Hi all ...I am selling my unfinished VW 182 Thing as my circumstances have changed and I cannot finish it. It is still in bits, the body is ready to be re-assembled and lives with my restorer on the Gold Coast. It has new seats (Mercedes 500 SL- built in seat belts- also new fully complaint) - new rocker panels, complete roof (new) windscreen - almost everything.
I have not put a price on it until a potential buyer has talked with my restorer - it is only fair that he tell you what has been done so far. New whitewall tyres are in my garage, ... the list is long and it is hard to let it go but that is life ..... an example of the work done is a pic of the finished floor pan in the Thing section .... pm me if you are keen to know more.
I am in Wavell Heights, Brisbane and the car at Ormeau - Gold Coast
Offers over $10K considered - no tyre kickers please - a lot of time and money has gone into this !

You know how much it cost you, you should put the price on the vehicle, post some photos of the car with a list of the work done, put a link into the add for any other post about the car.

Thank you for wisdom ... I have amended the post and photos will be added accordingly - if you must know the car has cost more than 20K to date not that this is relevant when posting the car as an unfinished project - happy now?
