DEADLINE FOR NEXT ISSUEFriday 26th January 2007

The body was stripped of it’s cream paint to bare metal, heater channels, rocker panels, engine bay and the floor pan were all replaced together with a door and the decklid. A good majority of the metal work was done by hand and rollers which took many months. The body and undercarriage was sprayed in Glasurit, the 1776cc engine and dual Kadrons Nick rebuilt and converted the engine to a 75amp alternator. It has a Drycell Odyssey Battery which is hidden in the quarter panel, custom decklid latch and surrounding panels.

The whole interior was a mess,

so everything was replaced, even the windows, every nut and bolt is either stainless steel or chromed, front seats were returned to original Karmann spec, the customised luggage compartment and under the hood panels are dressed in a complementary Tan and everything else is new.

Air pressure switches for the suspension are hidden in the glove box and boasts an electric antenna, pearl white steering wheel, empi shifter and custom speaker grill. The dash gauges have been reconditioned and venetian blinds add to the overall look.

The 15” wheels have new chrome outers, 4” up front wearing 145/65 and 6” on rear wearing 195/55 tyres, the suspension is a 4 valve air management system, air sleeve shocks up front and bags on the rear supported by a Viair compres-sor with a 2 gallon tank and this Day of the Volkswagen Show Winner drives like a prestige car.

The project consumed Nick for around 20 months from start to finish and all would not have been possible without the help and patients from his father, friends and girlfriend Stef.

Nick Stellatos purchased his Karmann Ghia early in 2005, that same day he began the restoration process and very early into the project realised the car needed a lot of work?

Welcome to the December edition of the Wagensville News.

Well the Day of The Volkswagen is over for another year and what a day it was, we had an increase of approximately fifty percent over last years numbers. To start I would like to thank our two main sponsors Francis from South Yarra Volkswa-gen and Shannons Car Insurance and the other businesses that support the club, you will find them listed in the back of the magazine. Don’t forget when dealing with them to let them know that you are a member of the club.

A big thank you is in order to all those that helped in organising the event and to those who helped on the day, especially Andrew Ermel who did nearly all the hard work for me and David who’s prepaid entries was a great step forward and made a big difference to getting the cars into the grounds.

On to the event itself, from all reports Cranbourne was a good choice of venue especially as it allowed us to group the cars together and with a bit of rearranging we will be able to fit even more in next year. Melbourne had so many working VWs and the row of over 60 Kombis was impressive, I know there must still

be some VWs left out there, so pass the word around and see if we can encourage more to come along next year.

The other good news is that some of the smaller classes are getting enough cars turning up warrant a separate trophy next year so stay in the loop. Next year the big canteen will be open so there hopefully won’t be the long queue for food.

Planning for next year is already well underway with a busy calendar already worked out. The first event is going to be an impromptu camping trip in late January. Kennett River will be on again on the first weekend in March and hopefully proceeded by a visit to Ray’s Outdoor Centre to stock up on those camping essentials. Unfortunately the numbers have become too big for central catering so you will have to fend for yourself this time, with luck the surf may be up and the fish biting.

I want to try and encourage more people to get involved in club activities, so if you have any suggestions of what you want to see or you want to run an event bring your ideas along to the general meeting or drop us a line via email or snail mail and remember your idea does not have to appeal to everybody.

Christmas is nearly upon us so it is appropriate to remind everyone that the December meeting is on the second Tuesday not the third as usual. So be there on the 12th.

Details of the activities planned for the night can be found in the magazine. Also a reminder that there is no general meeting in January and the next magazine will be out in February, this lets us give our editor, who is doing a sterling job in producing the magazine a well earned rest.

See you at the General Meeting and don’t forget it’s on Tuesday 12th December this month.

Karmann Ghia

The Karmann Ghia was a two-seater sports car marketed by Volk-swagen, designed by the Italian firm Ghia, and built by German coach builder Karmann. Over 445,000 Karmann Ghias were produced between 1955 and 1974.

In the early 1950s, Volkswagen was producing small, fuel efficient, reliable automobiles (like the Volkswagen Beetle ) but as the world recovered from World War II, consumers began to demand more stylish and elegant vehicles.

Executives at Volkswagen decided that it was necessary to produce an

“image” car to satisfy the demands of post-war automobile buyers.

The design and prototype were well received by Volkswagen executives,

and in August 1955 the first Kar-mann Ghia was built in Osnabrück, Germany. Public reaction to the curvy Karmann Ghia was excellent, and over 10,000 were sold in the first year, exceeding Volkswagen’s expectations.

Since the first Karmann Ghias used the same 36 hp engine as the Beetle, the car was not suitable as a true sports car, however, the car’s styling and “Beetle reliable” parts made up for this shortfall. The Karmann Ghia also shared engine development with the Beetle as the Type 1 engine grew larger with time, finally arriving at an engine displacement of 1584cc.

In August 1957 a convertible (cabriolet) version was introduced.

The car was slightly redesigned for the 1960 model year. The most notable exterior changes were the car’s front “nostril” grilles (which were replaced with a wider design), the headlights (which were moved up the fender), and the rear taillight lenses (which became taller and more rounded, sometimes referred to as “cats-eye” lenses). Cars made from 1955 to 1959 are referred to as “lowlights,” due to the lower placement of the headlights, and are much sought after by Karmann Ghia purists and collectors.

1970 saw larger taillights with integrated reverse lights, as well as squarish wrap-around turn signals, versus the “bullet” style used on earlier cars.

The taillights were revised again in 1972, becoming taller and wider, with more visibility from the side. Large safety bumpers were added for 1973. Additionally, 1973 saw the removal of the unusable back seat as a means of skirting new seat belt regulations. Where the seat was once located, there was now a simple shelf with no back rest.

In late 1974, the car was discontin-ued mainly due to increasing safety regulations and sluggish sales.

In 1962, Volkswagen introduced the Type 34 Karmann Ghia, based on its new Type 3 platform. It was the launch vehicle for Volkswagen’s new 1500cc engine. It was the fastest, most luxurious, and most expensive Volkswagen at the time.

One interesting option was an electrically operated sliding steel sunroof, a feature not found even in the Karmann Ghia’s similarly priced Porsche cousins. The styling was more squared-off, versus the curved appearance of the original Karmann Ghia, offering more inte-rior and cargo room. This venture into a more upmarket realm with a low volume production car was not a success, and production ceased in 1969 after about 42,000 units were built. Today, the Type 34 is considered a semi-rare collectible.

The assembly line which assembled the Type 34 also produced the Porsche 914 - the Type 34’s replacement.

The Karmann Ghia Touring Coupe was developed to replace the Type 1 based Karmann Ghia in Brazil. It was built from 1970 to 1976 and given the Type 145 designation. It was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro at the Italdesign studios in Turin, Italy. The TC was based on the Brazilian Type 3, as such, it has the Type 3’s drivetrain and running gear.

The Volkswagen Karmann Ghia was truly a special car.

The Volkswagen Karmann Ghia was truly a special car, beautiful, timeless in design and was wonderfully affordable, reliable and fun to drive.

Do Beetles float?

On March the 4th, 1963 more than 1000 people lined the banks of the Murry River near the Mildura Wharf to witness Peter Jungfer put the floating Beetle myth to rest.

The Volkswagen Sedan fitted with a propeller driven off the crankshaft, exhaust snorkels and a carburettor breathing tube, drove down the river bank, nose first into the water and chugged off across the Murry River towards NSW manoeuvering the VW with the front wheel as a rudder.

The successful accomplishment was recorded in history by The Sunraysia Daily and Burr Bros. Motors were the local dealers for Volkswagen at the time.

During the river cruise water did not affect the Beetles engine performance and there was only about half an inch of water on the floor inside.

The VWCV would like to thank the following businesses for supporting the 2006 Day of the Volkswagen.

and to all our valued club members and helpers who made the day possible.

The VWCV would like to thank our major sponsors for supporting the 2006 Day of the Volkswagen.

SOUTH YARRA VOLKSWAGEN

and

SHANNONSInsurance for Motoring EnthusiastsWhat a Day!

This years Day of the Volkswagen was the biggest on record! Our new venue at Cranbourne Racecourse proved to be a big success.

Some areas were close to running out of room but Paul and his team managed to squeeze everyone in.

There were 25 categories in this years show and the two new categories rat look looks and Kombi camper had 12 and 13 cars in each respectively. Thanks to Mark Krapp who organised and judged the rat look class and next year will be organising a bigger and better display for the rat fanatics.

We were fortunate this year to have a new dynamic major sponsor South Yarra VW. Francis Mohammed and the dealership team from south Yarra VW demonstrated many of the new line of VWs including Golfs, Jetta and a new Beetle. The display of new cars was spectacular and we are looking forward to visiting the South Yarra Show rooms in the next year to preview the upcoming new VWs. As the major sponsor, Francis also presented the Car of the Show trophy to a worthy winner in Nick Stelliatos for his silver modified Karmann Ghia.

Shannons Insurance was able represented by Mark and Don, who assisted many of the participants of the show with their insurance enquiries. We are grateful again for the assistance from Shannons by way of the sponsorship of our advertising, the show bags which contained all those goodies and were a hot item at the front gate.

Our show bags also contained samples of Flash Lube’s new product the fuel injector cleaner. Those owners of air cooled VW’s would be familiar with the Flash Lube valve saver and would appreciate that the flashlube products are designed for and suited for our older vehicles.

The new venue offered us ample parking for all VW’s inside the ground. Most people arrived early this year and judging for the show commenced at 11.15am which is a new record for this club having the judging completed and ready for the trophy presentation at 2.30pm.

This year attendance was an all time record with 195 cars entered in for show judging and over 400 VW’s parked inside the ground area. We had over a dozen new traders as well as 15 swaps where some great new old stock parts were up for grabs.

The introduction this year of the discount pre entries were a great success with almost 80 entrants

taking advantage of the option for the fast pre paid entry into the grounds. David Wawrowski did an excellent job of organising and sending the entry stickers to the participants well before the day. This saved the participants a lot of time waiting at the entry gate and saved us considerable time in preparing the judging sheets for the judges. The pre entry cars received a free show bag with samples of Maguire’s Tech Wax, Injector Additive supplied by Flash Lube and pens and various items from Shannons Insurance. Our parking team lead by Paul Kinsey did a great job of getting all the vehicles into their allocated parking areas.

The injector cleaner is new product which replaces the sulphur now removed from petrol with an additive that dose not impact on the environment. This additive is suited for the later fuel injected cars and will assist in cleaning the fuel system. We are very grateful for the donation of injector cleaner samples by Flash Lube for inclusion into the show bags.

A big thanks also to the RACV for donating the first and second prizes in the raffle. RACV is also one of our valued sponsors and I am sure that the raffle winners will enjoy their stays at both 501 Bourke Street and Healesville resort.

Meguiars donated samples of ‘Nxt Tech Wax’ for inclusion in the showbags. Meguiars also donated the three cleaning/detailing packs for the raffle. Those new high tech waxes and cleaners form Maguire’s were a big success and were greatly appreciated by the winners of the raffle!

Other sponsors on the day included Volkscare (Michael and Julie Clark), Volkshome (John, Joy and Aaron Goodison), Sun Copy (printing on the Motorsports display), Satellite Ceramics (Chris Antonello), VW Australia Magazine (Craig Hughes) and Frances Oliver.

I would like to thank the following members on behalf of the club. Without their time and effort, the day would not have been such a big success:

Gates - John and Jan Stevens, Eric White, David and Adam Wawrowski, Donald Ermel and Steven Craven

Parking - Paul Kinsey, Aaron Goodison and Evan Davies

Club stand - Xavier Larkin, Ross and Mercedes Woolley, Jen and Eddie, Bernie and Christine Moro-sow, Fran Oliver and Matt Kinsey

Motorsport - Chris Antonello, Cheryl Ermel, Bill Malkoutzis and Bernd Wachs

Swap sites – Stuart Ermel

Public address, announcements and trophy presentations - Matt Gardner

Raffle - Kingsley Morison

Richard Graeme, John Goodison, Tony Albers, David Holinger, John Farrow and Andrew Donnelly for the various jobs including running around with monies, photographing the winning vehicles and so on the day.

Jamie and Raelene Casha and Steven Ermel who helped me with the arrangement and preparation of the judging sheets.

The numerous judges who did a fantastic job in judging the cars.

And anyone else who I have left off the list.

Most importantly, thanks to Cranbourne Racecourse and Graeme Egan the course manager for a fine venue for our event. Thanks to our club president Michael Cronin, our key event organiser. Also Paul Kinsey our past president, Dean Holden our Vice president for their valued assistance during the past months and their help on the day.

Finally thanks to all you VW enthusiasts who came to the day and we remind you to keep the last Sunday in November 2007 free for the next Day of the Volkswagen.

Kennett River 2007Kennett River 2007

Friday March 2 to Sunday March 4, 2007


To take advantage of the wonderful surrounds and relaxed atmosphere, have a day off or come down immediately after work on Friday, March 2.

The weekend is intended to be rather casual and you can really do as you please - whether it be going to the beach, fishing, bush walking or general socialising with other VW enthusiasts. Everyone is to self cater which will reduce the overall catering burden off particular individuals, thus creating fairness and a chance for everyone to enjoy the weekend.

The Club will supply a barbeque for those who wish to cook. Fresh supplies can certainly be replenished by taking a short scenic drive to Apollo Bay. There is a diverse array of shops, a market and many other activities to pursue in and around Apollo Bay, so remember to pack some extra money!

The Club has reserved a number of powered and unpowered camping sites at the Kennett River Caravan Park for both Friday and Saturday night. Unfortunately, at this stage there are no self-contained cabins available unless there is a cancellation.

You will need to confirm your site A.S.A.P by telephoning the Caravan Park direct on 1300 664 417. When booking, mention the VW Club and request a late check-out of 1pm Sunday at no extra charge.

Accommodation costs as at December 2006 are as follows:

Powered Sites$27 per site per night (2 people)

Unpowered Sites$22 per site per night (2 people)

Extra $10 per person to a maximum of 4 adults or 1 family per site per night

A cruise to Kennett River will leave the Shell service station, Point Cook Road at 9am on Saturday. Further details to follow in the next Wagensville.

Book as soon as you can to avoid disappointment because the area is guaranteed to be busy especially in March. For more information visit www.kennettriver.com or telephone Kingsley on 03 94848953.

The traditional weekend camp-out at Kennett River is definitely happening again in 2007. Kennett River is located along the picturesque Great Ocean Road between the townships of Lorne and Apollo Bay. The VW Club will once again utilise the fantastic facilities of the Kennett River Caravan Park, which is conveniently situated directly across the road from the excellent surf beach.

Australia Day 2007Long Weekend Camp

January 26, 27 and 28

The club is looking at options of holding a casual camp-out weekend but at the time of going to press we have not been able to find a suitable venue that will accommodate the numbers of people that we may get with a club group booking. If the weekend trip cannot be arranged we will certainly hold a day cruise on Sunday 28 January 2007. Details should be finalisedby the 12 December 2006 club meeting.

Of course, once you own them you can have them replaced by VICROADS in the colour and size of your choice.Price $1,500Contact Ben 0400 590 988
