Gday everyone, my names Brett ive been looking at this site for a while but ive only just recently bought a beddie. Its a 71 swb, 6 cylinder 3 speed. I hoping to put in a v8, size unsure as yet. unsure which way to go....70's coolness or a stripped down sleek look. I may have to get two and do both. I do like the colour orange too,  maybe 70's burnt orange

welcome on board. Heaps of info & inspiration here. There are some nice photo's of a fuel injected V8 in the gallery to make your mouth water. Can't remember who's it is, but brilliant. Enjoy the ride... Russell.

Welcome to BUGA, plenty of great ideas & always get pointed in the right direction by one of the members!
Have fun with the beddy, I recently painted a cj5 swb in a Chrysler colour, 1974-76 vintage. desert orange, looks awesome all buffed up & is the right era, give it a look. works well with black, bone, brown or grey interior as well.

Thanks guys,  Im still in the daydreaming /planning stage. Would like to build a cruiser not a super fast street machine, just a reliable engine with grunt where its needed, maybe a camper style with a bed
Was thinking of trying a wood floor in back, custom dash, sunroof or two, flared guards and front spoiler similar to yellow peril (think thats the name) although the scooby kit is cool.
im also a fan of the fantasy airbrush work.....maybe include something on it
Theres alot of work ahead and decisions yet to be made

Forgot to say, thanks for the suggestion on the desert orange Rotti, not sure if its the right shade but this vw looks a nice colour
