This is my second VW the first was a 62 beatle in 1968,my first car what a disaster.
the Sabre is a restoration project with a 1600 I think,car and engine have no numbers

excellent - will be good to see this on the road

thanks Ill get more pics tomorrow

Did you find this in Tassie , oh and the XA coupe tail lights suit the car nicely

Mmmm - drag car. Nice and light!

I picked it up at ballina with a rolls and a 924 porsche with XY0471 Plates

not drags but thinking about hillclimb

wiring was wrapped and taped here

rewired

tucked away to soon become invisible

a bit to tidy up

this was a night mare some else had started rewiring not to spec it took hours


and lots of pretty wires, with the wifes help cause im not real good with colors

this is the other end

sorry doubled up this is the door hinge i am asking about

does anyone know what it is off and are they available

That will be cool as when its done !!!!!

I removed the doors and hinges today,it doesn't take much wear to make the rest loose.I will take them in monday and find somebody who can repin them for me

the 62's biggest problem was probably me but it was always stopping I had a lot of fun in it lost in in the ocean once. destroyed its second motor on the way to moruya theatre when herbie was screening and walked 20 miles home never to see the little bug again.After work and weekends I worked at the servo where my mechanical bill was till finally the boss put me through tech and got my mech(coff coff)anics ticket took me 2 years to pay the account off

smallest door ever







spent hours getting skin off to rebuild window workings

Haven't seen this kit before but I love the lines. Will look good when finished. Must keep an eye on this resto.

there was one for sale on gumtree at windsor running subaru not complete, and I have been told there is one in a car yard at penrith I think but not for sale. apart from the convertable magnum just sold in WA I know of no more but searching

all the front is painted

nice detailing man...

it will al be hidden when all the cover panels go in

i have one in my shed ,it has been waiting for me to get off my ass and start working on it

mine was that colour once
beautiful

looks like I have to strip the front down again to get the fuel tank out, the repair didnt hold with heat and expansion

tried another repair style ,still waiting to test it. It gets a bit hot working in my open roof no walls shed

Why hello there. Nice to see another DRB

Im thinking I need another fuel tank

Try a fueltank repair kit.
Seals it up from the inside.

Got a tank will inspect the inside and get some seal treatment stuff when I find out where I can get it from
