What do you mean?


Joel - January 16th, 2012 at 09:20 AM

He's probably just wondering why someone would install HQ Premier headlights upside down on a bug

Not wanting to offend, they are trying to tread lightly with their replies (as am I). I know everyone has their own likes and dislikes, but your car is different to what I think most people want a VW Beetle to look like.

That's the thing with this car, it doesn't look the same as every other beetle. This car is for someone who wants to be different.

Still looks nice, even next to a Delorean...

PS if you want to know why someone would put HQ headlights in a beetle, the best bet would be to ask Volksvair, He'd know...

PPS FYI the headlights are brand new, so not old shit ones off a wreck or anything.

CARS the movie comes to life..


Stinkbug - January 16th, 2012 at 09:24 PM

Marauder42 - January 30th, 2012 at 10:38 AM

When i say offers, i mean real ones.


Marauder42 - March 6th, 2012 at 09:46 AM

On ebay ATM. No Reserve.

68 Custom Beetle

Ok ill say it, you don't have a hope in hell at selling it for 9k, I doubt it would go for 3k even then someone would only buy it and replace the ugly bits.
Sorry but its just what everyone else is thinking.


Marauder42 - March 6th, 2012 at 01:34 PM

Its on ebay for 4k, So i guess its not too far off the mark

Other than the guards the rest of it is pretty much standard, and whats more in good condition and the engine was recently reco'd and runs like a charm.

Just put the post here if someone was a little bit interested in it. At this point I just want it out of my Garage.


PHAT BUG - March 6th, 2012 at 05:18 PM

Got a link for the ebay auction??

I'm interested, but only in the guards and the bonnet.


Marauder42 - March 7th, 2012 at 04:51 PM

I put the link in a post to posts ago, but here it is again.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/110835164540 

If you want the guards you can have them for 4k and i'll throw in a 68 beetle....


PHAT BUG - March 8th, 2012 at 04:24 PM

Fair enough then.

If someone does buy it with the intention of replacing all the ugly bits, Or you can't sell it and it gets parted out,
I'd be very very interested in the guards and bonnet.

I have an Oval beetle that they would look great on :cool:


Marauder42 - March 10th, 2012 at 06:52 PM

Relisted on ebay, since no takers. Start bid of $2800(less than what it cost me to do, but its the journey hey)

Marauder42 - March 10th, 2012 at 07:01 PM

does kinda look like an Ed Roth car from the front, maybe that what they were going for? (had to google that)

I bought the car as a project from Frank(Volksvair) and he had a corvair engine in it. Had the rear skirt removed, when i got it, but that is fixed obviously.

First car i've done from ground up.(Sold the orange parts beetle for 600 bucks with no engine, so its really strange that no ones interested in this one considering its just a beetle with some weird guards.)

Still there arn't many shifting on ebay ATM. Lets see how we go!


jack schoot - March 10th, 2012 at 07:26 PM

i have 15 tyre swans, 6 of them white walls, would you consider swapping for the guards,


smithy68 - March 11th, 2012 at 11:29 AM

Sell it for parts you will do a lot better with the sale, well most parts.


Marauder42 - March 14th, 2012 at 06:29 PM

That price is the parts price! Buy it and strip it if that what you want. Shame there was a lot of work put into it.


Marauder42 - March 15th, 2012 at 06:44 PM

Auction Ends Saturday! Already had a few offers outside ebay, but am hanging on for at least $2800

Gotta be in it to win it.


ian.mezz - March 16th, 2012 at 12:29 PM

$2800
thats cheap
if you didnt like the look , its not to hard to pop some guards on him.
