Looking good Ol. Ready for the DOVW??
Looks like an old Gasser class Dragster with those skinny fronts and tall suspension:thumb sweet!!
GASBNR ·
I'm not sure about being at DOVW, as there are 2 other events that day, Karmann ghia club of Vic in Fed square in the city!!
What a huge stuff up the Porsche 356 parade is the same day as well.
I might just bring the square out, or it will the first time I've missed DOVW in many years!!
With the 2332/2387on 48IDA'S in the back of the ghia could be old gasser
oval TOFU ·
What time's the 356 parade and where exactly?
Mr Bubble Head ·
Come on OL pull ya finger out !!!
nIck:beer
karmannghia60 ·
The 356 parade is at Como park on the same day. It cheeses me off and they do it every year
oval TOFU ·
So which one are you attending Raf?
GASBNR ·
So near, yet so far.
I was busting my arse to get the car to DOVW this Sunday,but time has the better of me.
PISSSSED OFFF!!!
So for how how many years I haven't made it to the show with a dub.....
Thanks to all those who have helped to date, cheers OL

Hey Ol, How narrow is the narrowed beam?
Nectar
GASBNR ·
Its one of CB 2" narrowed PUMA's.
Got it from Classicvw in Sydney then had it converted to RHD.
And the springs shortened and the tie rods, thanks Nathan.
jnr356 ·
pleasure ol
jack and i thankyou very much!
GASBNR ·
A little update,
with a little of time off work matter of hours and a big help from JNR 356.
I managed to get the car to the jamboree06.
First time on the road in 4plus years, with the whole front end new and not being used to 1960 brakes it was an interesting drive to the Jamboree behind Hertz and Mark in the Oval rag, especially when the 2 police bikes went passed.
Still totally shocked with coming away with people's choice award, Thanks
The car has now gone into winter hibernation with plans to get registered in the spring or possibily one of the new 90 day Club plates!!!
And dropped spindles with late bug discs and calipers need better brakes with a big motor planned.
GASBNR ·
another, thanks Josh
beerdoc ·

GASBNR ·

Thanks in advance!
