My '69 Squareback Panel Van
Thought I would share my latest addition to my VW family. It's on a boat on it's way over here now from the USA.
A '69 Squareback Panel Van originally from Norway then bought to the UK then taken to the USA & now will soon call Australia it's final home.
Plans are to drive it as a semi daily driver for a few years, while tinkering around with a few taste fully done custom mods. Long term plans are a
possible body off resto, see what happens. Either way it is going to be highly cherished.
If all goes to plan it will be on the road here in Brisbane mid February, 2012.

Thanks, yeah I had been watching it myself for about 18 months. Procrastinating about it for so long & finally was over there in September this
year & went to take a look. Once I saw it I knew I had to have it. Gonna be stoked to have it here soon.

roadworthy & rego but should be at Dubs by the Pub on the 19th Feb. Very exciting !!

Yeah I know... this one will not be getting windows while I own it that's for sure. If only I could track down some original panels to one day re-do
the '62 back into a panel van again. Don't like my chances of that though.

You'd more the likely have to get the panels made up. Shouldn't be too hard to done by a sheet metal worker

Picked up the Panel Van today, very stoked. Took it straight in to get compliant seat belts fitted. Next is RWC & go cruising. This is gonna be
fun. Got a few things I wanna do to it over the months ahead. Updates when they happen.
One thing I was really stoked on was that I got the Californian plates as well, will make for a nice souvenir.
