Now owned by a karmann ghia owner in brissy who was doing a body off resto at the time - not sure how far it has progressed.

Craig, I'd sell me left nut to get the ragtop back but unfortunately I don't think it would be worth quite enough!

Sidewinder gets hidden pretty well. Alot better than expected. What carbies are you running there?

Where can I find a link as to how the apron is bolted on?? Das, can you make a fibreglass one (i have a sherman one) bolt on and off like this??? (ie, not take the gaurds off?)
