    [For Sale: Car] ANOTHER another mk1 derby project

    I got this on VAGdrivers recently with the intention of fixing it up. I went looking for parts and panels to replace the bad bits on it and luckily found what I needed. Thinking about it now though, I don't reckon I'll get around to it any time soon, I have too many projects on and not nearly...

    [For Sale: Parts] testing the water: 1800 type 4 engine maybe for sale

    I've removed the 1800 type4 engine from my bus and I'm considering selling it. A part of me says to keep it because it's a "known" good engine with a lot of work/parts/time/money gone into but if there's someone going to wave cash in my face I could be convinced to let it go. It's an 1800cc...

    anyone got one? not looking for a project. I want a good one that'll bolt in and work "out of the box" if you know what I mean... easily identified by its "6 ribs" around the diff section: they came in late model bay window buses

    [For Sale: Car] '82 mk1 Golf in Laois

    A chap I know is selling this car. Original Laois reg, it lived in Stradbally all its life. Apparently needs an exhaust and the brakes sorted out but starts and runs fine. Eligible for cheap tax in a few months time. Overall a good practical classic car. Any other time I'd be interested in...

    [For Sale: Parts] free scrap

    I'm loading up a skip with crap from the garage. Amongst it is a pair of twin port cylinder heads, presumably 1300. They're bare of valve train stuff so should be considered "rebuild projects". I don't think they're cracked between the valve ports/spark plug holes. I'll double check if you want...

    [For Sale: Parts] NOS "Motec" accessory steering wheel

    I got this for the Audi but it's not the look I'm going for. Besides, the spline in the centre is too small for the Audi steering column and would be a pain in the hoop for me to change at this stage so I've decided I'm out... So it's for sale at the price I paid for it: €50. Will fit a small...

    [For Sale: Parts] retro-look modern head unit

    I was going to put this in the Audi but after restoring the dash and getting uncut door cards I have decided to run with 1973 spec and have no radio at all. So it's surplus to requirements. It's chrome finish with retro black knobs but the face flips down to reveal the CD slot. It accepts...

    I know most of you guys have direct experience with Aircooled VWs but many of you have a chequered past with some other old cars behind you. I need a good pair of number plate lights for the Audi, they sit in the bumper and point upwards towards the number plate. I haven't looked but I reckon...

    [For Sale: Parts] 1950s parts: NOS boxed accessory elephant's ears, oval tail lamp, DKW thingy...

    While tidying up a little today I found these parts that I can live without. The elephant's ears are probably 50+ years old and still box fresh. Belgian "ROG" brand. The large chrome base is detachable to use just the lamp portion. Your call. Funky old packaging too :) €30 or I might...

    Coxy the legend!!

    Just got a few pictures on my phone of some very rare bits Cathal has picked up for my Audi. He's only gone and found not one but two original chrome door mirrors for my '73 Audi 80, one of them might even be NOS!! "Hen's teeth" is a metaphor too frequently used but I can't think of a better...
