How are you getting on with the engine cover (sorry, carbon fiber deck-lid), Brian?

Oh, and I'll see if Steve can come up with an avatar for you - the pink and blue Notch maybe.

Ah, the "woody" estate.

dave, you and your lovely bride could pilot the estate for the Invasion weekend if you would rather drive an automatic! or, you could pilot one of the squarebacks... your choice.

Hi Brian,
Err, me drive a Type 4? Well, I have driven one before, on a farm in Kent (the UK spiritual home of the Type 4). We had some reversing game with a long farm trailer. I think it went OK.
I've found another Type 4 owner in Oregon - Jim Denton. I've passed your details to him.
Dave.

where in oregon is he located?

Post by **Editor** » 5th August 2005 - 12:47pm

Says he's 'on the coast'. Nothing heard since though.

just added a 73 412 to the fleet!

So, what does Shannon think of that? I guess she's too busy with the little one to notice. I had as similar rash of buying some years ago - now I've sold one (camper) and scrapped another (Polo), but bought a newer Polo to replace it as my Gopher. It looked a mess, was cheap, but looks much better with a polish and some sorting out of things other owners leave broken!

I'm still saving up for 2006. Anyone else here want the trip of a lifetime to the USA?

http://www.geocities.com/menacefye this will get you to the fleet! lots and lots of type 3s and 4s now and i might be picking up a t4 bus this week too...

well, the Razor is in the carage house and i have started the slow process of going from mess to race car.

Looks tidier than the one the young guy had at your BBQ, Brian. Is it nice and solid or thick with filler?

vwfye · Post by **vwfye** » 7th November 2006 - 5:47pm

it is not full of filler, but it is not near nice either. picctures are deceiving!

i am also picking up a spare set of front and rear springs for the 412 this saturday. i am going to cut them down and install them to lower the car, but keep the originals in case i don't like the result.

oh, and i have a 2110 to put into my purple notch as well as an IRS conversion so that the rear can be low and not look like it is broken!

That's an awesome collection dude, you're a lucky man!

vwfye · Post by **vwfye** » 7th November 2006 - 10:51pm

it has taken lots of years and lots of horsetrading to get to this point.

vwfye · Post by **vwfye** » 28th November 2006 - 8:28am

yeah baby!

You should fabricate a metal sheel in your engine compartment to isolate the hot air from underneath so that it won't be sucked by te type one engine.

in race form, it won't have any tin anyway
