Quoting: F Body

Nice looking Bug

Quoting: jifop
i'm looking for £1500 for it which i think is a very good price.


Can't argue with that, I haven't see any Bugs that good for £1.5k

i know! thats all it owes me really, i was a bargain when i bought it and with an early 50's ford project on the horizon i need the space! i love the car but its time or a new toy

good point!

its tax exempt but the MOT/tax run out in april, i will be putting it through for a years ticket though probably at the end of the week

Anyone here interested in a VW?



For sale, 1972 beetle, 1641cc, 1600 gearbox, discs, lowered.

Hey guys, the time has come to sell my beetle, its a 1972 1200 model beetle with early wings, deck lid and lights.

I have had the car for a few years now and had always been garaged also the previous owner kept it garaged.

Its got front discs and dropped spindles with smart car tyres fitted on the front to give a little more clearance.

Obviously its not perfect there are some small bubbles around the front but they are very minor, its a very good solid car with very little nastiness, its flown through its MOT every year!

i believe its a Porsche colour

The engine was rebuilt last year and its hardly done any miles since then. the gearbox is from a 1975 fleetline so has the same ratio as a 1500/1600 gearbox which gives a lovely cruise on the motorway!

this used to be my daily driver but i have since gone self employed and have a modern hack and the bug has hardly been used and its time for someone else to love it!

the interior is basic, original seats, grey trimmed door cards and black carpet but the heat exchangers are not present.

any questions ask

cool! need any parts? used to have a bay and i'm selling my beetle and clearing out my garage!

yeah i'm pleased with it! i might brave the snow later which is still everywhere and get on with some of the wiring! its frigging cold out there though

apparently they were originally going to sell the econoline in the uk as a right hand driver version but the British crash test people decided that the pickup was too dangerous as when unloaded and with heavy braking the mid mount engine could have enough momentum to tip the van arse over tit!


scary shizzle

Nice! gotta love an early bay!

what are your plans for it?

horrific wasn't it! the back was better though





my god i'm glad i worked my ass of to get rid of it

KILL THE COW

some pics from when i bought it!

thanks!

haha that's sods law! well i'll probably be back at some point, maybe when it gets a bit warmer though!

Hey guys, seeing as I'm new here i thought I'd introduce my van, since i bought it in November i have completely re trimmed the interior from cow print fur to the blue and white you see now!

Hope you like

hmm it may have been spelt a bit like funking

haha first post and already moderated!

yeah i will do that, probably not today tho!

Hey guys,
     it was great to meet you all yesterday could have done without the journey over being quite so arctic but at least i had the gas heater or the trip home! however 5 minutes after leaving the heating came back to life! ******* right and all with the snow today I'm going to need it!

anyways it was great meeting you and hopefully we'll meet again soon
