Hi!
Hi all!
Ive been a lurker for some months now so thought I should introduce myself. :thumb (mind you my profile will tell you Ive onyl been a member a short
while. - I had probs with my account so had to create another one  )
I caught the VW bug some months back and decided to get back to a real car and get us a VW. So the 96' Ford Futura went up for sale and I started
hunting around for a good Kombi. We recently found our new lover
We are well and truly hooked and have grand plans (who doesnt? ) for our
Kombi and we havent even picked her up yet!
Ive always been drawnto older cars with character. My first was an Austin 1800 MK II. Dont know what happened there for a minute, but I certainly
strayed for a bit there :dah
Ill try and get some pics on here so you can all take a look - Hell! you may even recognise her! - its a small worlk out there in VW land 
Im in the Blue Mountains - any one from around here?
See you around the boards!,
Melissah

Hi!
I'm new here too, and I have just acquired an auto 1970 Blue Beetle
! :P
Your Kombi looks awesome! Haven't seen one before painted that colour, but it kinda suits it! And the curtains in it would definitely have to
stay.... matches it to a tee by the sounds of it!! |

oh will go check them out.
Long term plans include lowering her, at least paint the top half white and Im still pushing for the rest to be a deep ruby red. Fix up the seats and
soundproof the car a bit. Prolly stick a subaru engine in it at some point too, get some white wall's on her... Im sure theres more.... Basicly want
to keep the classic look, but add some modcons too
