Tried that one about a year ago Chris. No response from owners. Rear 1/4s are funked... would take alot to get it happy again. It's got some amazing moss on it though eh!

vwjon - November 3rd, 2006 at 08:39 PM

dub74, what parts have been swapped about? i'm interested! is it a yank import?
Wild1 are you sure it will make a rat ride? not a hoodride? or a barnride? (only pullin ya widget!!)


Wild1 - November 3rd, 2006 at 08:43 PM

oooh, you definitely need a good spanking!:smilegrin::kiss


Joel - November 3rd, 2006 at 08:50 PM

just alot of pissy little things i notice that probably dont mean much but anyway
if it was a yank imprt it should have a padded dash, highback seats, volkswagen badge not vw1500 yank 68-70s had tombstone tailights liek those but they were slighly bigger
and also theyre not yank blinkers on the front,
it wouldnt have those huge ones with parkers in the sides but the ones it should have are wider and the wrap around abit further
but alll that could be accdient repairs using aus stuff
black and white rims were 68 only

i despratley wanted a cab when i was young, who'd guess? LOL

CAFFINEPUSHERMAN - November 4th, 2006 at 03:57 AM

yes but this is victoria or mexico as you guys call it big wish if its the same car as far as i could tell she is the real deal too many genuine rag parts in it to be a fake it's a f#ckin bettle why would you bother tryiing to make a fake?not like it's a 356 or something worth real money just my 2 cent so who is this magic panel shop might get them to turn my ghia into a factory rag

He rang me after I put a note on it a while ago, He is in Far north Qld, and that is parked in front of his Parents house. He is going to restore it when he gets back, but I reckon by then, it would have rusted to death....Its so sad to see it like that....

Ps Its a factoy Cab, not a resurection Panels one.
