If I ever have the opportunity (and I hope I do) to travel down the air cooled VW path, my weapon of choice would definitely be a Type 3 wagon. I just love the shape, ever since I first saw one back in highschool with deep black paintwork and brightly contrasting chrome, I’ll never forget it. But enough reminiscing, there’s an interesting story about the wagon in this feature. From what I can gather, apparently it started it’s life as an Australian Delivered model which was imported at some point during it’s lifespan over to the United Kingdom. The story picks up in the present day with the wagon being restored with the utmost detail to show-standards, before being sold to a lucky buyer back in, you guessed it, Australia.

Thanks to Chris for submitting.

Okay, I’ve waited long enough and I’ve made an executive decision. I’ve been watching this build for a while, waiting for it to be finished but I can’t wait any longer. It’s going to be debuted at the upcoming SEMA show, where I’m sure it will be photographed by numerous websites, so I wanted to show it to you guys first. Just take a look at the Solid Works renderings of the parts built for the project and you’ll see why I’m such a fan of this build. I wonder if the people who built cars at the factories back in the 50/60s/70s would ever dream they’d be getting this much love in the new millennium. We have the pro-touring crowd to thank for that (and their deep pockets!)

Some quick stats:
LQ4 6.0L V8, 4L80E transmission, custom chassis, air-ride, C4 Corvette suspension, rear mount twin turbo, C6 Z06 Corvette brakes.

Make sure you check the full build thread at http://www.pro-touring.com/forum/showthread.php?t=54980. This is just one of those builds that needs to be read! I’ll be sure to post an update when the car is completed.

I always thought of these Clubmans as the ugly duckling of the MINI range, until I saw this one. Does anyone else think that just about any car can look cool when its sitting on it’s rails?

While you’re at it, check out the owners automotive apparel & sticker company, Stance Design

This Audi ticks all the boxes on how to build a scene-approved ride in the contemporary car world; low, wide, smooth, and wheels poking out from the guards. Built purposely to be worthy of gracing the front page of a car magazine, the owner has surely meet not only his own expectations but many others along the way. I doubt it will be embraced by Audi purists or those who don’t care for the latest car fashion trends, but it seems to be popping up in picture threads on forums & blogs everywhere, so come behind the scenes and see how it was put together…
