Post by: Mk1Mad J - 16v on 24 July 2006, 15:41: My brother's into his "slow" dubs and has a beetle (see "meet Borris in dub rides) and a Bay Camper which were both brought back from the dead :cool: - I like speed too much myself :evil: but would like a camper at some time in the future.

Having re-built a Beetle and Camper he knows pretty much all the best places to go for parts so let me know if you're having trouble finding anything - I also have a "contact" at cool-air :wink:

There's always lots of nice beetles for sale in the back of Ultra VW :wink:

Post by: AdamB on 26 July 2006, 20:14: I bought one recently too. It's also a 72 but with the 1600 engine.

Put a few pics up in the Rides section, it's work in progress but the outside is just about how I want it.

So I go to work either, slow and pretty, slow and ratty, or fast and pretty.

Its all good,
