Hey guys,

Since selling my beloved type3 square, i was in the in the market for another car. My dream VW has always been the 58 -> 60 beetle but it would be a little inpractical for me as I compete in Downhill MTB races and I need to move my bike around.

Because of that, I was looking for a late model kombi / transporter as my next car until I found this little guy.

It was something I never would have expected to buy but upon seeing it I couldn't help but put an offer on it. Its perfect for me.

As with all beetles, there are a few rusted areas but on the whole its turning out to be a solid car. As i'm at uni, It just has to last 2 years until I have some spare cash to fix the few issues it has ( Like a gastly interior & a few rust patches).

Here's the cars run down:

* 1960 body on 1970 Pan (front disks & 12 volt electronics)
* 1600 single port engine
* 14x7 Centrelines on the front
* 14x9/10 Centrelines on rear ( not 100% on width but there wide)

I went for a drive with dad on Sunday arvo so here are some pics of our 2 cars together:







Me (LHS) & Dad (RHS)


If people are interested i'll provide a run down of dads car as well.

Thanks and i'll keep you posted with any changes.

nice ute ya redneck! just kidding, looks kool. oldschool 70s

how's that gonna go in a CACA khana?

I've got some single port manifolds and carbs you might be interested in. PM me.

p.s. love your dads car, class act.

I dont think i'll be Khanacrossing in this one.

Thanks pete.

surely the od motorkhana won't hurt it though.

that is freakin sweet man. does it have drop down sides? i want one

No drop sides on it yet but i'm working on it.

Some nice drop sides with wooden slats. I dont think anything else will suit quite as nicely.

Thanks mate.

I was reading the top of your post thinking oh no... rust was mentioned and i crinbed and though, maybe its old and has crap tired paint and might look... well, bad. But, It looks totally amazing. It looks reallllly great, a great find!! I have a twin carbie kit that would suit you engine really nice (just need difff manifolds..) and would give you a bit more responce, if your not so cool with standard gear....
Anyway, I totally dig it.

was it on ebay/autotrader if so i saw it in randwick once almost broke my neck off checking it out

Thanks guys.

Unfortunately I'm not really in the market for some new intake components at the moment.

I need a new gearbox first otherwise I wont be going anywhere any time soon regardless of a stock engine or not. Thanks though. I'll have to keep it in mind.
