Sitting on this for a rainy day... but business needs the cash flow....

Burnt/damaged but i think well worth saving...
purchase price, transport from QLD and storage means it owes me around $3500 so thats what i'm asking or near offer...!

Inspection highly recommended....
needs full resto but was a pretty good car pre fire...

Wish I had the time nice car with the roof

Late 72 or 73 ??

Yeah same here...

Yep 3point seats so 73?

I know the previous owner of this car. His wife is a VW mechanic (apprentice) so no expense was spared restoring it. I wish I'd known it was up for sale before it got shipped off.

Wow I owned this car around 14 years ago, the body back then was very rust free, still looks solid burn doesn't look to bad.

The brakes had two stud patterns ( also Porsche 5 x 130 ) done by previous owner to me, will also have a brace around the bell housing of the gear box and up to the floor above as I had a 2ltr engine in it.

I made the luggage bars for the rear window from a 76 Bay Microbus.

The Wagon was originally privately imported in by a Diplomat in Canberra .

When I sold it to a mate in QLD it had a Tlll taco in the dash, Tlll two pc consol and a 1600 engine.

Good luck with the sale, hope some will get it back on the road.

thanks Mike... i'm having serious thoughts of cancelling the sale coz i really wanna do this car...
all depends on how the trading ear starts off i guess

no console anymore sadly... and i haven't checked the hubs behind the rims so i'll do that...

would love to see pics if you have any?

was the 2ltr a type1 universal case bored out or a type4 kombi motor?

That's a really rare car with the factory roof new rear door and a sand blast collect the parts now

keep it for rainy day or until I get some spare time

don't remember you having it Mike

tried to buy this but u beat me to it! was a bargain!
cheers

I know I have a few picks somewhere, I'll dig them out.

I had the car for about 6 years, but it came along at a busy time, two kids n built a house, once the dust settled I had a change of mind, so I fitted a stock 1600 to it, put rego on it and sold it.

The 2ltr was a T1 with a Naismith offset ground crank n rods, with 90.5s it was around 1986 cc, sold that also

I only got to drive the car for a couple of days before it went to to QLD.

I remember the guy that Blue Slipped the car for rego saying I'll need a engineers cert for the hole in the roof, I said why its factory, he came back with no mate I know Volkswagen's n these never came out with a sunroof. When I produced a Tlll Bently book showing how to service a sunroof...... Guess what I got my Blue Slip.

Dave haven't you got enough cars in pieces ???

My younger brother had a white 68 wagon with a factory sunroof also, that also was a Canberra car.

wouldn't be surprised if the white one wasn't in Melb now too... if its the one i'm thinking of, sold for about $5500 a few years ago... (i wasn't in the position at the time...). have seen it since...

would love to see the pics... getting very itchy feet... : )

haha inspectors know best....!!

I know I have more, I'll find eventually, the first two are from when I bought the car, it came into work with carby problems and customer didn't want to spend anymore money on the car.

The third pic would have been when I registered the car just before I sold it.

pic's

This is pic's of my younger brothers wagon, first when he bought it with the hideous stick on graphics n 14 x 6 rims.

Then after I got the heat gun out n some stock 15's back on it.

Would be a great project.

Vollkommen Art in Melbourne have a fantastic later model factory sunroof, 2-toned squareback in their stables

thats it... the ultimate mate - i love George/Nicks square...!!!

making it hard to let go now...

Thanks for the pics Mike - I almost like they graphix on the white one.... reckon it could be the one in VIC now but who really knows... and the orange square looks great in its prime... hmmm keeper or let it go...

My brother lives in Canberra, bought the car in Canberra, had it for about 7 years, dropped off to me in Sydney for some work n prep for sale.

He then came back up to Sydney to take it to a VW show to sell the car, a guy from Canberra followed him into the show, saw the 4sale in the window n bought it as he pulled up. So back to Canberra it went.

Then some 6 or so years after one day at work I had a call from another VW shop in Canberra knowing I was linked to the wagon was wanting to sell me the car, as a girl was restoring the car n had run out of $ , I didn't have room for it at the time.

After that I had lost track of it, the factory seats were trimmed in a red velour, but maybe that had changed back to stock.

The Orange wagon.... If you have the room.... Keep It, cars with nice options like this are getting harder to find.

Save it!

This was mine - not that you can see the Golde sunroof too well, but trust me it's there - LOL.

Looks like a great wagon Paul... No longer in your hands mate?



I've still got this one if anyone is keen... Still at the end of a long list of things to do in my lifetime so happy for someone else to have a crack at it if they want ; )
If not can stay in storage for now....
