What a fantastic colour - looks like someone blended three sheep inside though - man is that red. All I could think of was hemoglobin. Whoa.

That does look fully sick though - I can't wait to see it in the flesh though. I hope it finds it's way south or else I'll be planning a winter trip to the top end for sure. I bags shotgun when it's done.

Bronze.

Doug Sweetman - December 21st, 2004 at 10:04 AM

Hey Reubs getting closer as looking good as mine HA HA.JVLRacing:D:D


reub - December 28th, 2004 at 06:06 PM

John,
will never be as good as your car, or probably handle as well but should still blow peoples minds. Cheers again for the call the other day. Nothing like a call from someone whose car is simply awesome complimenting you on the work you're doing. Who knows, we might be able to have them together one day.....just need to get sponsorship to bring the car down I think. :thumb


squizy - December 28th, 2004 at 08:58 PM

Holy F@rken sh1t Batman.

Squiz....


Dasdubber - December 28th, 2004 at 09:01 PM

Great stuff - absolutely fantastic job. That paint makes such a huge difference. I remember seeing the roof chop in the very early days and thinking how much work would be required to make it smooth again, but you've done it well!

Its a great credit to you.
:beer


humpty - December 31st, 2004 at 04:00 PM

Hey Reuben...You gonna have to update your signature now!

See what the 'cruisin' crowd have been saying?

Sweet.;)


Andy42 - December 31st, 2004 at 04:34 PM

Just curious do you have a cat convertor on that or just a muffler and the flexible section closer to the turbo???


vanderaj - December 31st, 2004 at 04:55 PM

That paint job is so sweet. If / when it becomes street legal, that'll keep the V8 boys guessing. :)

rustycamper - December 31st, 2004 at 05:19 PM

Hey Humpty. What is the url for the hot rod forum?


Dannyboy - January 1st, 2005 at 10:05 PM

Lucky bugger!

Dan;)

Thanks mate.


hellbugged - January 3rd, 2005 at 01:48 PM

congrats reub, looks great. i rember seeing it at willowbank in undercoat, and your first couple of laps at raliegh raceway soon got me standing well back from the guard rail. i still have some video footage of raleigh if you u2u me i'd make a copy and send it to you.cheers


ruckus - January 3rd, 2005 at 03:54 PM

Man! That's a whole lot of funky coloured engine your bug has crammed up it's arse. Top job.


Doug Sweetman - January 4th, 2005 at 03:42 PM

Awesome. Once I saw the engine in shot - I realised why you painted in the interior red !!!

Once again, I bow down and pay homage to my favourite VW in Oz.
