[QUOTE="slow-lane-Matt, post: 506149, member: 19329"] ...didn't get totally screwed - the car itself is good, but I paid a "premium" for an excellent car and I just feel such an ass for being fooled It is a '71 bug, bought for the wife, unmolested, I was told no rust, no welding one old lady owner from new, always garaged blah blah blah- in fact it has had two owners, has a bit of rust and had a bit of welding - but does have some interesting things like original bill of sale, and original service manual. It looks good and the interior is perfect and original, but will need a heater channel welded up in the near future - would post pictures - but not really relevant for a bus forum. The wife loves it which is the main thing - and the 1.3 engine is so fast compared to the bus which she struggles with. (I never realised cars rusted MUCH more in the nearside than the offside - due to puddles normally forming on side of road, obvious really - I learned this the expensive way and another reason for driving an old LHD car in a RHD country) [/QUOTE]
