Cheers mate, actually I am not into them either as such. Always had a soft spot for an early splitty though. Hoping it turns out pretty cool, long long way to go though.

I think a custom colour scheme, something that comes on no car and only comes on HOK colour card or DNA colour card or something

And I'll be the one to say keep it simple, reliable and quite with the motor, all the things you want on long trips that I'm sure this will see

this right here:

is what i said in your other thread. 24 window mod for sure. then candy apple red and white 2 tone.

Wow....you're sure going to get some panel and paint experience if you pull this project off.
What are your welding skills like?

Should be a great build thread. Lots of fans of old volksys out there.

Externally it's going to be a similar scenario to the Senator, basically original but some tasteful mods sympathetic to the original car. My wife does like the look of the 23 window. Not aiming at concours, mind you I wasn't aiming for anything much with the Senator then I got a bit carried away. Started looking at rotisserie a on eBay. I won't be working on it fully until next year, I really want to finish the Senator to where I am happy with it before I start with this. Def going to be on the reliable side with the motor, when I want to fry some tyres I already have something for that . At the end of the day it's a cool kombi cruiser, not a drag car.

was looking at some rust panel prices. just the front floor and wheel arch stuff alone is like 2g's (if you buy it here). hope you picked it up for scrap prices, cause looks like the rust replacement is gonna burn piles of money.... you sound like your up for a challenge though, ill be watching this one.... and good luck
