Re: SCORE! Post your amazing finds here
I came to work with Rattles my '53 Daily drive Split Beetle and the building contractor who is building new classrooms came to me and told me he was offered a Beetle same as mine by a guy who cannot pay him for building work he has done. Long story short the Guy owed him R25 000 for the work so I paid the contractor and now the '52 Split Beetle is mine. Minor paperwork to be sorted out. So you will soon meet Bubbles, Rattles' new garage mate

Re: SCORE! Post your amazing finds here
Being able to own 1 split beetle is extremely fortunate in my opinion. to have 2 is just wrong.

Re: SCORE! Post your amazing finds here
Wow Muds, that's an impressive list! How do you do it?
Pls set up the kombi tent and post pics of it, either here or in my ealrier kombi tent thread in My Ride. I've got a thing for drive-away kombi tents and I'm amazed at how many different ones were made in SA.
And I'll be contacting you shortly with my Hazet tool needs.

Re: SCORE! Post your amazing finds here
When I got my Fuchs refurbed at a wheel place close to my house the owner of the shop made me a offer I couldn't refuse. He wanted some stuff removed from the shop as it was there when he took over and was getting in the way. I landed 2 complete engines and 1,5 tranny's together with other spares , got it all for R200. 1 motor is my spare and still does duty, and is doing so until I rebuild a new HP for my Spyder. The other engine was blown at Fig's Farm.
the tranny's were donated to Bugger.
