just thought id put some pics up of my future project that i scored from my uncle. Im looking forward to getting it up to the coast to work on it, as you can see its a major project.

Cheers dubster

Nice, that will come up a treat!

Thanx I also got a 71 bug off him as well but no pics of that yet as im still in the process of getting the car up here hopefully by the end of this year.

great score, looks like a fairly straght forward resto job. you'll love it!!

You are one lucky bugger. Wish my uncle had stuff like that. Good luck with them and keep us posted with progress.

Hell yeah. Looks fairly solid. Great starting point anyway!

Thanx guys i know I've got my work cut out for me, but I'm keen as to get it up to the coast.

Your Uncle's a very nice man!

thanx mate

Great stuff. good base for starting and cannot go wrong with a split.

thanx.. its got some rust in a few places that need major attention but nothing an angle grinder and a welder cant fix lol.

Dubster

this is some of the rust spots i was talking about

almost the same clour as your beetle mate, well done. but I always reckon those old splitties look like a hell of a lot of work.

Cheers

Nice score,enjoy,i know i would.

yeah i know hey, and yeah i know i've jumped in to the deep end but hey i'm willing to give it a shot.

thanx beetle_nut, yeah i dont know whats going to cost more restoring it or transporting it up to Queensland lol.

Very nice score mate

A word of advise I would cost up the amount of repairs as repair panels alone with be a few $'s.

I'm sure you have already done this it helps if your going to carry out all the rust repairs yourself.

enjoy

Looks like some fun times ahead. Would luv to get my hands on a split one day

Thanx for the heads up on those panels.
I did look into it and yeah they are a bit exy, but it's a long term project so I'll be buying one panel at a time.

Baja it!!!!!
