That sounds good for a pan since our new halves are R900 each and you would still have to cut and weld.
My biggest fear is that my wife sells my cars for what i told her they cost !!

Splitfan, do you have an exact list of the Beetle stuff that Goldwagen keeps?

R900-00 each for new panhalves isn't bad at all. I would gladly spend that money if I was a Beetle owner.
If it's too low, you're too old :twisted:

Stephen and i decided to rather cut and patch all the damage as time and budget wont allow for replacement of the pans. Ferdi.
