There is a show on one of the new foxtel Chanels discovery turbo, it's a show about 2 guys that restore a 71 super bug that they bought for 150 pound, and have 5000 pound to restore it in 5 months to get to le bug in Belgium. It's on at 9.00pm next Sunday on Discovery Turbo.

yeah looks good, something like 6 of 1 hour long episodes

You can buy this on DVD from the UK, so don't worry if you missed it. There's also another one where they do a split Kombi camper.

Do an Ebay search on 'VW Crisis'.

You can also watch beetle crisis on Youtube...

also if you search 'wheeler dealers' on youtube there is a T3 that is vamped up and a rotten bug turned into a beach buggy!

I spent an hour or so watching it on youtube yesterday. I thought it was brilliant!
Gave me some much needed enthusiasm again to get cracking on my projects.

Its a crisis that people have to restore a 71 bug:lol:.I thought bugs manufactured after 66 were only good for 1600 tp engine and gearbox donors:lol:Thats what i use them for!

I love how UK beetles end up like "grandfathers axe"........they seem to replace everything !
