Good luck, I hope your BMW sells as this is one sweet looking VW. Without seeing the car, this is a bargain and take this from someone that thought doing up a VW was cheap. I thought I would have mine on the road for 8k and now I've spent over 20k and this is parts only, no labour.

DUB64, if I were you and as I have bought heaps of cars over the years, see if you can borrow some money so you don't miss out as you will kick yourself later.

I have no links to this car and don't even know the people, I just know a sweet looking beetle and a great price.

Good luck, Kev.
I thought rebuilding a VW would be cheap - Shit I was wrong, just don't let the wife know !!!!

I agree Kev, I really dont know why Barry is selling it. He has put so much money and effort in getting this rocket up and going.
I have done a 72 super bug for my son and just finished it off for the DOTVW Golden Grove 27th May. We took out first place this year 68 on modified.
Here is a link to some photos of that one.

I have spent OVER 20k on it. I stopped counting after that. If some one offered me 18k or so I would consider it but I think it gets to a point where you fall out of love with them as they take up so much time and money you just cant stand to drive them. I would far better now just buy the rocket I love and drive it. Let someone else have the trials and tribulations with building it and simply buy and drive.

I bought a 900 super bug, Ive spent $2500k just on the motor to get up to Standard. well 1641, Thats just parts. Nothing special. When was the last time you paid for a quality paint job??? $8500k is only really covering paint and the Motor. Barry spent $4500 in parts alone for this engine. I know because I ordered all the bit for him.
Hey mate, no offence meant! If anything it was a free bump. I agree that this would've cost many thousands more to build, but you will never ever get your money back from building a car like this. The only cars which are profitable to restore are super-exotics like Bugattis. On anything else, you do it for the love. That's why I reckon your mate should keep the car and enjoy it.

Dave, what are you doing up so early, must be incontinence you old bugger 😂 😂😂😂

Seriously, I was surprised that this hadn't sold. People, take it from someone that is doing a car up and spending heaps - this is a great buy. Not being rude, but I am only saying this looking at the photos and it looks like you cant go wrong. Harden up and tell the wife you are buying it, before someone else does.

I wish my daughter was 10 years older to drive, as it would be sitting at my place now.

WOW!
I am so embarrassed, Haven't been on this site for soooo looonng!
Barry really just put it up hear if any vw guy or girl was interested. He is keen for it to go to a vw home. He is driving it to work each day and really enjoying it. If some one looks keen and likes it, i am sure he would let it go.
If any one is interested in Uncle Baz's vw it will be at the DOVW civic park Tea Tree Gully in a few week,s
