Just put together a Parma Holeshot chassis and mounted this Styrene VW Notchback body that I got on EBay from the States. Will probably run a G12 motor and Pro Slot wheels.

That will be very smart when it's done. I always loved the fastback but the notch' will be very cool. Any ideas on colour scheme?
Is that 1/24? |

Hi DJ, yep its 1/24th, not sure about colour, will be discussing that on Friday with the guys at The Paintbox who did my Chevy for me. I'll see what colours they have available, I'm thinking Orange or Red though.

That's a very coooooool looking VW Steve, bet he's gutted it had to go.
I'd have been really tempted by that one. Don't tell me how much it was.!! |

Yep, he was, he had a little prang in his daily, a slammed 89 Caddy, just as his insurance came up for renewal. Insurance doubled so he couldn't afford to keep 2 cars on the road, so the Square had to go. The Caddy followed once we'd fixed it, he's now got a slammed 89 B3 Passat estate on Porsche 928 rims.
And this is mine!!!

Hauntfreak, that is a cool Type 3, I've not seen one of those for years.
I owned a Type 3 1600E Fastback some years back, it was sprayed Alpine white, the bumpers were removed and it was slighty lowered at the front to give it the 'Cal Look'. I will have to dig out a photo and take a scan of it. -------------------- |
