My latest project complete and finished. Ready for another!

more pics

Wow... how clean is that!?!!

very very nice

just needs slamming

that is quality :thumb

Yeah...that's real nice.
Starting to like these things more and more.
What's different visually between yours and later ones?

THE MOTOR IS STOCK!!!! :jesus


Seriously nice!!:thumb

so will this be for sale?

Very straight Leigh. Do you have any before pictures to show the change? I wich my 71 lowlight panel would turn out as good but alas I think it has had too hard a life.


brendan

lovin it, how did you manage historic rego with empi fives? thought it had to be totally stock with only very minor changes (like 6volt conversion in old beetles)

the difference is the indicators are below the headlights instead of on either side of the front grille like the later ones

I do like early bays, wouldnt mind one, and looks unreal lowered

Just started rust work on my 69.
Same as yours too.
They are the best bay I think.
Go the white dash bays.

very nice bay!!

Hi,

Sorry don't have any pics with me at the moment to show the change. It was a one owner car which mean't it hadn't been butchered like so many have. The middle seat was pulled out on day one and kept in a shed. Every seat is original, only the back seat has a small 4 cm tear at the top. The rest are as new.

Historic rego allows period accesories, which means you can grab a hot vw's 1970 etc and scan the pages for accesories of the era. Bingo empi 5 spokes!

Thanks 'two guns' for picture, will keep. But I don't want to change the suspension. Everything is stock except for the radio. Even has the original dealer sticker on the back window. 'Youngs of Collaroy'.

I'm not sure if I'm going to sell it on not at the moment. Below is a couple of pictures of my daily driver, the beetles been retired to the shed . Once again lucky enough to pickup a very clean one owner 1977 microbus with all the trimmings.

Cheers Leigh

77 bus

no worries. would like to see more interior shots...

What colour is your 69 painted?

I am doing up an ealry bay also and am looking into colours at the moment

JB

Hey Leigh that lowered pic looks like the bus has 10 F A T men sitting in it hehhe

Yes its a great transformation as i saw the car the day he got it.... took a few months... now its Garage time yeah har...

Looks very nice Leigh :thumb

Hi

Well done, another VW saved from the crusher. His neighbours must think he is seriously VW afflicted, he has the 2 kombis and a really nice 1303 at his house, then just about every visitor to his house drives a VW and when the new garage is done he can bring home his 59 bug, what a household.

Yer Rhys winter project is finally finished. We finished it two weeks after Sawtell. Wished we'd been able to cruise up there in it. Drives very very nice. Sits on 110 very nicely.
Summer project is the house. Thinking a great winter project for next year is inject the 77 bus, have all of the parts, but just need the time.

:bounce

cheers
