[WTB - SA] 1303/L Bug Project


I'm on the lookout for a rolling shell of a 1303/L Bug.

Doesn't matter about rust/condition, as it will be a project car. Doesn't need an engine, doesn't need fenders either, I'm literally just want a rolling pan and shell. Hell, they don't even have to be together at this stage.

I'm in SA. I'd prefer an SA vehicle, but depending on condition, would go to Melbourne to pick up.

Not looking at spending much. Probably around 1k.

Contact me here via PM.

Yeah, but not using this website for the build thread. Too many people on here will turn up their noses and shit. Not worth the hoopla.

It's over here though.

Hi

Looked bad when I first read that post but looks to be OK after reading more.

Do you still have any bits left over from your old bug to use on this one?

Yeah Steve, there was a part of me that went "What the hell have I got myself" but then I realised I at least have something to work on now!

I have a few bits here and there. I have a front bumper and front valance from Zelda and that is about it as I sold the rest to get some money back for parts on the Subaru.

Still a lot of work to do to strip her back where I want her to be before I start. Hopefully have the body off the pan this week.

It's had a rear ender repair in a past life.
At one point those buldgy fuel injection aprons were all you could get.

It has definitely had a rear ender Joel, thankfully the pan is still true. I guess it doesn't really matter either way as I will be replacing it all anyway.

Speaking of which, need to put up a WTB for some panels. Fucking rust.

Spirited weekender, a lot of suspension work and upgraded brake setups.

The end goal, will hopefully be something I can enjoy and have fun in. Definitely will be a head turner.

I prefer the buldgy Fuel injection aprons on late cars too, they look more at home with the elephants feet tail lights, I got a fibreglass one from Volksconversions on mine.

Check page 8 of my build thread, thats where the A/C install is.
I tried to include as much info as possible but PM me if you would like any other details.

I'm kicking myself now for not buying a set of the GT/Fuel injection bug rims that were forsale at Valla last year
A GT sports 1303 would be awesome.
