hey guys thanks for the massive response........ highly appreciated
@ Gunat, thanks mate, your post was very enlightening, I'd had a suprising amount of trouble finding out the exact extent of the differences between the standard and the super beetles.... yes, this particular car that i have my eye on, is cosmetically crap, but structurally very good, the mechanic unbolted the gas tank and showed me the chassis head specifically...... it looked in good shape. this car has been based out of colombo and was apparently given to this guy for reconditioning...... I tested it and it seems quite good, so pending checkup by someone who knows beetles........ btw machan may i please have your E-mail address??
@ Malith, Sorry i couldn't get in touch earlier, yes i'll definitely mail you soon, was thinking of asking for your help....... thanks
@ Hola, Bro found one car that seems decent down here..... if that doesnt work out, we will definitely be heading towards sunny negombo, cos we've exhuasted all the leads down here D_z's getting totally fed up, and i'm not tthat thrilled myself....
Cheers guys
Will keep you posted
hey bro, I've always loved the bug man, my grandad had a very early one, and that was the first car i ever rode in .... Sadly i never got to drive it though....... Actually machan, the bug is a fairly simple car, and VERY rugged, so it's a bit less trouble to keep on the road than most others from that era... (at least lets hope so..... or else i'm royally screwed !!!! )
