    Anything can be fixed! Just depends on whether you want to spend the time and money!

    Love to see some more pics.

    You know I didn't actually look It does have a swallow tail bonnet though.

    I've only been told that the rust is terminal I haven't investigated it much myself yet. The "too rusty" assesment did come from a repected auto engineer though (Bill M). It's been stored in the open for more than 5 years. We were pretty busy just doing the trailer thing tonight to spend much time playing with it.

    I'll bug bomb it before I go pulling out the interior though, it's a spider's paradise in there.

    Make sure you bug bomb it outside! Dad made that mistake with a karmann ghia years ago.. There was a black outline around the car in the shed! haha.

    You can sleep easy fellas, it's NOT a swallow tail, I just went and checked.

    I've noticed you've been a bit absent of late Pete.

    This explains it I spose - up to no good again!

    so that's 1 Beetle. 2 4 door golfs, 2 2 door golfs, and 1 passat? and a BMW? I really didn't remember your garage or driveway being that big!

    Just crazy busy/stressed at work. Lots of functions this time of year too, weekends and weekdays. I'm on holidays from next week, then I'll be back into it.

    White Golf comes back on Friday, it'll be on the dyno again all day Thursday.

    Plans for a monster carport are underway!
