Future plans: Would like a respray, skirt kit, new rims and a big stereo! Or I might just settle for a new Bora.

Chit-chat: I grew up around VWs. My uncles drove them and Dad started collecting and restoring too. My first car was a 1967 Beetle which was from a deceased estate. I had that for 12 months and then sold it to buy a 1972 Notchback. My Dad and I restored it (resprayed, new interior, pop-outs fitted and Porsche rims). I sold it and bought my Golf.

I work at Vintage Vee Dub Supplies at Campsie which makes it easy to get parts and I learn a lot more about my hobby and meet a lot more new friends.
