hi all, ever now than then some one posts pictures of these kits on avdbs and they attract widely varying comments.

anyway some time ago Andy, a mate of mine, purchased the moulds for these kits. Unfortunately he passed away this week after a short battle with the big C.

His partner has asked me what to do with the moulds and my first reaction was dump them but given they are part of Aussie VW history I thought I would post on here and see if anyone was interested in them.

so if anyone has an interest or wants to see some photos then now is your chance. It is likely they will end up in the tip by this time next week. And I am sure Deb, Andy's partner won't be looking for big dollars.

this is a photo of the chop top version but there is also a hard top version as well.

anyway, just putting it out there......

Last I saw someone was trying to sell them on eBay for 20k starting bid...

Lou

Please CUT them up and scatter them in several different tips

so as they NEVER see the light of day and spoilt an origional VW

yep I'm with you Dave, just thought some of the strut guys might have been interested.........

Coincidence?

Agreed ... bin them all!

one mans junk is another mans treasure.

Now now, don't go picking on the minority that has struts

i'll take these off your hands... what the location? was Andy a fibreglasser?? i would love to have these as my dad was one of the original guys that built those moulds....

Great stuff turboty!!!! Pump out a heap more.....VW54 has an incurable desire to own one!!!! He's a closet Porega!!!!

NO way from memory i think they were designed n built around the corner from me in Sydney

i knew i should have fire bombed the factory all those years ago

i wont fit in a closet

lou is that the guy in behinfd the scrap dealer on anzac ave?there was a red conv there and my old rusty one from years ago?

Hi Steve, yep that's them. The cars are now with the scrappy. I think they were going to put the red one on fleabay but it is pretty rusty. I think it is a 59 model. Note this red one is not a porerra but a normal chop beetle. If you want to talk to them 3284 4996 and ask for Glen or Craig and tell them I sent you....

Turboty is right the pererra bodied car which was also red belonged to Dave and he also had a short wb J&S buggy as well. Dave took all his cars out a month ago but the moulds and a few other bits belonged to Andy.

I went up there is arvo and all the moulds have been sorted into groups. I will take some pictures over the weekend but looks like there are 3 or 4 sets and may also be a couple of variations, ie, slant nose/pop up[ light verses 911 style front.

Deb is happy to sell as a lot or as individual sets. She is looking for offers but this is a bit hard without knowing whats there. Anyway the funeral is tomorrow so nothing much will happend till next week I'd say.

hey lou,,
send all the best from all the VW community in this tough time...

also shot gun the porrera kit (911 style)...

Kev get back on track please

lol kev

any news on what is happening with this??

finally got around to geting some pics.

Deb is keen on all offeres either for the whole lot or seperate sets. Not sure what is there as there are heaps of moulds. I think there is also one finished set of front and rears but not entierly sure.

I'll load the pics as I took them and generally I think I took 2 per set. I'll try and answer any questions but it might be best to call me if you are interested.

PM me and I'll send you my number...
