I know.... had too many aircooled dubs ... moving away from that now but still got dads sat out in the carport....

my dads was 300quid 4 years ago... failed its first mot under out ownership. he pulled a slab of bichumen stuff off the underside and there was ahole straight thru to te carpet...

since that its had two channels , two floors. rear bootfloor, bumper mounts and inner wings..
new rear valance, new beam
new brakes all round....

all done by me... finally on the road now as of about a month ago solid as a rock

if you want bad for rust, try a 60's type 3 (fasty). .... hell thats bad, and the parts are hard and expensive to get... i had a 69 and a 70 at the same time the 70 was more solid tho

hes got stacks of dollys not just that one lol,and just bits and chassis and shells,doubt if any wld be for sale tho as hes built up a reputation for mending them unintentionally,ppl bring them to him from miles around

I know its a non runner but is the engine seized??......can u trun it over on the pulley without it locking up & is there heaps of "float" at the pulley???
as has been said...could we see some pics of the underside/channels etc?
are you open to an offer??

[scoobypete]

engine isnt seized,turns over witha spanner on the bottom pulley,not sure what u mean by float if u mean what happened to my old bug that u can pull the pulley in and out then no its solid in there.
will try to get down there and get some more pics,it doesnt actually belong to me and i know someone from here is going to see it tomoro so if its still there the weekend i will jack it up and pic the underneath

[manymotors]

is this sold??

[scoobypete]

bump

[guz]

i bet that'll run with a bit of tinkering, we've just
got one running that had stood for 17 years, can
date it exactly cos the former owner shot himself.

[scoobypete]

it probly would,I'm half tempted to get it myself,weld it up and run it like it is with a set of towelrail bumpers and put it back on steels

Sounds like a bug. ;D

If this was nearer I'd be very tempted as a doner for mine, have a bump.
