I'm in two minds as to whether I will let this go but realistically I have too much going on and I just don't have the time. I haven't been to the Clubhouse in weeks due to work commitments so it makes sense to let someone else have some fun with this car.
It is scheduled to go into the Jan 2011 issue of Volksworld (on sale next month) in the Projects section regardless - I've written and captioned it and it's laid out so I can't pull the piece now anyway.
Most of you know the car as a rust free Californian import and if you have looked at doing or have done a restoration then you know what a gift a rust free car needing no welding can be. It's perfect for a Rat Look or one of the best bases for a restoration, in fact, it only needs a rub down and a respray.
It has an adjustable front beam, early 911 sway bar, staging brake etc. It's the most solid Beetle I have ever owned and in a perfect world I would mothball this car for when I have time but I really would love to see it out and about at shows. I'm going to throw it on donedeal as well to see if anyone outside of here wants it. If it sells it sells, if not, I'll keep working on it when I get the time.
Pricewise I am asking €3,500 (no offers/discounted for eircooled - €4k anywhere else) which is very cheap considering it's rust free and needs nothing bar a paint job to look as good as new! It does need an interior but you can go for a shitty set if you're going ratty or new TMI covers if you fancy the restored look. It needs an engine but I have 2 engines for sale also; a sweet 1200cc or a 1776cc if you fancy a bit of poke!
As I say, if it sells it sells but if not I will try to get to it at some point just not right now.
