Already been there, don't just check it out - bookmark it!
Great to find somewhere with Aussie paint info too. Site looks like early stages should be lots more to come.
Well done.

I do know that at the Volkswagen Australasia factory at Clayton in Victoria was making Beetles, type 3s, type 2 kombis, Datsun 1600s [live axle model][IRS imported only]
Mann trucks and Mercedes Benz trucks....
At the factory was a large paint dipping Vat....
in which whole cars were dipped... and trucks...
except the Datsun 1600s - they were not dipped...
I was told this recently by A VW trained mechanic who lives a few towns away and saw this happening at the factory the day He visited it.... He is now retired...

No live axle Datto 1600s built at Clayton, Lee. The live axle wagons were imported
