Re: New Members - Introduce yourself..
Hey everyone
Have been checking out this forum for a week but now want to start asking questions too.
I just bought a '67 Ambulance that I found on Gumtree. It was actually looking for a beetle body and here pops up my ultimate dream. Ok it might have been a bit of a rush(as I've been wanting to restore a bus forever), not to sure how legit everything went ( it apparently isn't registered and has no papers) but I thought why advertise it for sale then.
Anyway the only thing that qualifies this as an ambulance is the rear hatch, and 2 original frosted windows, everything else is gone. Oh and the Fan is still there. So I hope I can get some help from some of you guys here regarding parts.
I'll start a thread on questions

Re: New Members - Introduce yourself..
Welcome AA*VW, nice to have a newbee. I am sure there are some projects on the front lawn. SP...etc
If you need spares when you have a project get the bf to bring you around. Depending how brave you are there may be a project there..
How about the 59/60 Red Beetle offered by syncromad under vehicles - "lots of aircooled stuff" could be a nice start.
