If you ask him nicely, Merlin will give you a contact number for Garry Connacher, who operates in your area and always has one or two split buses for sale. If you don't buy one, he'll export it.

it does. i like it
i went through the same thing with my '74.
but i am selling it now. want to do it properly next time, and to an older model.
i have some very cool ideas that i havent seen on a bug yet.
but saying that, on my usual friday night beetle pic surfing, i will see one that is exactly what i would do.
appreciating the pics dude
