[For Sale: Car] ZIP347 is up for sale!

[kongomush]

I sat down with my wife yesterday and decided we need to sell some stuff. I need to get this house finished and clear it out too.

Many of you already know my Bug, but for those that don't here's the details.

1973 1300 Irish built.
New disk brakes up front
Recently replaced front beam with new ball joints, anti-roll bar and new bushes/rubbers up the front.
Carb has been striped down and rebuilt with new gaskets/rubbers.
Disy has been striped down and rebuilt with new points (no play at all). Also has new plugs.
Everything works in the electrical department.

The only problems are;

The usual rust bubbles
Needs smallest bit of welding on RHS floor pan (not structural, heater channels are perfect)

And the big one: I dropped a valve! so the engine needs a bit of work. This is reflected in the price though: €2,400 I just don't have the time to source and fit the parts...

I am open to reasonable offers for a fast sale.

You can get me on 085-8008510

Pic's below, cheers

Jesus thats a very fair price, maybe doing yourself a bit. It suggest "PJ calling" to me, keep it Irish.

I have to be realistic with the second hand car market these days... I don't want to spend weeks dropping the price until I finally sell it...

True, stick it into Irish Vintage Scene, stuff seems to sell well out of it.
