I think you may well be right. We are all a dying breed soon to be extinct ha ha. Auld lads who suffer with an addiction to spanner wrenching on vw's and very few of the next generation willing to go down the same road.

Not a aingle inquiry to buy it and put it back on the road. Might as well do all the engine bay welding with new panels, and put it back up again to see if that entices anyone.

Must be a sign of the times, but 10 years ago I would have been inundated with callers to take on this easy project. But to date only one caller to view with a mind to restore it. But a good few looking far parts, but i'd prefer it going back on the road if possible.

All parts available, doors, sliding door, tailgate, engine hatch, 6 rib gearbox, ect,ect.

No interest at all from over 1250 views on done deal, so reluctantly I am now taking offers on individual parts of this kombi. https://www.adverts.ie/campers-motorhomes/camper/36977984

Open too offers or swaps on this as i dont really want to break it as its a rust free chassis. Thanks for looking. https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=3990075504562430&set=pcb.4907549349470291

I know of 3 parts cars that have been doing the rounds over the last 12 months. One was a blue squareback heading down the midlands and back up to Dublin i believe. Another was a squareback in the kildare region that was on donedeal as a restoreable car which it was if you were ambitious about...

Polishing compounds for head lamp glass may work on the screen. Some of the body polishing compounds would be worth a try if you cant source a windscreen. What is it, fasty or squareback

No, but send me a pm and i will give you a contact of someone who has just had a beetle sprayed by them

two guys set up a new place in Mullingar doing classic car resprays. An eircooled member has had his beetle done there, and he is happy with the result. You need to have deep pockets for a decent respray by a pro. Can you polish out the scratched windscreen

Thanks Robbie, but I got sorted earlier in the week

I am on the hunt for a manifold stem to replace the cracked one on an engine i am working on. Its part number is 113129710E . Or failing that , maybe the loan of one to get my engine started to see if its a viable unit for buying new, thanks.

Got mine this morning too, thanks.
