Hey,

I've been after one for a while now (beauty is in the eye of the beholder)

There was a Porrera (the hardtop) for sale as a project in Bris, think it was on carpoint or carsales but I can't find it.

Good luck!

Hey,

Thanks for the replys. The black one has sold on ebay (and was in WA..) The white one has a stuffed soft top, and isn't with $5k IMO. Maybe they will relist at a lower price (maybe sell the mags separately) and I'd think about it. No Bids on it.

I saw the porrera, a workmate of mine rang the guy up and it was already sold. Not really what I'm looking for anyway though.

Cheers

1, they look U G LYYYYYYYYYY
2. they Leak
3 they sqeak
4 they rattle
5 they leak
6 ther not a real VW so only my opionion some one must luv them
7 i dont think the molds are still around so if you crash the fibre glass lots of luck with repairs
8 the body flexes due to no roof and teh strength of the roof gone
9 no true VW enthusiasts likes them
10 did i mention they Leak
11 no return on your money
12 ASK why the person is selling the car in the first place




there the same as a chop top beetle yukk

Sorry i carnt my any love in me when it comes to Poragas just trying to enlighten someone new to the marque

And all my friends encouraged me to buy a VW back in 1968

Fair enough, you're a lucky man to have such supportive friends.

BTW, the moulds for the Porerra/Poraga are still around, they were up for sale a couple of months ago on ebay, along with a complete body of each version.



...no one bought them. :blush

VW54 thats harsh man ...... MY PORAGA DID NOT LEAK and it had no flex as it had thick chassis rails

and eveyone i ever saw personally loved my poraga

I only sold mine cause I had to spend thousands on my explorer ...
my poraga got bought by a car yard in geraldton shame really $2550 plus shipping would of been cheaper then the white one on ebay which also has no front lense on drivers side indicator which I had plenty of spares for ( but i gave them away with the car)

still a poraga lover

BTW i paid $1200 for mine under a year ago

Hey,

Thanks for the reply fenrayer, I was thinking about bidding on yours, but I thought the shipping would be a hassle..

That white one has the missing lense, dunno why they had a picture without it. Be interesting to see if they relist at a cheaper price.

i have a porrera project car you can have cheaply

There's a silver one at VW &Volvo 07 3276 8714 ask for Ted--dunno whether they're selling it or not just saw it there today.

thanks for the tip BASHOdi - i'll give them a ring in the morning

Damn - it's not for sale, he just bought it recently. The hunt continues...

I sent you a U2U rexy.

It's a "maybe", depending on price and what year it's for. I'm assuming one wouldn't cut a hole for the external fuel flap for later beetles, there would be a different poraga kit to suit. It's rather get one suited to a later model beetle.

my other half was hell keen on rexys porrera but it was gonna cost way too much to ship it over
supriseed he still got it !!! whats wrong with people these days just no taste lol or sense of adventure :bounce
Sharon

I dunno about taste, I am afterall a TISM fan

lol and i like new kids on the block :puke

rexy I've sent you another U2U

How do you double the value of your poraga? Put fuel in it.

Stop it. Might as well fit a cardboard box to some braces, attach a paper plate on each corner and run around the local Westfields shouting DAK DAK DAK - people would laugh less atchya.

(the above is entirely bollocks and just having a joke as is any VW enthusiasts right when the word Poraga is mentioned)

Hmmm, I might make my own poraga style kit out of papier mache

I'd call it the "CCC"

I'll beat vw54 to it and say "It would leak less"

looks like the poraga and porrera molds are up on ebay :
