I'd say you've bought a pretty cool project Greg. Make a cool Patina ride.

Plans are for a total strip down, find and fix rust, and fresh paint. Thinking of a Herbie inspired clone.

So many herbie clones getting around, unless you want to be a clone do something original!

Does a Class 11 Herbie count?
Original intention was to do a Baja but this one is just so clean, straight and so far, fairly rust free. I'm not a VW person per se, I like all cars
for what they are and what they can be, so I'm not worried about originality, but there is no way on Earth I can take an angle grinder and plasma
cutter to this one.
Besides, as long as it's white, I'm happy. Wife and kids want Herbie. I want Class 11 so I can go red dirt road exploring!
Oh, I'm an Aluminium Welder Fabricator (Boilermaker) by trade, so cutting and welding is right up my alley!

Not really that many Herbie's about.
Valla 2016 - about 650 VW's of all persuasions and five Herbies.
I have the only Herbie clone in Hobart and think there are three others in the north of the state.
Get a lot of enjoyment out of it from seeing other peoples reaction, on the trip from Hobart to Valla we were asked so many times if we didn't mind
having a photo taken.
Good luck with the project.

G'day and welcome
a Herbie done well is sweet
I have front cut one in the back yard as a bit of "art"
If it is just vinyl stickers you can always peel them off.
If the kids want it and it gets them into it.......................go for it
Whatever......... enjoy the ride

Not quite. We have two retired racer greyhounds. Our girl in the photo did 750m in 41 seconds in her prime.

Hi there,
I didn't realise there were three Herbie Replicas up in Northern Tasmania. Do you have any information on the other two?
