Meet Evelyn my 71 Superbug
AVW71 - October 15th, 2009 at 01:07 PM

This is my 1971 Superbug that my dad, Brett Brackley from Brackley Bodyworks in Brisbane, build for me earlier this year.
He has had her for quite some time and was previously used as a bush basher on my dads land. When the time came that i was ready for a VW this is the one his chose due to the later running gear.
My brother is my personal mechanic and he has fitted a sports exhaust to her, rebuild the carbi. She recently got overhauled at Leons motors to fix suspension, engine mounts, gearbox seal etc.
As a gift to myself i got her custom plates this year "AVW71" (which means Angi's VW 1971)
As i am an alternative pinup model in Brisbane i am hoping to use Evelyn in a couple of upcoming photoshoots, so once i have some nicer pics i will post them :)
thanks guys

Welcome Angi

I am a fan of Supers.
Mine is a 75L.

For an ex-paddock basher it has certainly came up well

Hope to see more pics of your car

Hi Angi,

and welcome aboard. Looks like the relatives have done a great job with the car.

In addition to what Bizzare said (below), I also look forward to seeing more photos of your car and you :rolleyes:
