:lol: It's amazing how photos make a scrap heap look like something quite presentable - that single cab really was a heap of rust, I reckon the front bumper was usable and perhaps the rims and some interior bits - the rest - was vrot - everything, floors, dropgates, chassis, doors - the whole lot. It did'nt go to a scrapyard, the guy who bought it is a panel beater and he had some plans to restore it .....

Dave you dog, now the secret is out - congrats dude :hangloose: :hangloose: :hangloose: :hangloose: :hangloose: Hows the interior ? Have you got a gearbox and motor ?
Great to hear that there is no serious rust, well apart from the floor that is, have fun china - when can we come around ? What else do you need for it ?

Sambas in South Africa are good for only 2 things: showing off and sunburn.

I really thought this was where this thing was going to go, I did advertise here on the forum, I would have taken under a R1 000 for it, but no one replied.

I put it on Gumtree and some moegoe took it for R5k in the end. WTF? This is the most rotten car I have ever seen, it was completely covered in fibreglass and pop riveted galvanised sheeting. The buyer assured me he was going to fix it, but I was glad in end, I still have my doubts that this thing will be fixed properly though.

Why did you not come and take it away then? I offered it here on the forum for more than 2 months.!!!!!!. Besides HR, nobody else came to check it out.

AND FOR THE LAST TIME, IT WAS A ABSOLUTE WRECK!!!!!

Just a quick update.

After 35 years of service (which happened last Wednesday for me) we are given a MASSIVE paycheck as a thank you for sticking it out with the company I am with. They also let you spend R5k of the money through the company as a tax saving. So this morning I was out shopping and came home with 2 sets of 165/80/15 tyres for my aircooleds. (for those who struggle with maths, that's 8 tyres.) :)

When I got home I just stored them in the Fugly. As I opened the garage I noticed the Fugly was parked nose first with a great big silencer sticking out the back.

This means only one thing, the Fugly is MOBILE.

So Squire you got your wish as the Fugly is running with a type 4 motor.

Probably get an update from my son tomorrow and also some pictures
