Ive been losing sleep for the last three weeks trying to make my mind up between two beetles. My mate has a 57 carel red oval that is all there not running but looks pretty solid (would need a resto) i can buy for around the grand mark. Then there is my other mate who has a 64 thats had all the rust cut out sprayed matte black with red rims (you know the rod sort of look) it runs and has rego then theres a split beetle i came across would need a fare amount of work. (im waiting on a price.) Ive been into Kombies for a while but i havnt had much to do with beetles. SO im looking for some advise which one would you take? I know i know you havent seen them but from what you read here which sounds the best?

You are kidding, of course.

haha no

Its the factor of spending the time on
1ready to drive
2 is the oval worth doing up or just buy one later thats rego
3 spend potentialy alot of cash on a shell ( even if it is a split)

Also im a bay window fan myself dont really want a split kombi not everyone wants the early busses or beetles just after some different opinions

Ill take the split shell

i take the spit and the 57, i let you the the other one

Im seeing a pattern here

so what have split shells been selling for lately?

For a rusty shell ?
I was thinking more 5-10 grand for a rusted empty shell.
60+ must have been a nice rig

Immaculate

come on man help a brother out

There ya go, even the crazy yanks only want $6k for a decent one.

Mate i would jump on that but im looking for a project around half that so if a 47 is 10g then around 4-6 would prob be a good price for a 53 ?

Ill let you know

buy em all n play eeni meeni minee moe to work out which one to start on first

I got rid of 4 kombies last year if i fill up the yard again im a dead man

dead man walking..

I need an elaborate plan to sneak three Beetles into the yard and discise them as inanimate objects

Paint "concrete lions" on the doors as camouflage?
A "Hills Hoist" paint job to blend in better?

Think you r on the right track but that would mean hanging out all the washing so she doesnt find them
