Hi everyone,

Another newbie here.

I've been into VW for as long as i can remember, and have owned my 72' beetle since 2006, and my bay-window kombi for 3 years. I'd love to own a splitty but I'm just too poor. My beetle took me 5 years to restore from the ground up and my kombi is still a rust riddled mess i aim to finish it by the end of next year.

Here's a link to the resto thread:

I've recently started another project; to build myself a VW dealership style workshop. I've invested in as many workshop books detailing the tooling of the service departments in Australia, as i can afford. so Now I'm chasing the work shop tools.

just bought these last weekend

If any one has any MATRA or HAZET stuff please let me know as i curious to see others collections and to purchase items if the owner/s wishes to sell them.

Any other cool dealership memorabilia like signage and other nick knacks also float my boat.
I am also working part time (school permitting) at Volkshome Thomastown for three years now too.

So If anyone sees me around driving, at a VW meeting or event say hello as I'm always looking to meet like minded people (or insane depending on who you ask).

Regards Jordan

Hey Jordan welcome.....

Checking out the KC thread makes your age about 17? (you were 15 when you started it..)

Great to see some more 'young blood' into Vee Dubs.

Carry on the passion and all that shit.

Welcome to DSK buddy, owning Volkswagens at a young age is an awesome feeling ay, I'm 14 and I have 3 VW's (62 beetle, 76 camper, 63 splitty). Keep saving and searching and you'll find a splitty.

Cheers Rusty.
