Cool, shot for the pics

That early bay is a depressing site man alive, does'nt look THAT bad yet, whats the story there?

The yellow bus, I'd make an offer on that roof rack ASAP !!!!!

[Junior]

They have both been in thoughs places for a long time Last time I looked about 4 years and the yellow one is at some shop I took a pic of there number if you want to call them and find out whats happening. The grey one is in some ones garden but Iv never asked about them (I'm a beetle fan )

Here is the number for the yellow beetle if any one wants to call and find out more (let me no what they say)

[Junior]

Has any one called?

[jolas]

just seeing your message now, I'll phone in the morning and let you know dude, thats if someone else has'nt beaten us to it already

The other one looks like a '72. Not good man

Both worth saving - at the right price. If anybody gets prices and doesn't want them then please advertise it here.

PS. You can love more than one VW type at a time (Its all good with us.... )

Spoke with the owner, he reckons the (yellow bay) bus belongs to his friend / belonged to an ex friend, who left it there for
repairs or storage ? Appears to have no interest in it. Garage owner would like it to go, the engine (2l) is siezed, bus appears to be rusted (but complete). The papers are going to be an issue as the licence is not up to date (few years now), not sure if the dudes are still friends, etc, etc. The garage owner does'nt want to sell parts off it.

Having said that, I told him I would like to buy the roof rack. He will think about it. So mg12werr, you who started this whole affair!!!!!, do you have space in your yard for a roof rack ? I'm flippen far away from Grahamstown, I would have to make a transport plan if I can buy it. Thanks for the lead !

Yes I do, well done just tell me what you need me to do and I will do it

[jolas]

Thanks man ! If you happen to go passed there again while they're open, if you could have a real good look at the roof rack
for me .....
Would really appreciate it.
The dude won't mind, quite a friendly sounding character, his name is Riekus (or Rieka?). Thanks

I found a roof rack like that at a pawn shop near to me for my Fleetline, paid R300.00 and still asked if I could could take it straight away and pay him pay him later
I see now the guy has a surf board for sale that I was also looking for at the time

[Junior]

I will see if I can go down some time soon and go get some more pictures

Okay I got on my bike and went to the other side of town to go check this thing out and speak to the guy. He said that the papers have been removed off the system due to the car standing for so long or something along those lines. The motor has been removed and is in the back of the car. The panels in the car all look like they are in extremely good condition. There is bad rust at the back outer panels but had a look and the rest of the car is in good nick. The combi has no dents. The paint still looks like the paint from the factory and no fiber glass or chicken mesh. The gearbox is still there and it has its original rims. Okay the very sad thing about the car is the roof rack. 50% of all the mounting brackets are rusted away and the others are really rusted but might still be fixable with allot of work!!! He said that he wont sell the car off part my part but wants a decent price for the whole thing. Now before I tell you the price Is it possible to get papers for the car? Can I say that its a build from scratch or some thing like that?

Here are the pictures I said I would take:

[Junior]

Out of interest how much is the that back suspension worth? is that IRS suspension? And how much would you say the whole thing is worth?

[jolas]

F*#k !!! Thats really sad, you can see the bus was pretty well looked after most of it's life until the last twit got hold of it.
I think with the paper work issue, there will be a "mission" ahead. But if I lived down your way and the price was right, I would be tempted to take it on. Interior looks good and complete, still has the parcel trays, roofrack can be saved (never saw mountings rust like that before). Rust wise, it looks like the roof and gutters need major surgery.
Maybe investigate a bit more regarding the papers.

[Junior]

How much would you pay?
