Well, unfortunately the time has come, way too early really! I've been pondering over this the last few months as some of you know and circumstances means that at this time i need to sell the bug.

My wife and i bought a house in August last year and 'other' things are on the cards. I really really want to keep it, but its just not practical and its too much money sitting there not doing anything. I've also started a small side business which has consumed any time that i did have to work and play with the bug.

I think the build thread ( http://aussieveedubbers.com/viewtopic.php?tid=67295 ) speaks for itself - im realistic, i know i wont get my money back and i always set out to build the best car i could knowing that i was throwing money away - it was never my intention to sell, but things and priorities change. I have taken no short cuts on this car - everything done is top dollar. The condition and panel work on this car is immaculate and amazing. I have seen a lot of brilliantly restored cars, but for an early 58 this car is extremely straight. No bog, no rust, none of that crap.

I've come up with what i believe is more than a fair price:

Car complete as is: $33,000

Car without conversion: $22,000

If you are interested in the car without the conversion, its easy to go back to lawn mower, there is even more room in the 36hp engine bay. Cutting on the car is minimal, thats the way we did it - alternatively you can stick in another suby, one that isn't done to the extreme like mine.

As a complete car you get all you see in the build thread ( http://aussieveedubbers.com/viewtopic.php?tid=67295 ) - it has been completely engineered, it has rego until November. The ECU is completely tuned by pulse racing ($1500 worth) - the later model suby engines need a whole bunch more done to them.

If you want to know what the car cost me i will tell you - only if your interested in the car. Pretty obvious it cost me a bucket load more than the asking price. I also have receipts. Even minus the conversion, you'd get no where near the quality for 22k - TRUST ME!

My loss, your gain.
