G'Day all,
Here's my first post! Thought i'd show you my 65 Squareback just before I started stripping it down. I bought it last year after a 10 year period of no VWs (my last was a 69 Fastback, shouldn't have sold it!) All that's happened so far is the BRMs & lowering. She's in bits at the moment undergoing a little tidy up. I'm going to go for an Empi GTV look C stripes & all! I'll keep the mechanicals pretty stock & repaint in the original turquoise (haven't seen any other T3s in this colour so far) I'm hoping to be back on the road sometime in summer, time & dollars permitting.
I'll also let you guys know that I own Sherriffs Mini Cars in Parramatta, so if you're looking for any VW models (or anything else) I'll see what I can do. I'll also give any Aussie Veedubbers a 10% discount on anything you buy. So please feel free to ask for anything!
I'll stop blabbing now, hope you like my baby!
Chris
(hope the pic comes up, I've never done this before!)

Nice ride Chris, love the number plates, get the newsletter everyweek, can you post some pics of the lowered splits in the shop, the revell model and the matt black one, the are very cool...welcome to the forum

Love the square! On the model front, you haven't come across the minichamps one millionth edition beetle have you. I'd kill for one!! They were a special boxed edition no. 430 052103. Have only seen one pic of them on net and can't find one anywhere, it's about the only minichamps vw I'm missing. Love some insider help!!!

Thanks for all the good raps on my car! It's good to get feedback from guys who appreciate VW's. Most of my mates are wondering why I'm into oil dripping, slow old cars, but what do they know! I'll keep you posted on my progress.

62deluxe - I don't even have the millionth edition myself!! You never know something may appear, I'll let you know. Also have you seen the new Minichamps 1951 Bug?? Awsome model, has openeing decklid & good detail. Only problem is that the crank pulley is on the generator & vise versa!

Byronbus - here's the pics of the models you've seen, plus another new addition!
enjoy!

revell 1/24 samba (with a few mods)

:thumb wahoo, that is sweet...is that the revell model?

cararama 1/43 62 panels (modified)

revell "van man" reissue of 60's kit

Yeah baby...do you still have the one with the speakers in the back...

you have u2u...

that squareback is delicious

The Black & Red 23 window is the one with the subs etc in the back, they don't photograph well though!

Sweet, i love that setup

Just dug this out of my camera, here's how the square looks now!

Got any nice early square models man? cos i aint got jack and i'd love one....
Steven

very nice looking square back. it looks like its coming along nicely!!! Very sweet and keep up the good work and posts!!!

also love the bus models they look so good i wish i had them!!!!:bounce:bounce

luv your square it will be great when it is back on the road

my fastie looked like your does no guards about 2 weeks ago makes them look very sad

sikdub, nothing at the moment but I'm trying to dig up some Minichamps 1/43's. I'll try & get a pic of one of my models. It's been lowered with the closest wheel I could get to BRMs, looks cool. I'm going to paint it the same colour as my car later on.

Midlife, Thanks! I reckon they look kinda cool! Anyone for a highboy style square??

what is a van man worth (are they still available)? do you have anything in the way of late model bay window kombis? (1975 onward?)

I'm trying to get meore of the Van Man, should know next weekend, they're $40. There's nothing readily available in a bay yet, but Minichamps is planning a diecast on in 1/43 scale. Maybe this year.
