Bug Wanted in SA
CJ_DT - October 31st, 2005 at 11:02 AM

Hi Guys,

I am after a bug in or around SA for a project. Not too fussed about condition, its condition will determine what ends up happening to it. Prefer one pre the huge rear tail lights, but anything considered. I am in Gawler, but willing to travel within reason.

I turn them over quite often.
What are you after in the $ bracket?
Early 6v style?

Steve,
At this stage I am bug and VW free, but looking at getting something soonish. I have tried a landrover, a mini and a datsun, and I am sick of them :).

Not totally sure of the price bracket, dont really want to spend a heap on the initial purchase price, and I am more than capable of welding up most rust repairs within reason. The plan in the head at the moment is for something thats sort of ratty/two tone primer look, potentially on prefect style rims with cycle guards, or something a bit more bling if it comes up. As for the style/year, I think I could go anything as long as its not a superbug, because realistically a nice oval(the dream) is going to be well out of my price range. But lets say the earlier the better.

Let me know if you guys see anything about and I shall look into it. There is a nice one sitting in a shed near here wehen I say nice, I mean four flat tyres and lots of surface rust, but nothing structural and good insides.

Mechanicals and Bodywork I can do fairly well. Interior I dislike with a passion, but I dont mind sitting in a slightly ratty seat either.
