Hi all
Im having some problems with posting pics on here.
I own a 1974 bug with all the early panels. Was on the UK scene from 1996 and collected a few trophies for best in class.
It did run on Porsche Fuchs, but im making it into a back to 87 Cal Look bug on solids with W decklid, and other tricks.
Engine is a 1600 with hidden carb conversion, which means the carb is flipped behind the fanhousing so its hidden out of sight. I did have a rare RX
dual stinger zorst on it.
Painted in pale yellow and goes by the name of Lemon Meringue. Its a classic pastel Cal Looker in the style of the late 80s.
I now run the Nostalgia Displays here in the UK and have over 130 X feature cars on the books. I organise displays at all the big shows in the UK and
also have merchandise for sale such as the early bug jam videos from 1988 onwards all remastered onto DVD or whatever format you need. T shirts,
stickers and tons of rare mags.
If someone can show me how to post a pic, u shall see the bug in all its glory. Im currently running a golf Gti which has been US spec'd with all red
rear lights and clear lenses. Sitting on polished teardrop alloys.
Looks like a good place, shall stick around and see what u guys are like.

Been into dubs for 15yrs, and I bought this car when I was 16 as it was my first car and the car I learned to drive in. Didnt look like this tho, when
I was starting with it.

Welcome to the group where Most Australian VW owners are members.....
Your 74 really looks like a German 66 beetle with the early lights etc plus large windows....
We had small glass here until late 1968.... Beetles were made in Australia up till then... so We had the 1964 Beetle until 1968 - only change was the
1300 engine....
You are unfortunate to have the major Rust problems over there with the chemicals put on the Icy roads... Our shock towers etc rarely need replacing
due to rust.... I have never seen a rusted shock tower... but then I polish and paint My shock towers...

Yeh,
I like your yellow as well, looks very quiet.
One thing I have fouind here is that people aren't afraid to build what they want 
, there may be a little crap fly about personal taste, but in the end we all seem to get along (even if some of us do liek slammed,
polished and modified over original :P... even Lee's engine lol, just kidding Lee, I actually like it)
Thats probably the reason why im sittin on this forum, as its more to my taste.
I dont mind different opinions, we all like different things, Its when mags start trying to rewrite history and shun styles that many grew up as Cal
Look as something of a fashion disaster that gets me a lil :cussing.
Perhaps if they hadnt featured everything at the time without chrome trim, and painted pink and written about as cal look, they may have a case. But
they didnt....and you cant have it both ways.
Many really were in awe with the 70s cal look, but there are other chapters of cal look. I shant continue with my negative spin, just that its a huge
bugbear and about time someone wrote a piece on the 80s cal look, to set the record straight in a positive way.
Again thats why most of your cars on the other thread appeal to me, as they are kinda what I grew up on and look to be continuing in oz very strong.
Off my soap box now...nothing to see hear...move along lol
Stu
