Re: Anyone want to buy my VW Variant before I rat it ?

I know it's a mods group, but you can mod it without ruining the shell. The engines are not a big deal at all, there's little enough interior that you can have fun with it. Please don't ensure another Type 3 ends up being worthy of nothing but scrap in a couple of years.

I think the gas axe will be out to play soon.

Your loss, as well as wrecking a rare car, if you're implying what I think you are.

Rat = £1500 at most.
Resto = £4-6K.

Do what you want, but don't say you weren't warned when you're a doddering old fart looking at one of the last RHD Type 3s selling at auction for £40K and thinking "I had one of those".

Richard (have you seen Karmann Ghia prices? Type 3 Razoredges are £10K these days; my parents scrapped one in the late 70s because the steering box jammed and the panels were a bit rusty).
