Nice you've just bought exactly what I'm looking to get in the future (just not allowed to get another car until my kids start to learn to drive ) looks great

 

[cunning plan]

Awesome 8)

Winter runaround :shock:

Just make sure the heat works

Good in the snow as well. Very nice bug.

Nice one. Snap!. I love the contrast between driving the two vehicles

Get yourself some black and silver plates!

 

[67westy]

Ha it's nearly like looking in a mirror only yours is a little less rusty Black and silver plates are on the list, I hate the yellow and white ones on old cars :msn4:

Winter runaround :shock:

Just make sure the heat works

Heat kinda works and I was quite impressed with it considering the number of pipes that are missing so hopefully it'll be quite toasty when everything is back in place.

I don't suppose anyone has a photo of the fresh air setup under the bonnet (or is it boot? the bit at the front anyway)? I have some random parts laid around and need to figure out how they connect up.

I bet they go ok with a 1600 in. The 1300TP goes a lot better than I was expecting and the clutch is slipping at the min

Oh bad times Could of been very tempted by that if it was for sale, I imagine you'd probably want a fair bit more than I got this one for though.

Had to replace the front bumper with a cheap repro but it goes rusy if someone sneezes down the road. Save yours if you can or get one of the better quality ones.

The tail pipes are pretty cheap to replace

I've no idea. Beetles seem quite cheap when I look. Definately sub £3K. I don't mind selling it - it was the wifes and the arse-wipe she ran off with had a picture of them both sitting in it as a screen saver on his mobile - sweet. It's either sell or sledge-hammer.

 

[sharman]

Fancy £500? Save the sledgehammer for something else :msn4:

I'll do you a favour and take it off your hand for £550 then you can thank me later
