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...

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.

Another interesting day today, starting with Nathan grabbing some seat for his Dad's Country Buggy. The seats are hard to find and are quite different..
