Hi guys and gals. I'm just wondering if anyone knows where i can pick up a cheap bug for resto? I am looking for something solid but needing work. No rot boxes! I'm new to Oz so I haven't a clue where to go. Is there a specialist who has 'projects' to buy at reasonable prices? They don't even have to be running. Ideally, I'd like to find somewhere (even a breakers) where i can look at a selection of VeeDubs that need work or that can be good parts cars. I do need parts for my bugs in Ireland too but that's another days work!

what condition is it in and more importantly, what money are you looking for it?

thanks but no thanks dude. out of my range. I am looking for something that needs work and it doesnt have to be a runner either.
Any idea where there is a VW breakers around Sydney? Need to get parts for other cars in Ireland but also want to see if there are any 'jalopies' needing rescuing!

they do vws and a few others as well. other than that i dont think there are any vw only wreckers in sydney. you could also try roses deals on wheels up the coast.

what about a solidish 54 oval. pretty much all there needs some work. less welding and cheaper than a uk oval.
