[FS - NSW] 69 Damaged Type 3 Notch.
Hi
I have a 69 Type 3 Notch that has run into my brick letterbox, back right corner. It has been written off by NRMA who wont fix it. It can be re regoed
if it gets fixed. I get the insurance money backl and I get to keep the car. So I am after either a quote off someone to fix it (preferably as would
like to keep it) (anyone know a smash repairs around the Hills Sydney that will fix it) or if someone wants to buy it as is. Ill set a price of $1000
but I have no idea what its worth. It still drives fine, has a 1600 twin solex, bullet cap wheels, new tyres 165/50 and 185/45, home made rack,
venetian etc. Engine could do with a rebuild but ive been driving it for 7 years without any problems.
Cheers John

I'd buy it now for that price if my wife wouldn't kill me 
I'd give some of the Sydney VW shops a call and see if they can recommend someone for you. Perhaps Andrew Dodd at North Rocks, Volksbahn at Pendle
Hill or Production or CBB @ Penrith. I'm sure Paul will jump on at some stage and suggest you contact RAW at Campbelltown as well, who might be able
to do the work themselves.
It's hard to believe that with so little damage they were willing to write it off. More that they just couldn't be bothered.

I'd be more than willing to put my hand up for it, if you decide it's not going to work out repairing it.
I would also be happy to quote to repair it for you if you want to keep it. I have a folio of cars I've restored, VW and non VW that you can look at,
and most of them have been on the big screen (Have worked on lots of cars for film & TV over the last 10 years, Currently there is a metallic
purple Sandman with candy violet flames I painted which is now
a star car on 'Neighbours')
Either way, give me a ring if it doesn't work out with the smash repairer. I've sent a PM with my contact details.
Cheers, Dave

Hate to be a kill joy but if your insurance company has recorded it on the 'Repairable Write Off Register' you may have some real drama re
registering it. The RTA have changed the rules so that you can no longer re-register a 'Repairable Write Off'. It is a bloody Government conspiracy
to get old cars off the road and to stop re-birthing by all those dodgy characters who shall remain nameless.
Except now they have made it cheaper for them to buy at auction because theses cars can't be re-registered and they now send them legitimately
overseas all repaired. Usually to somewhere in the middle east. Of course that is after they have stolen a few other cars to fix it on the cheap. Big
money to be made there these days. Three houses in a row in Fairfield NSW got busted doing exactly that recently with 4wds. I think that is where mine
may have ended up after it was stolen.
There are however exception to the rule for the 'Repairable Write Off Register' and these are listed on the RTA website. You should check this out
first. I think personally with an old car like this the RTA won't give too hoots. Good for us VW folk. And if they do we should walk in mass to the
RTA and protest. Get all the car folk together. Not just the VW folk. We need a united front.

I assumed the bit where he says it can be re-registered means he asked the question at the time - or at least I hope he did...?
Hey Dave - are you in Melbourne...?
I just delivered a beetle to the guys at Neighbours the other day... did see the pano on the back lot but no time to take a better look...

Hey Type3disease, No I live in Sydney but will be in Melbourne next week picking up a car & looking at a few others.
I painted the Sandman up on the Gold Coast, in an industrial estate near Warner Bros. the paint is quite a few years old, so I'm not sure what it
looks like up close now. It's bound to have a few chips and scratches. I dont watch neighbours but found out it was on there from a mutual friend of
the owner.

From the RTA website. No worries for old cars.
All vehicles with a GVM of 4.5 tonnes or less and aged 15 years or less from the date of manufacture, that are assessed as a total loss, will now be
termed "written-off", and recorded on the National Register.

not looking good, got a quote to repair it which is fine and I would run with it. But spoke to the Blue slip guy and he said there are no more
repairable write offs in NSW. There are exemptions which i am sure i would get but i dont know whether it is worth the hassle of getting it back on
the road. Its gotta go through 2 inspections etc etc so i dont want to get it fixed only to be knocked back on something else.

its a write off but you would need to get authorisation to fix it, i dont think it would be an issue but i couldnt be bothered going through the
process.
The laws apply to NSW light vehicles up to 15 years old, including cars, trailers, caravans and motor bikes.
What are the exempt vehicle categories?
Exempt vehicle categories include:
• High market value
• Hail damage
• Low production run
• First or last in production run or model range
• Personally imported
•• Inherited
• Owned for five years or more by the registered operator
• Registered operator is a member of a recognised enthusiasts’ club for vehicles of that type

Seeing as you have owned it for 7 years, you could get it fixed as it would be exempt wouldn't it?
