my 68 twin cab(update)
i flew up to brisbane and picked this up on tuesday and drove it 1600 km back to albury not without a few little hiccups though I was coming into a
roundabout a hit the brakes and the peddle decided to hit the floor , managed to avoid the guy in the roundabout by a few feet ,i nearly had the car
for about 4 hours , i drove it as far as mullimbimby via byron and went to see george at G & N Automotive and he made a new pipe up ( it split)
thanks george if you need a vw fixed up there he's your man then driving at night the electricals gave up the ghost a few times ,a little tricky as
there was no moon and no lights at 100 kph i can tell you,then it decided to spring an oil leak near sydney but it did make it back okay i will post
some pics of the progress

dude that is a great looking twincab, just don't know about the splitty style paint job on the nose.
But it is a great colour and looks very neat.
Congrats and good luck with it.

wow, thats a bit of a bummer, depending on your view of it of course.
Oh well, you do only have to please one person, and if your happy then thats all that matters.
I might drop in and see it next time i have to go to bandianna for a course.

Sounds like a lot of work to graft something like that in.. Hmm.. Dunno if it is something I would have done, but obviously someone thought it could
be kinda cool, and went for it.
Is that a fuel tank on the back Dave?

!
I Think putting a split screen front on a bay is against all Volkswagen laws as they have done in the U.K. and Japan,it is for people who can't
afford a split and looks like shit........But this I like,seems to have the right colour and ride height,there is something about it so keep it the
way it is cos it's different.
Being a 68,it is almost like the factory crossover prototype model.

I can tell you the front does look better in real life and it does grow on you as well. As for those who say it should not be done how many parts of
different models are you running on your vehicals????? And oh david yeh we forgot to put in the original fuel tank it is still near me shed  Glad you made it back without to many dramas.

I think the front works OK...don't need to be purists all the time....The line follows through from sides...and the V front is cool.....

Man I didn't even the nose to start with. I thought it was a split til I had a second look. The back door is interesting too, Man, I almost hurt my
neck when I did a double take at that.
Don't worry about the purists, they are are just purile!

good luck with it Dave, man, did I ever put some work into that, as you can probably tell.
Hopefully you'll be enjoying it as much as I did.
I wish I still had the pics taken the day after I picked it up
I'm glad to see it is being kept alive.
