I am tempted to sell my baby if the right offer came along, but I know I will regret it. If man hours were calculated it would be worth a million bucks

Shit Roy dont do it! these things come along once in a lifetime (unless your a millionaire) Just imagine waking up and going out to the shed and it not being there! you will regret it! I hope I am convincing you, I made the same mistake once, Ill never do it again, Id rather sell my kidneys and one of my eyes first!

Robo that is heart felt, but I cant let it stand.
If I sell my bays maybe then I will see it differently.
But on the other hand I would love to restore my bay to the standard of Soulsurfers.
If only money grew on trees eh!!

Bays are great, I have one myself, but they will never have the same feeling as a split, especially one as nice as yours! buses like that are few and far between. Keep her man, it's a big drawcard for your business!

Roy if you are going to sell it then factor in those man hours, because thats what your up for if you want another one to this standard.

Dont do it.
I have just got some quotes for insurance on mine.
I have spent over $15K cash and that doesnt include my time 3 and a half years and I did everything myself including all body work and paint.
It would have to be insured for $30K.As it would cost that and a bit more for someone else to build one.
Nobody in Australia will pay that sort of money so it will end up overseas if I sold it.
So dont do it , keep it here, when will you be able to build another once ClassisVW(Pacific) takes off. Also it is a good advertisement for the business

Suppose the poms would appreciate it though

Cheers
Dave

if you sell it you will spend your nights sleepless in hope that the person you sold it to is taking as good care of it as you do.

but if you keep it, its a buzz for the business, you can spend time on doing up another and you will be able to sleep at night because you know how well taken care of it is🙂

i think the general consensus between all us dubbers is that you should keep it🙂
in the beginning, the universe was created.
this made alot of people very angry and is widely regarded as a bad move.

Sorry ive had a re-think.
Sell it , theres plenty around and you do have the deluxe.
Get rid of the bays there shit
And when you have the time it will give you something to do.
If you sell it ,it will give you a BIG cash injection for the deluxe.
Sell it to someone in England or Japan as they are the only ones willing to pay its real value.
People in Australia want a restored bus for $5 -$10k.
Dreamers.
They are getting $25 K for buses that need restos in England.

If you dont sell it ,
What is your front seat like, mines a bit worn, so if you dont sell it how about parting it out?
Ill give you a tenner for the front seat,
You could get more for it in parts than you would for the whole thing.
How about part exchanging it for a another vehicle. It is standard, doesnt handle, uses too much fuel, no performance, no room, parts are too expensive, yes im talking about a beetle!

Might have gone too far with this comment.
What do you think Roy????

Cheers
Dave
