Now THAT is one nice Beetle! 馃憤

Ex-Japan or UK?

crsedge 路

Ex-Japan!

You are right, it is a great Beetle, just bad timing 馃檯

I have only had the car from January (thus the report from Gold Coast VW is current!) purchased from the owner in QLD, and have spent quite a few $1000 on floor pans and struts.

My loss is someone elses gain (or will be!!)

bargain looks a sweet stockie

Craig Torrens 路

why did you replace the pan halves, were they rusty ?

Is the rest of the car original, like original paint and motor etc or has it been restored ?

Cheers

crsedge 路

Two small rust spots on pans, so decided to replace full pan halves, cost over $3K ( have receipts).

No other restoration that I am aware of, motor original with nil issues.

Great stock car that could be easily left or customised as per buyers wishes.

Cheers

Craig

Craig Torrens 路

Price Dop- $14,950!!!

This car would be a great base for a German Looker Cabriolet, see this months issue of VWMA:

This is nuts!

I wish I could justify buying this somehow. 馃槵

crsedge 路

Yes, you are right, I still can't believe that this is up for grabs!!

The only other two cabriolets for sale on the internet are $19500 (LHD) and $30,000, which are clearly more expensive, and LHD less desirable (in my mind anyway).

There must be someone who can justify it! 馃お

bnicho 路

It must be just the time of year!
Mini Mokes always sell more easily and for more $$ in spring than Autumn or Winter.
I guess it's the same for any convertible.

crsedge 路

Yeah, you are probably right regarding the seasons.

On the flip side, could be a great winter project to build an awesome Cal or German Looker for summer (not that it needs that)!

Hi Craig. Where the floors fitted by a VW specialist, and would you email me some shots of the work carried out on the floors. I once restored VW's for a living and know that floors put in wrong are a nightmare! I will call you once ive got them. my email is dgorton@westnet.com.au

crsedge 路

Email Sent.

Had full floors (rather than halves which could have been done) fitted by Gold Coast Vee Dub at cost of over $3000, I too did not wish to allow just any panel beater to replace these.

Cheers
