BugBoy(Nath) and myself have discovered a small goldmine of VW's..
Here's some pics. They are in a secret destination!! Got the parts from the first lot, all we could or would, for $50. A trailer full.

This shed had 6 VW motors in there amongst other VW stuff, all single port.

We then wandered out in to his yard, where there was a total of 4 Beetle shells. We got to work on stripping them as they were rusted through the floor and so fourth. Here's Nath getting the rear apron..

The fruits of Naths efforts..

This was possibly the worst Beetle I have ever seen.. Smashed down the side, then rolled..

About three kilometres down the road, a different destination, different owner, same cars...

A donor body possibly for JIMGOW??

Jim u n Nathan should have come up to Sydney, n help with the backyard full of stuff from the past 40 years.
I think i counted about 300 sets of tinware and lost count of the number of gearboes and other stuff.

Hmmm, where's the spot? Nice little treasure trove 🙂
Dear Dorothy,
We stopped off on the cruise home at a place well know, but I was told not to ........ Known about the place for a few years and think a lot do. Actually getting bored with the place, the owner doesn't sound much fun to deal with 🙁
What if I have good pics of our rides in front of the fence, what will I do? Do you know where I'm talking about?
Jim and Nath, you guys were really ready for action!!!!!!! What equipment did you take all up:thumb
Looks like you had fun🙂
BenettonVW ·
Can't reveal the place.. 😉
Dave, still got it, probably make two into one or just palm the other one off..
Yes David, that was the price. 😀

Sweet🙂

Nice shot mate but theres plenty of time for paybacks.
Yes had heaps of fun this weekend.
That place you speak of Jen is all up for sale.
$150,000 and you get the lot. No pickings sorry.🙁
jenz58 ·

So when will we see it at events? Your mind must be buzzing with ideas
baybuscamperkid ·

KruizinKombi ·

Not to many around these days, most have heaps of rust that I`ve looked at lately.
