Hi Sven....

Nice T3 matie.

Don't join a club with too many chiefs and not enough indians. It takes the joy out of the whole thing....

(!):cool:

Heard a bit of that was going around...it was the reason I asked the question

It doesen't need anything - It's a Volkswagen wagen.

Nice ride mate. Chiefs and indians is a good point but anyclub will do I reckon - if there a pain don't renew. I'd choose a club with lots of cruises and events so you can pick and choose your social calendar. Ask the club for a couple of members contacts before joining so you can ask what it like before you join or rock up to their big event and see what their like under pressure.

My club only get near me twice / three times a year which is a but sad but great to look forward to. At least I can read all the cool fun their having without me.

Thanks for the replies, it will be dumped, but the right way with new supension all round.
It is a manual with a 1776 and DCNF 40 webers.
It will be on the road for a year while I source all the parts I need for a full resto. already got new seats and and a front right guard only 97 parts to go....:P

Hi Sven. Great car, mate! Ill probably see you out on the road as I live in Ingleburn and I go to Camden a fair bit.
If theres anything your looking for, for your car, let me know as I have a heap of stuff left over from when I was re-building our Notch.
I cant comment on the club side of things as Ive never been in one until very recently.

Steve.

Hutcho,
There are a few thing I am after as you would imagine. One that come to mind is a left hand mirror. There are a hundred things I can't think of so let me know what you got.

Jas.;)

Sven, funny that, I was asked by someone else just before you did for a left hand mirror. Ill have to see if I have two. Regarding other stuff, I probably couldnt tell you off the top of my head and I dont have an inventory. as Im in one of those REALLY busy parts of life. Ive got bits and pieces of everything. Sorry. Maybe you could come around and have a look! ;);)
