Recommend me a VW specialist in Brisbane.
Hey Guys,
I am considering purchasing a modified 62 Karmann Ghia, and am wondering who might be the best people in Brisbane to "look after it".
It's been a while since I've been involved in the VW scene, so I thought you guys might be able to point me in the right direction?
Cheers, Paul.

Thanks for the replies guys.
I'm on the Southside so I might try someone down this way to begin with. I use to get a bit of work done through Southside VW back in the early 90s,
I didn't realise he was still going. From memory the guys name was Roger, still the same guy?
Where are cvd and leons?

Ok cool.
The car I'm looking at has a few modifications, including a Pobjoy 1916 motor, so I'm not sure if that's his "cup of tea" of whether there might
be someone better suited to that sort of thing on the southside?

Try Leons, he does good work, and does allot of modified engines and cars.
I have no sympathy for my car, only the wallet that pays for it!
Go hard or go home!!!!
