G'Day, thought I would drop a line here as I'm new to the forum.
I come from a bit of VWing family. My grandfather drove beetles as did my dad and later my sister. I'm lucky in that my wife likes cars and had a mark one golf for several years.
A bit over twently years ago my first car was a '68 1500 bettle. It had been subject to various abuses by the time I got hold of it and at that time was being used as a mobile tether post for a cow.
I spent a good chunk of time completely rebuilding it. It got a beautiful baked enamel paint job. In the process I learned a fair bit. The bodywork resto was well ahead of the mechanicals and for a while it had a 356 Porsche motor loaned to me by a bloke I met while doing the rebuild.
I've had a few other cars since then but that beetle still sits in my mum's garage and she takes it out for a run once a week.
I'm currently casually looking about for a ute of some description. Probably either a bay or a T3. So I have been doing a lot of looking and reading.
Cheers
