Here are a few pics of my latest project
It is going to be a king pin,swingaxle floorpan, 2L type IV engine with twin dellortos, bright green paint and orange bar work.
Graham

Anybody I know (not from here) would look at it and say "Wouldn't piss on it if it were on fire".

I look at it and say - "You lucky, lucky Bastard!" :P

My turn is coming I know it is. "Bastard!"

I'm in the market for a 4 seater - Anyone got one for the Bronze Family! To buy June - July.

What time frame is this project going to take you?
To what extent are you restoring it?
Post pic''s as you progress
One day hope to catch you on the dunes with it.
Brian



Bronze you might have to wait for a while before you find a four seater for sale.
Buy a fibreglass body and convert the Dog of War

:cussing

Hey graham......
Where does teh babyseat go?????
:bounce:bounce:bounce:bounce:bounce

This is how it looked when I found it :o

Brian, as far as the build up goes, I'm hoping to get it finished this year, and I'll have to rebuild everything.........
I wanted to go to the Minnie Waters trip but short of funds at the moment so I'll just have to listen to Andrews stories from this years trip, but if you guys do the run next year, we will head down with Andrew & Eileen.
Will probably catch up with you at Valla if you make it, just look for the Orange Baja Bus with a forum sticker on it.

Lyle, the baby seat goes in the Kombi.......

HE's cleaned out the shed!!!!!
Looking good!

Hi Graham
I know where a manx is and it is in the some condition as your's when you first found it,I would like to make him an offer but don't want to make a fool out of myself.
It has no floor pan as far as I know and is an original manx, can you give me any idea of what to offer him.
Hope to see more pic's of your's as it progresses.
Any info would help thanks.

Terry???? Yes......???this is the colour scheme I have been telling people for months. I don't understand the question?

CountryBuggyKid, I found mine in the condition you saw and paid $500 for the lot, I then sold off some stuff i didn't need for $250, so $250 is all it cost me. I don't know what the rules are in Tasmania but I'd see if it has any modification papers or previous rego papers to make registration easier. I'd offer him $500 and go from there.
Graham.

Nice to see the sticker on the windscreen already!!!!!!!!!!:thumb

This is the Same Combination Brad has been talking about for the Mega Manx for the last 12 months or more....

Great minds think alike...... I got my idea from a VW book that i have had for a few years......was just waiting for the manx to come along

These pics just don't do the colour justice.... Its called "Bright Kermit" and its bright!!

and another

Looking good, glade to see those Kombi Roof racks of mine came in handy ..
Look much better in your junk pile than mine........

Amazing what a difference a coat of paint makes.

Looks good, better work fast to drive it to the AGM though. You might need this::sandrine

Green Is Nice!
Bright Kermit?
Funny how Bright Green cars are "IN"
Looks good graham!
Will see it in the flesh on saturday...
Want me to bring the camera?

The only way the manx is making it to the AGM is towed behind the kombi.....magic dust or no magic dust....hehehe

Tazz, yeah bring the camera, will have to get some better pics than I have a the moment.

Have faith. from this 498 holes.

having faith to this. No holes!

Faith, Try again

I didn't count the holes in mine, but there were heaps, I spent ages fibreglassing the holes....this included a big hole in each rear guard for the donaldsons as well as the front guards where the bodgy indicators were
But I'm finally finished now....

KO...
will do!

Couple of pics....
