Yeah definitely, expect to pay pretty top $ for a Split. If you can find one for sale in Aus, unless you're willing to import.

Hi, yeah your right about being a bit vague sorry guys. Prob looking to spend around $20,000 ish for one thats on the road or less for a project. If I can't find one here then I might Import one but would love to save the hassle and get one here.
Cheers

Loving the look of that..... I did read on a forum that it needed a fair bit of work doing to it but still I think it's an ok price.

Just as a warning.....in case anyone is unsure.....that has a lot of incorrect parts. Without the correct chassis, engine, interior, etc. it'll be worth a lot less that the norm.

does need a lot of work and the original parts are few and far between but in saying that if Kustom resto is your thing it comes down to how much your willing to pay.

Hi undercircuit, do you know how much work it needs. Phoned up the guy and he said it was all solid just the odd bit of surface rust.

I have to agree thats is more untidy and needs lots of little things than major work but for that kind of money i would require to see it in person and have a good poke around

Are you after a split bug and another bug, or a split bus and another bug?
I'm kinda confused!
