QLD Greetings!

[Myuzername]

Greetings all! Have just paid the deposit on a 1975 B1 Sedan, hope to do the 2000km round trip next month to collect it. Have grown up in a Ford fanatic family, had a few but never really had the passion. Have worked in car dealerships since leaving school 14 years ago (I'm in spare parts), but wasn't until working for VW that I started to really love a brand of car. This admittedly is my 1st VW, but am feeling quite excited. Have been viewing other members B1's and that has also added to my enthuiasm. I love the engine/gearbox layout in them (I am a sucker for things that are a little different to the norm), and have always wanted and older car to have as a weekend toy. This car apparently has very good paint, body and interior, and has a lot of period accessories on it. Yes, I've taken a punt and bought it sight unseen, but the photos seem to be accurate. Mechanically it needs a few minor things, mainly due to being dry stored in a shed for a while, but that suits me - I'm fairly good with mechanical repairs, suck at panel beating.

I'll post photos when I pick it up, so I'll have to keep you all in suspense for now! Just wanted to join the site and make my presence known for now.
