356
Nice car arrived at my workshop last week. Not vw but has a lot of dub bits.
It's a 1959 356A. I'm doing some engine and suspension repairs.
Beautifully restored 19 years ago.

Nah mate, the owner of this one loves it for it's originality. Altho she's only done 5000km since resto/engine build, there are a
few issues with the heads to rectify.
The owner is talking of getting a high performance version built similar to this outlaw that was sold recently in Sydney.

I still can't understand the $$'s these things are pulling... Not sure I've met a VW owner who doesn't lust after a 356.
I'm amazed how the little 1600 pulls easily to 6500 rpm too.

matara, maybe, I know its from Vic and have seen pics of a BEAUTIFUL bare metal hand filed body job, as I said in the first post it was 19 years ago,
(resto began in 1984!).
chickenfillet, That's the outlaw that got this guy going after I had been in his ear about some horsepower, he would have bought it week before last,
but it had just sold.

I Have a 250km/h version of that sitting on my desk not 2 foot away.... I keep thinking about adapting it to fit the dub....
I love 356's... Especially when they are being driven properly!
Classic always gets a good turnout of them...

Yeah, that outlaw is the one from Melb. The panel work was done at Ryan's panelshop, Classic Resto. Ryan is on this forum. I believe the T4 engine
was done by VolksPower

Hmm funny you say local engine, all the blurb I've seen (two different journo articles) say it's an engine built by the "legendary" Bernie
Bergman, 2.4, I assumed type one, pics look type one too.
Ryan must be Hellbus....beautiful work from what we've seen here.

No, Ryan is not Hellbus
Definitely was a T4 built by VolksPower when it was in Melbourne. I recall clearly because I spoke to the owner about how they had to modify the
underside of the decklid to provide enough clearance for the fan. Maybe they replaced the engine after that
