Anybody I know (not from here) would look at it and say "Wouldn't piss on it if it were on fire".

I look at it and say - "You lucky, lucky Bastard!" :P

My turn is coming I know it is. "Bastard!"

I'm in the market for a 4 seater - Anyone got one for the Bronze Family! To buy June - July.

What time frame is this project going to take you?
To what extent are you restoring it?
Post pic''s as you progress
One day hope to catch you on the dunes with it.

Bronze you might have to wait for a while before you find a four seater for sale.

Brian, as far as the build up goes, I'm hoping to get it finished this year, and I'll have to rebuild everything.........
I wanted to go to the Minnie Waters trip but short of funds at the moment so I'll just have to listen to Andrews stories from this years trip, but if you guys do the run next year, we will head down with Andrew & Eileen.
Will probably catch up with you at Valla if you make it, just look for the Orange Baja Bus with a forum sticker on it.

Lyle, the baby seat goes in the Kombi....... 😀

Hi Graham
I know where a manx is and it is in the some condition as your's when you first found it,I would like to make him an offer but don't want to make a fool out of myself.
It has no floor pan as far as I know and is an original manx, can you give me any idea of what to offer him.
Hope to see more pic's of your's as it progresses.
Any info would help thanks.

bright green with orange bar??????

sounds farmiliar ???

[Edited on 9-4-2003 by 62kombieute]
Terry???? Yes......???this is the colour scheme I have been telling people for months. I don't understand the question?

CountryBuggyKid, I found mine in the condition you saw and paid $500 for the lot, I then sold off some stuff i didn't need for $250, so $250 is all it cost me. I don't know what the rules are in Tasmania but I'd see if it has any modification papers or previous rego papers to make registration easier. I'd offer him $500 and go from there.

Amazing what a difference a coat of paint makes.

I didn't count the holes in mine, but there were heaps, I spent ages fibreglassing the holes....this included a big hole in each rear guard for the donaldsons as well as the front guards where the bodgy indicators were
But I'm finally finished now....😀
