A real dubber doesn't let a little crash get him down!!
Picked it up yesterday thanks to a new friend in Gladstone, thanks a heap Steff!!
I'm yet to clarify the year, mid 60's, K&L front with swingaxle rear, came with the engine that's in it and a spare, a spare set of wheels. Has the complete Baja kit on the backseat, and all the parts are in a box on the front seat.
Basically a complete car, the only thing that is missing is the carby off the engine that's in it, but I have spares.
Dad wants it for himself!

If you said I was a Volkswagen man, you'd be right.
Good stuff mate! Glad you could find an already chopped one instead of molesting another innocent Beetle :p
Yeah, that was to keep Colonel Mustard off my back. 😂

That wouldn't work, he'd get sick of it and ask me to do it! LOL

Glad you walked away from that one 🙂
Surprising how little damage was done for what sounded much worse. Hope the rebuild goes well tho personally it'd be good if you chopped up a less than pristine bug. good bugs are becoming hard to find these days so chopping a less than perfect one sounds more agreeable 🙂
madness is in the eye of the beholder 👍
Sh!t dude! glad u and ur passenger are ok .. they sure do make these cars tough 🙂
That sucks! 👎
Glad to hear your OK!
are there any hassles registering a baja these days? Any more than more than a complete beetle?
You generally have to get it approved by the transprt department. I'm in Queensland, the one that I crashed had approval papers that I kept in the glovebox, and the white one that I just bought has a blue MOD plate under the bonnet.

I've spent a few hours every afternoon this week pulling bits off the car, got the body off last night. Thought I would throw up a few more pictures of the damage.
First picture shows me holding the horn next to the neat little hole it punched through the metal of the spare wheel well. I acctually fould the horn sitting on top of the brake master cylinder.
Second picture is looking into the luggage area from the drivers side, you can see that the passengers side bonnet hinge was completely crushed and the body buckled and pushed the fuel tank up.
Third picture of shows the firewall pushed forward a few inchs, it made undoing the top engine bolts really easy.

A few more.
First picture shows that the long tie rod might need replacing 😂
Second picture shows why clutch access holes should be welded back up or suitible braced and strengthened. A previous owner has put the hole in there then hammered the flap back shut. You can see the tear in the metal from one corner, the entire tunnel has bent to the left at this point, rendering the floorpan pretty much usless.
Picture three shows the nice and perfectly straight frontend 🙅

Such a bugger that happened hey, like the others said, the main thing is your ok.
Good to see your back into another dub, will be good to see that on the road in the near future 😉
Cheers Bill
