Hey Kank, don't suppose you're located anywhere near Leeds?
I only ask because I recognise that late bay project you've got going on :lol:

Welcome to the forum bud, nice collection!

I know I should cut down ! too much spending and no money :lol:

Kank is a 71 beetle I've been rebuild him for around 6 years now I really would love him to be a race bug but I can't find a good shell, the chassis is fully rebuilt now, I got a whole other beetle just for the shell only to find that was rotten and welded to the chassis :roll: I should know better :D

Even my early bay needs work but I guess Vw's are a never ending project!

I'll start a thread on the early bay when I get started on it

Cheers :D

I'm in Bristol tho not leeds, I got that bay off a mate as he has a few too and he does not have the time to restore them, so I'm helping him and another mate rebuild his cross over rag top, I have pic's of that too but it's a big of a big project.(I'm not a trader I just like welding vw's)

If it's ok with the mod I have another mate that is selling a early bay soon so I'll list it on here for him but it's a real good one fully restore to a very high standard (not by me I might add)

Hi I can't take credit for that van I got it as it stands (well I've changed the front seats for red leather ones and added little bits to it) But I got it off a guy in my club called Slug (he now has an early westie bay :D ), it did have the logo on both side but the sliding door was changed for one with a window in it, once I've repainted the van I will be adding the logo again.
 
You guys do like your pics don't ya :)

here's a few more of the late bay (sorry)

And the early bay from last weekend when it decided not to play game and broke down :roll: a quick fix got me home again but the dyno is dead and I think I have a engine fault as well so it's rebuild time.

I'm having the top repainted white and the bumpers done to match, its a rhd uk model with the cooker still under the passanger seat, the interior has been remade at some point so I will be remaking it again as near as standard as I can the R+R is a blue bird customs one and is very good so that will stay, other then that I plan on lowering it very slightly and maybe changing the wheels to some porsche ones I have... BUT I'm not going to slam it.
