My 80's ways....
I've finally dug out my old pics of a couple of my rides from the 80's.
This Notch was original 1 owner, 30,000 mile car with immaculate interior, until a young 19 y.o. had his way with it. I wish I'd just slammed it, and
kept it original. Instead it got Cal'ed, a little lowered, graphics, and kept the 1600TP.
The Squareback in the back is a Melbourne car that came up for a Type 3 day we had at Toowoon Bay one year. It was running a Corvair motor - went like
stink.
A couple of 1980's Type3's on the foreshore at Gosford.
The kid who bought it off me got inspired by a VW Trends feature car with the new paint scheme. I haven't seen the Notch since.
My KG I did up after the Notch, whilst I was driving around in a 1960 Kombi. I loved the Ghia. She was running a 1640, bugspray, and dual quietpacks.
Shocked a few people away from the lights that's for sure.
I still didn't have the interior finished in this 1989 Nambucca shot. I ended up selling it to a guy in Wollongong, who apparently onsold it a few
years later to someone on the Northern Beaches. I haven't seen this since either.

squiz, ive seen your cab, its a beauty...
how on earth di you manage to make two beautiful cars so ugly? the only thing that could be worse is if you managed to abricate plastic body kits for
both rides.!

Jace - the moonies were $25 each from Rare Spares - that's all I could afford in those days!
Dame - mate you know me too well. Still got a leather tie in the draw somewhere!!!
Daniel - LOL. Yeah the Type3 turned into a shocker, yet I still made money when I sold it. The KG - mate that was a work of art. What you talkin'
about Willis? Smoothed dash, body, indicators relocated behind the front grills, but there aint no plastic ever going near any of my rides.
FCB - the old graphic era was certainly "interesting". I'll have to scan some more pics. I might even get the size right.

I just went downstairs to speak to my Mum (who's stuck in the 80's), and she had the first 'Back to the Future' movie on.... 
Anyway, it was up to the bit with Marty in the Delorian getting chased by the guys in.... a blue and white bay Kombi!! 
I've never noticed it before, mind you, the last time I watched those movies I didn't even drive a car. Anyway, it's a nice Bay!

WTF was with those moon discs mate.:o

Don't dis the Moon discs guys. They are an awesome bit of kit with decades of hotrod cred. I was converted to hot dubs on the basis of a yellow
chopped beetle in Street Machine Magazine wearing moon discs. If you wanted to do something different, they be a good cheap place to start.
Squizy, both those cars were great 80s cruisers. Don't cry over the mods on the notch. I have a mate who's first car was an solid oval window bug
and he used to take it paddock bashing cause it was a crap car in his time. At least you looked after the notch.

While we're all talking '80s flash backs, does anyone remember the chopped yellow square back with the Creative Cars body kit? I remember VW Power
doing a feature on it and I thought then that it looked abit so so.

last time time I wore a skinny tie, I was pimply and scrawny with a Johnny Farnham mullet. 
damn, can't believe that was 17 years ago now.
I'm getting so old. :o

I've got some pics of it too....obviously from the same era. The front windscreen always had problems fitting, but was something different at least.
Number plate then was CHOPT if I remember.
There was also a Type 3 that the Bug Factory at Erina did, which had dropped sills, and the front fenders were cut lower, making a nearly flat nose,
with the headlights frenched.
