Hey peoples, after owning various old cars over the years, mostly along the lines of mild kustoms and over the last few years building a 1927 T roadster rat. Anyway after losing interest in the 27 i happened to start looking at rat style vw's (was originally after an early square.... thanks caffienepusherman) but after going to the jambo i really started appreciating bugs a lot more. To cut a long story short i saw hertz's 64 for sale and had to have it, was just down the road as well. fate i reckon. I feel like a bit of a slacker not having done all the hard work but i have plenty more plans for it, dont worry shiney paint and big rims are not happening. i hope to meet some of you guys sometime soon.
Thanks again Josh i love that fucking car.
Cheers Andrew.

welcome andrew we should all have a working bee on it to get it rwc so you can be cruising with it sooner rather than later:tu:


Hertz - April 25th, 2007 at 03:30 PM

Great idea.


peppermintjones - April 25th, 2007 at 06:18 PM

Thanks guys, that would be really cool maybe we can organize something when Josh gets back. Cheers for the positive feedback I'll post some pics soon, still thinking about paint, brush/rattlecan? probably flat dirty green w/redwalls and got something planned for the doors too.
Only driven a couple of times down the street, would you believe a guy stopped me to ask if i'd be interested in being in an article in the drive section of the Age, told him i could'nt take credit for the car and he went on his way..... classic.


Hertz - April 25th, 2007 at 08:54 PM

You should have taken the credit. I would have! LOL
