G'day Everyone
Gday,
My name is Derek, This is the first (& only) VW forum I have joined.
A little about me, sorry guys but I have always owned holdens & currently drive two Commodores (VT Berlina Wagon & VS Berlina Sedan), I have
never even been in a VW.......
BUT, recently I have been looking at the classic old Split Window Kombi's, & I like what I see. My wife as agreed to me buying one &
re-building it. I will be the first to admit I know nothing about VeeDubs, but everyone has to learn somewhere.
I own a spare parts shop in Nowra NSW, so hopefully some contacts I have through that can help out with parts etc. Thats the ones I cant buy through
this forum or e-bay.
I do understand this WILL be a long process, but hey, a journey starts will a single step.
Cheers
Berlina |

Welcome
I too had Holdens when I was younger, the need for speed has diminished with age, 36 Hp is all I need these days!
Good luck with the splitty I hope ya find a good project, but be warned these things are not cheap!

Hey man, welcome. I just joined this forum a couple weeks ago. its pretty cool.
I knew nothing of vw's, but i was interesting in building a buggy. And now, because i posted up lots of questions etc. and searched articles on the
internet, I pretty much understand a heep!!!
Just do your research, and have commitment and you will learn alot. The vw beetles are so much mechanically easier to understand than anyother car I
know of. So its all cool.
Welcome mate.

Welcome!
...You've done it now - theres no going back...
I looked everywhere for pics of my Brothers '65 Camper - funny how you don't take pics of cars that you see almost every day!
I did find a few though:
Drivers side: At the Byron Bay show last year - sorry 'bout the strange greenish tint in the pic - my wife was playing with the settings of the
camera as part of her photography course and I didn't realise that they weren't set to 'normal' :duh
