Hi all, just thought i'd post in here after purchasing my not so new project car.

Had a look at it and purchased it last night, one of the most solid bodies i've seen with very minimal visible rust (I'm sure it'll hold a few suprises under the paint though).

Its been about 10 years since i sold my last VW which was my first car. A bright red '68 semi-auto with 1600 twin port. Will be good to work on something a little more basic again after having a modified LS1 in a HSV for 4 years. Got some big plans for this little bug but will have to talk to engineers first and see if what i want to do can be done legally. Has anyone managed to put an engine in the front of one in australia? I know there is a few around the world i've seen pics of but nothing local.

Look forward to being an active member of the forum... and getting off the Holden forums a bit, haha

good to C yr return holdens indeed

welcome back to the club..

Was this the red Beetle on Ebay with that baja kit on it?
If it is then i'm glad you are putting it back on the road as a beetle and not cutting it up to be a baja.
It looked to be a really clean original body

i saw that same bug jace and thought exactly the same thing
