I sometimes get that issue with images when using the Firefox browser - usually displays ok on Chrome, though. I think there's a few browser incompatiblities with the site; that might be another of 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of pictures posted on Facebook will doubtless be loaded with the usual facebook trackers and malware and FF is likely shutting that down (but does give me a guess at what the picture contains?) likewise I'd assume eBay ones are loaded with invasive behaviour so get treated the same.

bunglebus Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 It does look pretty cool (to me) but depending on whether that chassis has been built to spec or not it might be restricted to RWYB meets, and there's a load of work to finish it.

jakebullet Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Fucking clown shoes: Mk1 GP SWB beach buggy project. Correctly registered on an oval beetle floor pan and with lots of nice/rare parts. It’s a mk1 GP swb, tub is in pretty good condition with only one previous repair above engine. Shortened 1955 chassis with correct paperwork- v5 just says ‘vw convertible’ and was correctly reregistered in the 70s when it was built. It does not need IVA. 6x banded steels- a pair each of 13/14/15” Original Screen in good condition. Complete Steering column with springalex steering wheel, original GP dash with gauges and switches. Usable fuel Fuel tank, all lights, Roll hoop. Chassis needs pans fitting, and new framehead welding on. it has all the hard to find parts- rear torsions and spring plates, set of brakes, correct early pedal assembly, new framehead ( not welded on but I can do that before it goes.) Basically it has no gearbox or beam. There is also the Bottom end of a 1500 motor that will build up ok after a clean. I’m after £3500 for everything I have.

bunglebus Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 That was all good until he got to the price. There's another MK1 GP needing much less for £3700 at the moment. Ok it's on a later 'pan but antiquated running gear belongs under a 50s Beetle anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sutty2006 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I mean, fuck me. It’s a 1998 Honda CRV. Probably been crushed by the doovlaa because no Tax or MOT. Ran out in 2019 and no info on tax is a weird one. 2018s mot advisories are for lots of corrosion then the 19 mot must have been a dodgy one for “one last trip”. Probably needs 3k to sort bail. martc and Eyersey1234 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
