There’s about 60 or so little things done, that you dont really see. It’s a combination of ideas from about 15 years or so.
I just keep writing down the ideas and adding to my list. Unfortunatly I had to wait until I had enough cash and incentive to do the job.
I picked up most of them from looking at other modified cars at the VW Nationals

Pat remember the floormat i was glueing up when u were in Syd, It turned out pretty good will haveto add some pics next week to my 65 Resto post.
Pat ·
I new it wouldn't take you long.
I look forward to seeing more pics of your '65. I've been looking around for rubber mats for my car, and I've found some info on an english company that reproduces them, I don 't know if they're the same, but at least they're right hand drive, I'll see if I can find their details.
It looks like I'll be coming up to Sydney in early June, so I might get to check out the '65 in person.

Nice Dave, nice.
Good to see you aren't held down by any style.
What donkey have you got in the back??

Its only a shitty old 1500 SP that i got of a wreck on the street.
Fitted a new clutch, replace a cylinder head with a S/H one , new seals ... got a sonic extractors and a 009 runs like a swiss clock... and getting 35MPG round town flogging it a bit as well.

YEs i suspose the GENERAL does have some f good point sometimes
I wish they useda compatable wattage globe ... u have to wore and extra VW wattage globe in series for the front blinkers in orfer to get them to blink at the same rate as the rears.... BUGg AR a little extra work ... BUT nice blinkers hey
Unity-28 ·
Dave, I know the car is Orange, but Did you think to use the clear ones, so that they dont stick out as much, or was that the plan?
XXX-1.8T ·
thats what i was thinking Nectar
but i think the plan is to have everything orange
jenz58 ·
cos it's d Orangeee Smmmoooothiieeeeee......
Well I called it d Orange Roughie once...buggar.... I blame it on Freud
Nectar he might crack d whip on you I'd run..like me n costa
They are very sweet blinkers though n a bit of work in getting the bumper smmmmoooootheeeedddd like that
...aren't blinkers normally orange.......I love Nellies (Jim's) clear glass though she's like a jewel...it matches her pale blue paint nice
vw54 ·
Yeah ive thought about clears,,,,, but like the Orange better
LOL nectar ???
Anyone after my old front bar ???
Unity-28 ·
Dont et me wrong they look sweet. I suppose clear would look better with a chrome bumper, so that you really couldnt see them till they were blinking....
N!
vw54 ·
I carnt use the clears as someone else has them fitted....
The Orange will stand out better in the traffic hey
