On ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/1970-VW-convertible-Porsche-body_W0QQitemZ220118428106...
There was a Porrera (the hardtop) for sale as a project in Bris, think it was on carpoint or carsales but I can't find it.
Good luck!

Hey,
Thanks for the replys. The black one has sold on ebay (and was in WA..) The white one has a stuffed soft top, and isn't with $5k IMO. Maybe they will
relist at a lower price (maybe sell the mags separately) and I'd think about it. No Bids on it.
I saw the porrera, a workmate of mine rang the guy up and it was already sold. Not really what I'm looking for anyway though.
Cheers

Dude. Harsh.
It's obviously about love, give the man a break. I'm sure some of your friends gave you the same spiel when you decided to get your first VW.
Share the love

Fair enough, you're a lucky man to have such supportive friends.
BTW, the moulds for the Porerra/Poraga are still around, they were up for sale a couple of months ago on ebay, along with a complete body of each
version.
...no one bought them. :blush

VW54 thats harsh man ...... MY PORAGA DID NOT LEAK and it had no flex as it had thick chassis rails
and eveyone i ever saw personally loved my poraga
I only sold mine cause I had to spend thousands on my explorer ...
my poraga got bought by a car yard in geraldton shame really $2550 plus shipping would of been cheaper then the white one on ebay which also has
no front lense on drivers side indicator which I had plenty of spares for ( but i gave them away with the car)
still a poraga lover

Hey,
Thanks for the reply fenrayer, I was thinking about bidding on yours, but I thought the shipping would be a hassle..
That white one has the missing lense, dunno why they had a picture without it. Be interesting to see if they relist at a cheaper price.

So did I! If you're keen, wazzo, She Who Must Be Obeyed is happy for me to back off.
I would be stoked to help you build up this kit, with my albeit limited VW knowledge.

It's a "maybe", depending on price and what year it's for. I'm assuming one wouldn't cut a hole for the external fuel flap for later beetles,
there would be a different poraga kit to suit. It's rather get one suited to a later model beetle.

How do you double the value of your poraga? Put fuel in it.
Stop it. Might as well fit a cardboard box to some braces, attach a paper plate on each corner and run around the local Westfields shouting DAK DAK
DAK - people would laugh less atchya.
(the above is entirely bollocks and just having a joke as is any VW enthusiasts right when the word Poraga is mentioned)
