just so people don't think it be a 4X4...

is that the same weekend as drags and show in P'ram?

me and me brother bought 5 VW's for 450$$$.. back in 1990.. (yeah, old bartstrd) was 3 bugs, a type3 and a fucken mashed karmaan... (or whateever... was a mates b'day and I'm bourboned) btw... the type 3 near killed the tandem... rule 1: don't tow at more than 140kmh in a 350 powered LH torana... unless you can drop a gear and accelerate down a hill !... had some mad shakes! had 6in skids on the trailer deck from the body sway

will be into that... was up bainesse 2 weeks ago... towin a friggin cement mixer behind the Merc!

might be able to sort you sumfin... PM me...

they do... but not as much as W114s!!! Thanks for the welcome... Cant wait till yas do another welly run

Forgot to mention the reason for a 71 Merc after years of V8 fords an other stuff... (and a ducati) Factory, in 1971: 4 wheel discs! Independent Rear suspension! OHC Alloy head 2.5ltr 6 cyl 4 speed manual blah blah blah... the list is endless and a ride sooo smooove....

The Plan.. Old Merc, low and black... whitewalls, tints, maybe bags eventually.... a plate thats suits her... Old School! The old bitch is the same age as me... this was when I saw it on trademe (4 or 5 weeks ago) Next I got her off the boat (came from Nelson a full seven friggin days later) Then took her home with all my plans in my head but my daughter got there first! Then I got into it... Tinted it in the first week, cut the front... was 80mm at the crosmember and the exhaust was lower so I lifted her a little... couldn't get the jack out. Changed the bonnet, cut out some rust and began the flat-black-one-panel-at-a-time-until-i-get-some-money theme Now... 3 or 4 weeks later... dumped the arse too but not too much as I sometimes drive around with 56kg of tools in the boot. will update as I go...
