Bushpig, would you welcome any more visitors?

LOL!!! Persistence had nothing to do with it! I had zero interest in the yard buses and Eugene negotiated the sale of the 57. He pulled out of the deal and I stepped in; at that stage I didn't know the bus was in Stanford or that it was a package deal with all the yard buses! Unfortunately the free split buses thread was deleted in one of Eben's clean-ups.

Hitlers Revenge,
All visitors welcome just give me a call first in case I am having a busy day or I am out.
Be prepared to rough it, its just me here holding the fort but there is always coffee and tea unless you give me some warning. Love to meet other Buggers.
Catch you later Bushpig (083-265-2616)

I also saw all the buses, but he said they belonged to someone else (partner) and were not for sale. I wanted to swop the beetles for a Penta outboard motor but eventually that deal fell through. As far as I know he has a terminal disease and often than not in CTown so is no longer in the game, but I will get an update some time.
I am sure you love the bus though....?
Fig when are you coming down to fix you bus

Jolas, how about making a turn together, maybe I can bring Splitz along as well.

Can do HR, sounds good, has to be in the week though, weekends are a problem, can you get some time out in the week ? And you Splitz ?
Bruce is the oval at the warehouse as well ? Cheers.

If need be, I can play sick , so name your day.

Whoa ! Thats a whole lot of work you just arranged for yourself , must confess you are allot braver than I am good luck and keep us posted !

Jolas,
The bugs are at the "Oval Office" look forward to seeing you guys

Splitfan, Thanks for the wishes, but I won't be able to do it without input good and bad from all. It will take some time.

Braveheart's body removed and front axle and a little rust work to be sorted out.

The pedle cluster. Pedles stuffed so to the bulkhead.


Passenger bulkhead


Gearbox without the drums. All were different!


The front torson bar is bent and will have to be straightened. Any suggestions in Cape Town who can do the job.
The leaf spring bundle has one broken on top and one in the bottom.

Try Dave Rowley at Flat Four Racing he might be able to sort out the front torsion bar issue

After our chat today, I thought I'd check the thread, yip; it’s definitely time for an update.
