Not a huge fan of Beetles, but the Variants are nice looking things. I admire anyone who can deal with that level of rot without giving up

I love stuff like that, totally bonkers, but what a great back story , being a 57 ,23 window makes it a very desirable model but , just a little more than I'd want to take on... imagine trying to free the engine off........ think it's flooded mate Grin Cheesy Tongue he he

Totally bonkers, but as they said, with VW valuations constantly rising, it was worth it financially. Crazy Smiley
