Hi All,

Dunks here (Duncan if you want to be formal!)

Just been hanging around here reading your wealth of information you have going here, mainly i`ve been searching the web like crazy to see whats happening in the world of veedubs as i`ve been out for a year or two (21years old and already in and out!)

I suppose i`ll lay out my history!

Bought my first car with a whole $1000 was a orginal condition 1964 beetle bought mainly cos of the early style and thought would be a reliable car! pffft! how wrong i could be, i learnt never to buy a car without a rwc again as it costed about 4grand to get on the road. So we went the whole hog and restored the car for aroung 10k i was very happy untill the need for speed set in so i sold (gave) the car to my sister for 2k

AND BOUGHT A HONDA.... *sniff*

Well the honda was not fast enough so i`m now settled with my speed machine (kawasaki zzr600)

So the love affair set back in and i bought a 1972 T3 squareback as a run about untill the love of my life (sad) is on the road there comes a time in a mans life when it can only be filled by a Oval :) so from my mechanic i bought a 1956 Oval is so so condition with the idea of doing most of the work myself, wanting to learn as much as possible while doing things a little diffrent.

"A PLAN IS HATCHED"

Wanting to keep the look of the oval as stock as possible with a gunmetal grey paint job red leather seats lots of chrome and lots of stock appeal, but! wanting it to run like a new car, stop like i pressed the pedal, and steer like i meant to go around the corner.

Well you`ll probably see me around here asking all sorts of stuff, just thought i`d say hi before i probe all sorts of info out of you`s!
