Hi guys, just wanted to show you all what I picked up today. Purchased from 'SplitMeister' on here.
I am hoping to do a bit of a rebuild on it with my 4 sons.
I haven't checked chassis numbers etc yet, but believe it to be a 67.
Hope the photos work :blush:
Thanks for looking!

Hope that works better :smilegrin:

Sorry to be so stupid guys, but if you could help me out it would be appreciated!
How do I post pictures, rather than photobucket links?
I have a few more to share and get your opinions, but its a bit of a hassle posting links rather than the photo itself.
Is this because I haven't posted enough times or something?
Cheers!!

thanks for that Colonel....I worked it out in the end.
I have read a few of your posts and those of your mate with the squareback.
Look forward to hearing your input on my project too! :lol:
I love your mate's BRM's on his square....still haven't decided what I'll be running yet though,
decisions, decisions. :starhit:

You're welcome dude, Welcome to the forum!
Yeah, izac's car is sweet as, only Type 3 I've driven, but its a fun car.
Don't be afraid to ask Q's, thats what the forum is for :)
And, I will have input, hahaha. :)


Scarab - August 22nd, 2009 at 07:39 PM

no worries mate...input is always welcomed!...as long as I agree with it hahaha:lol: No, seriously, all input is taken on board, any
suggestions will be considered. I have a lot of ideas in my head, and I have done a 'Selecta' of a few of them, as seen in my signature.
Glad to hear the Type 3 is fun to drive because I actually bought my Notch without driving it...or even sitting in it, so I am looking forward
to driving it at some stage in the future. The closest I came to driving it today was loading and unloading it off the trailer....I wasn't even
allowed to drive it up the driveway, two of my sons both wanted turns at doing that...not bad for 12 & 13 year olds!!


colonel mustard - August 22nd, 2009 at 07:43 PM

yeah man.

Is there anything immediately wrong with it that needs to be fixed?? I'm guessing rego is the first stop.
any ideas after that?


Scarab - August 22nd, 2009 at 08:04 PM

nothing immediate...but I am planning on stripping it down and doing a total rebuild.
I have set up a thread in the type 3 section as well, to try and get some input from the type 3 boys too.
I posted the best pics of it, I guess I better post some of the bad points too eh :D

Nice looking car, looks like it will be a good basis for your project. Good to see your sons getting involved, start them young I say. Unfortunatly I only ever had Daughters

Scarab - August 23rd, 2009 at 08:20 AM

hey, thanks Steve!
I bought it mainly to pass on some mechanical know how to my sons, before they get cars of their own.....and beside that, I've wanted one forever :smilegrin:
I have 4 sons....seeing as you only had daughters, maybe we could do a swap on one or two, my wife wanted a couple of daughters! :lol:

i take it that the pic is sort of were your heading with the notch,looks like great minds think alike as mine is going the same sort of colour.


Scarab - November 8th, 2009 at 08:52 PM

sorry Custom Fastty, only just saw your comment, I dont often check in on this old thread :lol:

I have set up a thread in members rides, check it out and let me know your thoughts on where the Notch is heading.....

The pic in my signature is a bit of an idea of where I would like to go with the Notch, but final colour is still under consideration.....and still a LONG way off :D

Cheers mate,

Scarab (aka: Paul)
