AUSSIE_MICK - September 13th, 2010 at 07:42 PM

Thanks Guys
OMClarke: 1916 Pobjoy with Dellortos and IRS
vw54: the colour is Nissan Midnight Blue Metalic
Will be taking it of the road soon for a narrowed and dropped spindle front end.


Paulc1964au - September 13th, 2010 at 07:47 PM

This is my favorite vw, seen it personally and looks better up close


Camo - September 13th, 2010 at 11:07 PM

Have to agree, a bloody nice clean and very neat Beetle. I recall seeing this at the Last VW Nationals and talking to Mick about it.

I also recall seeing it somewhere else recently ??? Oh yeah, out the front of my place when Mick dropped in to see my project. Mick even let one of his fans (my daughter) sit in the drivers seat :tu:

Still looks bloody great and especially since you have had it for 25 years and looked after it so well.

You must be very happy with the car.

Cheers mate, Kev

P.S. your joint in the background looks bloody nice also.

Hi Kev, yep i'm pretty happy just need to sort out the front end.
These old bones cannot handle the harsh ride. How is your baby going?

Thanks Jason, maybe when your old and grey like me you too will have something special.

Hi Paul,

You guys are more than welcome anytime. As to my car progress, I have been told the painting will start after the next school holidays. Have been doing little things her and there, and still buying parts.

Look forward to meeting you and Rosie one day :)

type3vw - September 17th, 2010 at 06:01 PM

AUSSIE_MICK - September 17th, 2010 at 07:50 PM

Easy, wheel spacers available at most auto stores.


DieSchnelleKafer - September 17th, 2010 at 07:51 PM

AUSSIE_MICK - September 17th, 2010 at 07:53 PM

There is a post somewhere on this site for seat belt mounts, do a search it should come up.

Craig S - September 18th, 2010 at 09:47 PM

This is one seriously sweet car.

What sort of seats are those, and I take it that you had the covers redone?


AUSSIE_MICK - September 19th, 2010 at 06:40 AM

The seats are Sheel out of an Escort RS2000 with new leather.
