Brake pipe and accelerator

I'm missing the master cylinder to res pipe on my 58 - has anyone got one laying around? Also looks like there's been some issues with the accelerator in its past as the arm that runs through the pedal assembly is bent and been welded at some point and the pedal has broke off the floor pan. Looks li...

Seaforth, QLD

I went along to the Seaforth show a few months back. Its a pretty small show but there was some very nice stuff there. Lets start with the OG 64 cab 8) I had a good chat with the owner who had bought it in Brisbane about 12 years ago. It was supposedly an original VW display/demonstrator used to adv...

Too many idiots around

I was following a B-Double tanker on the Peak Downs the other week which took a corner too quick and the rear trailer was up on two wheels.

About a week later, the road was closed at the same point because of a tanker on fire......I wonder if the same driver?? :roll:

Moranbah is about 2.5hrs inland from Mackay. Only been there a few times so don't know what's out there but I doubt there's much on the go In Mackay there's a fair amount of Yank tanks and Hotrods but only a few VW's. No VW club that I know of. There was a local car show a couple of weekends ago whi...

The threads been moved. Wasn't sure where to put it as it was a general question really of if there are any other lufters up here. Looks like I'm on my own then. Plenty of 50's chevy's knocking around which are cool.........but not as cool of course ;-) Went to Airlie beach last weekend and stumbled...

Looking for a pre 67 daily

Hi, I'm looking for a cheap daily beetle or type 3. (Rust free- got enough of that on my split!!)

Would prefer with NSW rego but will consider not rego'd for the `right` car.


Looking at max of around $4k

Thanks :D
