RUST SITUATION
Pretty bloody good actually. There is flaking on the valance when you open the decklid, and some on the bonnet, but other than that there is almost
nothing! I say almost, as there is some small bits of brown in the spot where the gutter runs down past the door, but it's not
structural.
INFO.
I've had a blast building, and driving this car, but I'm at a point where I'm not too sure which way I want to go with automotive pleasures, so
I'm seeing if there is any interest in my bug.
So, I've been having some gearbox dramas, so the price has now been dropped accordingly. I'm currently sourcing a new gearbox, but to be
honest I'd rather someone else fix it all up as I'm running out of time and money. From the sounds of things it's the diff. Whilst driving, at low
speeds it clunks, and at high speed it whirs. At first I thought it was the wheel bearing but it turned out to he much worse! That why I'm dropping
the price, but if I get a new gearbox and install it all the price will go back up. For anyone mechanically minded it really is a bargain- the motors
still in tip top condition, it's just the box that needs to be swapped out.
It's not perfect, there are blemishes, but I drive it every day, so don't expect a show car! With a little work it could be so much more (nice pair
of polished Fuch's and a quick look at some new seats), but as I said, I'm not sure wether I'm ready to commit to that or head in a new
direction.
Anyway, I'm chasing offers now of around $10,000 (I added up my receipts the other day and I can assure you, the asking price is
well short of my endeavours), so PM me or call me if you're interested!

Cheers!
Mate totally of the subject but i never knew there was another dubber in Crowy. I sometime park my bug on Willoughby Rd.
Bump! New price
has it been on the dyno what number has it produced and all a 1/4 mile time
Hey mate, no quarter mile action as yet, I've never taken it on the track as for power, again no dyno figure but I'd guess around 120ish? It'll make more, just needs the manifolds matched to the heads haven't had the chance to do that yet
Absolute bargin good luck with the sale but dont forget youl want to build another after u sell it cheers Rudi
Hah thanks Rudi! Yeah this is my 3rd bug so far!
I've seen this car several times in the flesh and driven it with Ollie. It's a monster of a car and whoever buys it will have loads of fun. (I know stuff like this always gets said in sale threads, but really, it's a beast of a car and a bargain.)
Bump bump bump!
Price will go back up for sale once gearbox is in etc and full rego
Bumpity Bump
