Its in great condition... garged most of its life by the look of it.. It said 1300cc but it should be 1600 Twin Port as its a 1303S "L" Beetle... I didn't think they sold them as 1300cc...
anyway still a good buy... doesn't look too damaged..

Best of Luck with the repairs..

The MacPherson struts are in the right spot but there is a small crease about an 1" in front of the left one. then about 3" forward of that its stuffed. but I will see tomorrow. 🙂

ahhhh I see it now

Desert Moose ·

Looks like I'm gunna repair it.......😀 It is a big job but the car drives so well with only 47,000 on it. The car has been kept well before the hit and only a little rust starting to pop up (the size of a match head) below the back window. when I took the front fender off it all looked new (almost) the brake line clip was shining as was the strut bolts:kiss

so I will be looking for some parts in WA. I will post a list in buy and sell but this is what it needs (so far)
- bonnet
- LF fender
- LH head light glass
- Bumper and mounts
- nose clip
- LH bumper rubber
:bounce

seagull ·

chris can you re lic this ?? some cars you can not now due to new laws in place

Desert Moose ·

yeah mate no prob's

I have been buyin' from smash auctions for years...... and you do need to know what you are doing.

plus I think the law is a good thing, it stops the stolen cars being retaged.

seagull ·

This would have to be a good buy only a few $ for the parts to be painted and on the road .

Desert Moose ·

yeah ' Marni's new car (she's pissed.....lol)

barls ·

cut it up mate
