Car of show for me, all in 2 weeks too! really liked the way you could look into the rust below the gutter and see through the interior light! Or see grass through the floor! Ireland is Hoodride nation, NCT free motoring for the over 30's!!!

Good to see Ben make the trip down in the 2276 56'.

:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
The typ3 was total rotten. A shame for the show.
I think it's time to announce a real typ3 show car.
Next year for Mosney we will present it.
Just wait a year and then you will see a squareback and not a peace of rust.
Everybody knows, that i had only 2 weeks for the beetle and you know what i have done with it. This time we have 1 year.

that sounds like a challange. I have gotten this far in a week i am sure i can give you a run for your money by this time next year.dont appriciate you calling it a piece of rust,that was the bad side in that pic,the other side only has one hole:ROFLMAO:

Oh, giving up so soon?

I bought this for 400 Euro and it's still in bits. Is this ok for a challange?

If you want, you can come and have a look at it, to see that nothing is done on the body and it's also nearly rotten and in bad condition like yours.
I have no electrics and some parts are missing. The roof of mine is total damaged, because it was 17 years in a shed and then the roof of the shed burned down. I think, i have more to do then you.

I think this needs a thread of it's own now, Deckie?

Good luck to the pair of you, this should be interesting. ;)

Aww Riggsi, I like it the way it is!

'Squareback build-off', episode 1 airs on TV3 Tuesday 17th at 9pm.

Move over Jimmy Shine!

i know i love the look but if i dont do somthing with it the roof is going to peel off as im driving and the drivers seat will end up on the road.
