is this worth saving?

[nicolas]

i ran across a 1300 67 the other day. the fenders are gone and the doors start to look like a swiss cheese, but the floorpan is decent. the biggest issue i found was that the inner doormount, the pillar where the hinges attach to is dented on the inside. it is the pillar that ends in the dash. can this be replaced. and how hard is it to get innerwings and repairpannels for a bug? i am not buying it yet as it will be a lot of work to get it going. it is basicly a shell with hood and lid. a 1300 engine and a trans, not sure what the condion is of both. but how much is this worth? maybe i can get it cheap enough and help someone who needs parts... i am not sure about this, but maybe it is good enough to store it and build a racecar out of it...

thanks

Got to be worth rescuing if it's cheap enough and you've got the space. Even if you chop it up for parts it's better than it returning to mother earth by itself!

[nicolas]

it is said to be 1000 euros... that is not much if there are enough parts, but it is just a shell really and some parts. doorhandles and so on are missing and expensive to buy afterwards.

maybe the price can get down.

Hi Nicolas,

Would'nt personally give 1000€ for a rotten incomplete 67...
I paid 1500 for mine, and it was complete, and only a little rotten...

[nicolas]

i know... it is a bit steep at this price, but maybe i can get the price down a little. but it is that i want to do a lot of work on the fastback (bigger engine, maybe new trans, get thigs finished properly and so on) but a 67 doesn't come along everyday. so i had to ask. i will try to get in though with the owner and see what he really wants for it. and maybe get some pics...

mmmmmm! ebay is bad for me! i should not be allowed on it actually. i just bought the 8 spokes and i am saving up money for an engine and trans. and there is a vespa that i am buying with my girlfriend... so i was thinking of storing it and maybe collect a bit of pieces for it over a period of a couple years, but i don't think this is the right bug for me at this time. i first need to finish the fastback, that will be the main focus.
and i think i will keep my squareback as well. i dont think my sqaure will be sold for a decent amount so i could buy a 5 speed and a bus... those things are also on my list of things i really like. the 5 speed will probally be a dream for a long time and the bus... i have a bigger family since my son is born and we managed to do one great holiday with the three of us and the square. later on, i think we need to think more about getting a bus and not a bug...
