So will we be seeing it in at work on Monday?

Pete isnt the real question "will Dave be doing any work at work on Monday"

Nice car Dave, I luv that Blue on Beetles.

SWEEEEET!
Its good to see another VW on the road..
Good job Dave!
:thumb:thumb:thumb

yeah this one has taken some time... but its been enjoyable,,,, did all the little things over the years untill i had the funds to get the major body work done.

I would like to thank Qantas for there generious donation to the fund.

And Carlton n United.... :puke

That pic dosent show the true colour...

Hmmm, good point Grey57.
The question has been asked several times before" is this a chemical manufacturing plant or a VW workshop?".
Looks like we have to update the "work carpark shot" Dave. Thae Sea Blue will add a nice contrast to the collection..

Thats my cars twin!:bounce

Shazzas the same colour only a touch lighter so we solved the mystery shes

SEA BLUE:bounce

Didnt i tell you that in the other thread ???

I had the craps with my rear screen glass... it had a stain on the glass which i though wouldn tshow up... but out in the sun light it did ... so this arvo i kicked the screen out n got another screen from the archives.. much betterererere....

Its just that i have spent the last hour fitting the staino chrome trim to the rubber... and its driving me made sometimes those trim windows can take hours.. and besides i heard the putor calling

LOVE IT
it is a rag i can see right !
got any pics with a better colour refference dave
if i owned a beetle i want it to look like this one ! with me pushing the peddals !
:bounce

Is it a golde?, I thought they stopped before '65?

Anyway, looks great Dave love the colour.

Goldie ragtop sunroofs for Beetles stop in Australia in May 1966

I have an origional VW parts catalogue that shows it...

I will be taking some pics next week so hopefully they will show the colour better. Yes i have all the reference numbers for this colour.

good one Dave, will certainly add to the colour in the carpark.

Well I am in the carpark today so heres some better Pics

Red Interior

Origional German Square Weave from der Fatherland.

Very shiney Dave, nice work.

yes thanks bloody cameras still dont do the paint colour justice....

Oh well there better than the first pic.

That is a fine car!!!!! The Blues that came out on Vw look great, esspecially with a great big hole in the roof!!!

Cheers N!

I drove it 35 odd miles this arvo with the heater on full and the sunroof open


The heater is stuck but only until i can get underneath...
But the roof was excellent no noise you could hear the engine purring sweet....

where was my left hand ... :cussing

Hey dave ur car looks awesome, now im embarressed to show u my car.

But for $800 i cant complain:kiss

Mate never be embaressed to show yr car....
At least it a VW.

I noticed you have a nice reverse light on the back!
Cool, nice touch.
Who did you rag roof?
As I`m about to recover one myself soon.
If you can email me some info,that would be neat.:thumb

The cover material is from Chucks Convertables in LAX and is Mercedes Material

I fitted it material to the sunroof which took about 6 or 7 goes to get it right and stretched out to fit the corners correctly.

And of course its a Genuine Goldie Sunroof, fitted Standard .

them pictures done it more justice hope to see this beast at the show dave where sik of ur orange smoothy bring on sea blue resto!!!!
