ·
I'll take some more pics of the square when i get it back from getting its new motor and its butt lowered. I'll try them on low res on the camera.:duh
byronbus ·

Hey T54 which one?
The bus and the bug are both Tas vehicles and the square is one owner fron Melbourne.......
That is a REALLY sweet square BTW, hopefully mine will come out looking like that one day....
What year is it?😉
bajachris88 ·
Very nice collection indeed mate. Congrats.
Oh, and I luv those front seats on the bus. Got any photos of the beetles interior?
🙂
62deluxe ·
Here's some more of the bay and the square...
You'll have to excuse the mess in the background, only just finished building the new shed, still got the drive and double carport to go, oh and the new fence, gates, garden blah blah blah blah blah........
Here's one of the bus seats for those that asked.
Here's one of our recent trip to Victoria. That's a 53 floorpan on the roof of the bus. My business partner has a 62 ragtop on the trailer. How many times can we get the logo in one shot!!! LOL
62deluxe ·
here's the square in the soon to be gone old driveway....
62deluxe ·
In the part built shed, no shelter yet!
The KdF shed;
Some of the collection;

hallph ·
Haven't met but i've talked to you over the phone, i bought those window seals and inner door pull handle off you 🙂
62deluxe ·
Ah now the penny drops!!
The seats are made by Cobra in the UK, they're comfy as.
We can source these for anyone interested.:thumb
pete wood ·
Got those seats in my buggy in black vinyl, very comfy. Like the interior. Love ya cars and ya shed. Man I like my shed and its only half that size.
