Very cool dumone! I remember your car from valla last vw spectacular (you had to travel far by the looks of your location details!). I love the scallops....stands out from the crowd!
sweet car where did you get your deck lid from i want one
That rocks! I wouldn't paint it either....

yeah the deck lid is carbon fibre, a truck backed into the one that is in the picture (hence the crappy fit at the top), so he had to buy me a new one which im working on now. i cut the sub frame of the top of a standard deck lid and sikaflexed it to the carbon wha la!!! when the guy hit it, the lid flexed inside out until it hit the carby and pushed the car forward a couple of metres (in gear with the hand brake on) the only damage was that the gel coat has stress fractures, but the carbon itself suffered no damage tough stuff!! its quite cool because now i can push my foot on the lid and show people just how flexible, yet strong it is
carbon fibre "W" lid.
sub frame and boot , white colour is sanding dust.
surely missed but never forgotten!
first ride 1991
Ahh
So that's who owns that 1.
Hey Damo
:beer
BTW
Don't change the paint scheme, it looks great the way it is.
I've seen it around and wondered who owned it,
then I passed u on the h'way and noticed the engine lid.
Put 2 and 2 together.
You have been busy
Thats a nice shed of yours too
What about those notchbacks - can we see more?
Retain the paint job and the individual appearance as it looks great as is
can you still get the decklids? I was told by Reub in Darwin that they were not getting made an more....any info on that? i'd certainly be keen on one.
there is going to be a new carbon fibre engine lid on ebay tomorrow... stay tuned

or so the saying goes with whitelines.
chatting to a couple of people 'bout these lately so here they are;front.
i had to lenghten the mounting plate used here (atop link bolt), so it looks like the shorter one that came with the bars will be spot on for use with
a narrowed beam(2 inch)
