Hey, great looking car, yes you did the right thing......How cool is the wagon!!!! I have just restored a wagon in Perth, and it is now on the road and we love it! . And really, every one has a Beetle, how many wagons are out there???

[Peter Jones]

Welcome to the elite world of B1 ownership!

[Phat Bug]

Not new to B1's,

We've now got 2 sedans and 6 wagons in the group.

I've had this one for a few years............

The white one is a pretty clean old girl. Really couldn't say no to it.
Not sure on the plans for it yet, get it on the road first then maybe some wheels and an altitude adjustment.

[Water Boy]

Good form!

[tassie_euro_mk1]

Woo! glad this neat little wagon went to someone here :)

[Tigger]

she looks in great condition!

more pics pls?

Get it for a good price?

[Phat Bug]

I got it for a price I was willing to pay ;)

It's in amazing condition, I spent the day working on it (getting it ready for club reg)
There was a few niggling problems (lights/lenses/choke/gay pinstriping) and the drivers window and reg were completely stuffed so got that sorted.

I've also got some really nice early bars and a nice sport wheel for it.

I'm heading back out there after tea, I'll get some more pics then.

[Phat Bug]

Pinstripes begone..............

Nice...

Sorry was not being rude asking re the price...
I agree with you that something is worth what it is worth to the buyer.

Hang, I nearly paid $10,000 for a beautiful original Mazda 1500SS. ('till my wife (boss) put the stops on that idea)

[Phat Bug]

All good mate, I got plates on this rig yesterday arvo, and have just clocked 100kms on it.
I'm absolutely loving it!

Still getting heaps more sorted on it, got the centerbore machined on some rims, hopefully have those and the bars on it on the weekend.

More pics soon ;)

Hoping to get the early bars and rims fitted tomorrow. Then try to sort some springs for it 8)

[Jarred]

[Phat Bug]

Spent all day on it today and felt like I got nothing achieved.......

[Jarred]

they are some mighty phat retro wheels! love it!

(p.s. needs to be lower, but you already knew that! haha)

[tassie_euro_mk1]

Looks great all cleaned up and with new wheels!

[Phat Bug]

Thanks boys!

Yeah she'll be getting an altitude adjustment, I just want to get everything else dialled in first ;)

[Phat Bug]

So I've been playing with the awesomeback, got the early bars on and trying to get it running better.
Whilst cross referencing the manual I noticed that my engine number was not listed. It's FS #####

I'm assuming it may be a golf donk? It was also fitted with A/C, which the car isn't so all that came off too.

Any idea would be helpful?

Also, I know it'll be a bit of a long shot, but I'd really like to find some bumper overiders for my B1.

Same as these............

Looks really good low, really nice bumpers they seem mint, however i reckon that the bumpers with the caps on the end would look a-tad better.

[Phat Bug]

Thanks Huss :)
I bought these bars a couple of years ago, knowing one day I'll have something to put them on.
I've now got some surplus later bars if your chasing some for the TS??

[Phat Bug]

Tried a mate's Ronals on for size 8)
