I think this is KO159 located at Ballarat. I seem to recall the 4 pipe Arbath ( I think) muffler. It used to be owned by a guy who had a lot of Vws
sitting in a line on his property but the current location in the paddock is not where I saw the vehicle many years ago.
Now that hardtop ........... its a shocker in the flesh from what I recall.

hey there
that there would be mine and my dads country buggy.
as bill said it needed a big hug but even that would probably have crushed it.
sitting in the shed at home and is looking much better these days.
that wonderful tin roof has caused it's fair share of dramas in the time we have had it
cheers

hey guys
sorry to keep you hanging.
it is very close to being finnished but am unsure as to when this will be as i just jumped on a new project which i really want to get into
nearly all the panels are done just need welding and a final beating.
when we got it all the metal in the engine bay was gone as was the floor, sills, window frame and both engine bay cover and the front boot.
currently dont have access to my photos but will try to have them up next week.
ko159 is correct too.

am happy to send bigger ones or more to anyone interested.
shows how much we had to replace. the car now has a coat of paint (not the etch prime pictured) but we still have a bit of body work to be done.

Edwin,
There was certainly some work to do on that body but its great to see that another CB is getting restored and getting back on the road. I like the
spray booth set up.
Be sure to show us some finished pics when completed and after you get over the current distraction.
