Hi. Living in Brighton right now. It's not really for us (a bit upmarket) we have moved over from the UK in August.
On the plus side, finding a fair few local Vw places around Moorabin & Highett way which is handy.
Will post s few pics up of my 71 soon.
Cheers.

Ha. Whereabouts are you? I'm just off south road/ hampton street in amongst many 4x4s.
On a separate note not sure how my 72 cross over just became a 71. Tired I guess. Expect more genius as I post more. Duh

cheers Tonz.
Yeah we're looking round that way but also north a little, trying to keep near the beach but its all about the dollars.

Some pics of my 72 deluxe.

The big thing on the roof is a vent for the AC.

Originally had quite retro fibreglass vent, but I understand there was an incident before I bought it involving it not being attached too well.
