Just looking to guage some interest in my '55 oval window beetle body. *now sold*
I purchased this about a year ago with the intention of putting it on a pretty wild 'pan (was on a 1500 item at the time) and havent since had a chance to touch it so am thinking about perhaps doing the right thing and giving someone else the opportunity to restore her.
It's complete with all the fiddly little things that make an oval correct -incl: tail lights, semaphores, flat badge bonnet, correct front guards, etc, etc, etc...
It has some rust in the bottom of the A pillars and base of the heater channels, you will also have to sus out some bumpers since all the early ones I've seen at swapmeets are crap so was intending to just go with new ones. Other than this its dead straight and an easy enough resto for someone with the time and/or $$$
It has cost me all up $1800 to get it and all the correct oval bits and would like to get that back. If I can't I'll just plan to hang onto it.
Thanks bushed! No engine or 'box, I have heaps of interiors bits and pieces for this car - will grab more pics soon. Would also rather sell the car and parts as a whole. 1800 seems like a bargain to me and under what I paid for it all.
May also consider partial trade for an early type 3 - contact me for details.
