A few pics from today at the Shannons car show in Darwin which is a 2 day event.
Horrible pics by my average camera...yes, the interior is red...probably washed out by the intense spotlighting. Will post more when a mate takes some
for me tomorrow.
Dunno what your complaining about, that last photo looks stunning

Awesome dude! No wonder the car took out 7 trophies last time, and your effort with presentation makes all the diference. Look at some of the cars in the background... no effort made at all. Car parked and thats it!
yea man, looks like u didn't have much to complete with haha
That last photos a sure poster shot buddy, lovely indeed
Reub I hope that bog standard ride height Charade in the background of the first photo doesn't beat you.
cheers guys...
Apparently there are around 800 cars/bikes on display this year, which includes new car dealerships.
Display looked tops dude, very well done. That little bit of extra effort you put in really makes it stand out.
And only about 2 other dubs at the whole show.
One was part of the local Volkswagen dealership display, one done up as a mud racer, other than those two... I can't think of another.
haha mine was out in the car park
the VWRX better win peoples choice Reub
Some great pics here... http://www.zmit.info/gallery/darwin/shannons08/
presented well reub's,
love your work.
Tasty work man!
Where did you get your CF W decklid? I am looking around - have found a few places, but am keen to get a better idea of the quality of some of the
work.
Cheers.

from us.........no longer available to keep the club exclusive nice work Reubs.......... |
No need for hostility dude...was only a light hearted comment made by Dumone...
I got mine from VW parts. They aren't being made any more but you could get in touch with JVL Racing on the forum as he has the moulds.
One reason they weren't continually made I'm guessing was lack of sales...
Anywaysm good luck getting one
Great stuff as always Reub. I miss that show it's a great day.

pm stump (dont want to hijack this thread)
You have definitely put a lot of work into that car and it shows 10 fold. Very nice ride my man!
Looks fantastic, the effort you put in is amazing

This has to be one of the wildest bugs i have ever seen. The quality of work gone into this is fantastic.
Has to be one of the best chop tops around in any country
I'm an old school guy at heart ... but your custom package just about gives me wood !!
Excellent car Reub and the presentation looks spectacular.
Cheers guys Getting a response prompted me to update the original
photos with some I asked a friend to take. They give much better indication of real red over the orange that my dodgy digital camera took...
always sweet
Hey mate. I've visited this thread a number of times to look at your ride. Just gorgeous. I just wanted to throw that it because you mentioned you
were enjoying the comments and I didn't take the time to make one before. I just love the red interior. This is a seriously bold statement.
If I might ask - what is the set up there you have with your headlights? I really like the look of those surrounds with what I'm guessing is a sealed
beam lamp? Where did you get them?
hard to beleive its that same ratty black bug with the patched over sunroof from valla all those years ago
a credit to all the hard work u have put into it
It is an interesting comparision looking back at the car before I purchased it from Laurie...
These photos were taken by a mate who was on holiday in Brissie on the 3rd September 2002 when Laurie offered the car to me. To be really honest I
don't know what the hell I was thinking when I bought it... the build certainly was more then a bit of grinding, a bit of filler, paint and an
interior that is for sure!
Looks hot under lights!!!
Laurie had the design and you had the passion to see this mad , mad ride finished . Everyone has to start some where with there skills , Laurie just
jump in at deep end, Reub .
Volks World story came out great mate ! good to see your work being seen world wide , Cheers .
She was not pretty picture when you bought it. These pics were what i saw the last time I saw it before you bought it mate. Lotsa hard work that people will now see with these pics compared to what she looks like now.
