57, 11 winda......"El Loco"

Post by 4tune8 »

Sorry haven't been posting much, but been busy doing stuff, not necessarily VW related, but after a couple of years treading water we've decided to get cracking on the projects. This is the first one off the rank, metalwork done by Hodgy in Anglesea a few years ago and now after selling SJ's D/C have a few funds spare to continue. Now at Stu's shed in Ferntree Gully getting put back together, bit of a headspin cos bits and pieces were all over the shop. Managed to get most over there and with another couple of orders all should be available.

Damn that looks nice. I particularly love the horns (still waiting for my set ;)).

Frankly the whole thing is pretty horny.

doing steering box raise at mo, then tubbing the front wheel arches which will also require a seat rebuild.
