In what way exactly then Ade?
Is she fit and pictured in your bus? Then yes.

Don't get too excited it's very early days! Long slog ahead.
It's a Karmann Beetle Cabriolet anyway ('69 flat screen), not a Ghia.
I'll make a bit more progress on it then perhaps tag some updates on the end of my bus thread.
Oh, and I also recently acquired an '83 Mexibug for £50. I'll update my thread with that tale too (if I win this poll)

Bus is in temporary winter storage so I could get the Cabrio in the garage and make a start. Still need to find a more long term home for it if u have any suggestions?
The Mexican beetle is on my drive.

that mexibug looks a bit of a bargain for £50!
What wheels are those on it.
Do you do all the bodywork yourself?

Well the car was actually £300 but I sold the alloys within one day on Vzi for £250
They are fairly rare so I gather(?) - Ronal Kleebatt 15x5.5

Yes. I'll be doing everything except maybe the new convertible hood.

Cheers everyone!
Rich, how about photos of buses with their awnings/camping setup for February (to get us thinking about Spring)?
