 New owner at CUSTOM VEE DUB 
 
 
Been trading for 2 months now so thought id better get my butt into gear and let people know whats going on..........I have posted on Kombi club
already but just in case...!!!! 
Some of you know me as "Pete the mechanic" down at Custom Vee Dub, but I have been given the opportunity to take over the business so have taken it
with both hands and ready to expand my clientel even further. I am a sole trader now so you will only deal with me and only me when you call. 
I enjoy working on the "old air cooled" VW's and will be continuing to do so over the coming years so if you have any issues with your vehicles
dont hesitate so give me a buzz and ill help you out the best I can. 
 
Cheers Peter

Interesting, I saw they were represented at Valla. Hope they continue the great work, places to work on old VW's are getting few and far between.

Latest VWMA #86 stirred my interest again so finally went searching and the Custom Vee Dub website has been updated - https://www.customveedub.com.au/  - no mention of names

That is cool, so in Brisbane there is still 
Custom Vee DuB 
Phoenix Engineering Services 
Leon's Motors 
for mechanical work 
 
There must be plenty of people using them if they are all busy. 
 
No idea who is out there for body work/rust repairs?
