Hi George/50 karmann. thanks for the offer i will take you up on it as it seems ive been offered a rather special ride and many of you guys who know heaps more than me are very jeleous.
You know i was only half joking when i said i was offended, i know i get so much stick from my mates form having a Rs turbo, (though it is one of the first 1985 and totally concourse, you could eat your dinner of the underside!) thats why im selling it, it was only a project to keep me going untill i found a split.
You know? looking at the pictures and having talked to a few Silver tops as Mrs Herbie/Anna calls them, and my dad for starters. i dont think i could even put aftermarket wheels on "my" split now.
Well done all you people im being sucked into the blackhole world of stock OE, jus hope my hair doesnt turn white just yet!
Ok so now you guys have converted me, i take it you are going to bend over backwards to help me as much as you can to find all the original parts. As i said earlier i know nothing (double negative i know) and you people probably know enough between you to make a new beetle from scratch. So keep your fingers crossed for me on getting a split, i promise i will not let you down.
And again George/50karmann i will definatly take you up on your offer, is there some iniatation ceremony i have to go through now im a stock convert!!??
