The workshop is alright, believe it or not I am sadly lacking space there I've got to try and fit a lot more into that space.

Thanks, I am trying to preserve history within the Buggy world, shame there are so few uncut ones left, I think there is only about 3 (including mine) left in uncut form, lets face it the rear is a bit ugly, but similar to your buggy you've got to keep the rare ones on the road and keep them going.

As am I to be fair, they are very cheap for what they are, but I really have no idea of their condition so I can't ask big money for them, though someone did offer me a lovely sum of £40 because "I don't need one at the moment" be honest, that annoyed me slightly as I am giving these boxes away and someone is trying to take the mick, almost makes me not want to sell them and just leave them outside, but heyho, what are you going to do.

If your mate is interested in one of the split boxes I will sort something out for you as they are the ones that most need to go.

drained the oil and was not to bad a colour or condition, usual bits of fine metal swarf on the drain plug but unmolested and it feels fine so well happy for the money.
you could try adverts on the volks torque or VZi sites.

Do you still have the Bay boxes chap?

Yeah still have both boxes, some guy has been after them for months but to be honest I've lost patience with him, so they can go

I just got back from your neck of the woods now, picked up a beetle, wish I had seen this reply earlier    I will try and sort something out asap
