    [For Sale: Car] Bargains on DoneDeal

    Not sure its not something I asked as in my opinion its way beyond a viable restoration. Unless of course you have an endless supply of money if you have to pay someone to do it, or a load of gas and miles of mig wire ;-)

    At the front end you are going to be facing similar repairs to this, and probably worse. Bumper bracket panels are available, sometimes. Fuel tank supports and suspension mounting s always need repairing, you will have to make one hand and the other hand is sometimes available.front clip always...

    I was thinking the same about this car during the week, it was great value then.

    [For Sale: Car] Bargains on DoneDeal

    Here are a couple of pictures of the types of repair you will need on this car. This is my squareback which is in very similar shape, probably a bit better than the one for sale. First one is view from below the drivers side rear. Second one is a full replacement and making of the right hand...

    There is a reason for 1500 quid. Unless you have extreme restoration panel making skills, then this car is not for you. My own squareback is taking panel making to a level above welding in bought panels. Panels are not available, unless you are extremely lucky and have loads of money. I looked...

    Its a beetle, its had work on the heater channels, its a fair bet that that there is work hidden away to be done. You would expect that for the low money thats being asked.

    Seats and wheels

    Unfortunately you cant say you own anything until you have it in your yard. Its a common thing on different sites, donedeal, adverts ect. I would never take anybodys word on those sites until money and item has changed hands You wont find much "good manners" on offer.

    Spray gun and schultz has covered up a lot of potential problems there. Pics show that even without a deep inspection.

    MLVW show

    I'm not talking about any body getting burnt. I,m talking about the lack of promotion on the site here. Fair play Trev, you offered "help to promotion to try to get Eircooled behind it, but it never came to anything" Why was that, if you dont mind me asking ? I would still like to know, whats...

    MLVW show

    I think its fair to say that individual support and club support are two different things. If there was an eircooled stand or banner provided at the outset, then maybe it would have encouraged more club members to go. And even If I had been able to organise a convoy as you say, I wouldn't know...

    MLVW show

    Well it was a first time shot at a decent show, so maybe if he had got support from the club as well, that may have been a boost. Its very easy to knock it now, instead of supporting it at the outset.
