| Spence I was going to give them a shout once I am back up on my feet about a 3" narrowed item and bung it on with some dropped spindles........ I might take my wings off and get the stone guard holes welded up and all repsrayed along with the decklid too....... If I get the bonnet done I will be happy with the body paint then. Just need to get the pan detailed at some point........think I will have to put some pennies aside. | |

| Jeeezuz Spence, I thought the old header and box from the Kab were ropey!! Pity I had to chisel the header off, that could have slipped onto the 72 and gone along with that rake you put on it....... | |

| mechanically brake/engine/gearbox are in very very good condition its just the body thats rotten....in fact after looking around the car the only places where there is no rot is the roof and the deck lid | |

| well, in the circumstances of all that rot & in keeping with it being a red beetle (passing on the baton so to speak), then all the good bits.........y'know the engine etc, should be transplanted into say another red beetle of there abouts the same age.............it'd be a tribute! Now who do we know with an all red 70's beetle?? hmmmmm | |
