My Grawomobile

Post by Chris »

As of today I'm the proud new owner of the Grawomobile. :hangloose: I have been talking with VW Crazy the last month or so and have now bought it from him.I was in the market for a camper and when this came up I had to buy it.

Now all I have to do is get it down to PE.VW Crazy has been working on getting it good running condition by servicing the starter,carburator,fuel tank,electricals and brakes.He has been working hard on it and has had fuel in his mouth,carb cleaner in his eyes and his wife bringing him cold drinks while working in the hot sun.Thanks,I appreciate all your hard work guys! :wink:

As soon as she gets to PE,I will start working on the interior and replacing carpets.The upholstery will also be done depending on the condition of the old ones.I will also have a tent made for it like the one fig has if I can't manage to get one already made.I will keep it the original red and might replace the wheels.

I'm very happy about this buy and I'm also glad that it will stay in SA. :D Thanks for all your help VW Crazy.
Damn,I'm good!

Jou D...er. He told me some one was interested.

Congrats. Anyone willing to changes a DOCCA from watercooled back to aircooled shows his alliance ACVW and therefore gets my vote.

Enjoy
