4 Kombis in 1 DAY!!
Friday we did the deed of fetching a Auto Bay Kombi, taking to the workshop, picking up a wreck, taking it to the scrappys, driving foe 160 round trip
and picking up a splitty 1968, dropping it off at the workshop and finally loading another wreck up for the scrap man, heres some piccs of a great
day..
The Auto, needed wheels.
Dropping off other end
Loading the wreck
Crushing the wreck
First time this split has had wheels for 15 years!
Now the hard part, We had to put a beetle rear end in just to move it, that was a task ley me tell you!
all loaded, but with a puncture on the trailer
unloading
safe and sound
Removing the other wreck
And to top it a BEER
So thats 4 kombis in one day, we were all pritty hadit buy the end of the day

Easy rear end
We came across this same prob a fair bit and the easy way to do a quick rear end for a split is get a piece of square steel lenght,cut it to same as
the splitgearbox width,cutsome stub axels from rear of golf and weld to ends.
The bar will fit perfect in the bottom of the rail of the U shaped gearbox cradle,all you do is jack it up and stick it in,easy in and out.
