The week that was @ Dubsmith Garage 🀘

β€˜63 11 Window - final stages of paint prep in full swing. Exterior now in 2K primer and commencing block sanding down flat. Interior colour nearing completion with the rear cargo area coloured out nicely and just the front cab remaining. Gearbox freshly rebuilt blown apart and coated for that special touch finish.

β€˜63 Single Cab - remaining items being ticked off and coming along well. Out doing some driveway rolling testing under its own power. Some bracket fabrication to mount the air-conditioner switches. Ready for some road shakedown test testing next week.

β€˜56 Oval Window - metal works nearing completion and starting to look spotless. Hanging and bolt on panels ready to be removed and sent away for Blasting in readiness for paint prep works.

β€˜74 Baywindow - original OEM wheels completely prepped and coloured out this week. Ready for new tyres and bolting on to the vehicle. Dashboard panel repaired, and unneeded holes building. Touchscreen stereo unit welded into place to accommodate the unit.

β€˜74 Baywindow - Rod Penrose racing engine bolted in place and the final jigsaw puzzle pieces coming together. Brakes being bled up and some final wiring finishing touches left to do inside.

β€˜76 Baywindow - had the pleasure of servicing this this week. Amazing to think it is owned by the owner from brand-new back in 1976. Certainly have never come across a one owner vehicle that is such well kept. PPG Refinish ANZ PPG Refinish USA & Canada PPG Volkswagen Australia Volkswagen

The β€˜59 15 Window Automatic that was @ Dubsmith Garage πŸ₯Ή

Well this resto was an absolute milestone in our history! Mind-blowing amount of metal works, automatic transmission setup incorporated along the way, stunning top to bottom paint works, interior to drool over, and mechanicals to top it all off.

A huge effort by all involved to make this happen! Aaron’s Speed Shift Autos and Natoli Motors coming together to get this stunner moving along the road like a dream, CDY Motor Trimming for the stunning interior and the Dubsmith Garage crew really pulling out all stops on this one πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»

The week that was @ Dubsmith Garage ✌️

β€˜59 15 Window Automatic - Final week in our care and plenty being ticked off. Final detail next week before photographing. This has been one huge resto 🀯

β€˜63 11 Window - Colour being laid down and starting to come to life. Exterior final blocking of polyester nearing completion and looking arrow straight. 2K primer session coming up next week in readiness for exterior colour. Wheels painted and looking a damn treat. Fresh rubber fitted up and ready to store away until fitout.

β€˜56 Oval Beetle - Metal works coming along fantastic. Brand-new engine lid installed and gapping up quite nice. Rear valance coming along nicely and close to welding off next week with a few few deletes of sheet metal openings that are no longer needed.

β€˜74 Baywindow - Fuel tank, filler neck, and top opening all installed and plumbed in to place. Not a lot left to tick off on this thing before the engine goes in next week.

β€˜63 Beetle - Some fresh shoes installed onto rims and get it close to being back on the ground to finalise the right height and suspension Setup

β€˜74 Baywindow - Plenty of wiring still been ticked off. The original – ready to go into metal Works and prepped for the touchscreen stereo head unit to be installed once painted.

β€˜70 Lowlight - Had this beauty in this week that we restored many years ago to take over its service scheduling. Engine oils, valve clearances, timing and ignition all reset. Carby linkages attended to, road tested and driving a real charm. So awesome to see this thing still looking stunning.
