I'd give it a home - the number plate light housing I would definitely use ...Where are you located?

I have one - missing the fixings etc - I was told it was beetle but never tried mounting it; it looks like a generic 'back in the day' catalogue ordered roof rack, functional but not what you'd call ornate, if that'd what your looking for....

...a local engineering company will give you or sell you for pocket change an offcut whatever thickness you want, if you talk nice to them, you could bring the remains with you - they'd probably even have a cut near the size to save you cutting.... I've found the ones in A pillar repair panels...

https://en.hoffmann-speedster.com/beetle/repair-panels/doors ...I haven't bought anything from them but have bought bits of werk34.de who probably also stock them. If you have a bit of the right sized 3mm plate or whatever, you can make up your own - drill a hole for 'the middle of the...

....and of course on the other end of the spectrum there's the owners who have well meaning intentions of "doing it up one day" only for the car to fizzle to nothing recognisable- I witnessed this on a beetle I used to call n ask about locally here- started off as a complete stock early 70s...

...surely someone who's an honest straighttalking restorer n genuinely wants a 1302 droptop to restore (must be someone somewhere out there that does), n can convince the owner that he/she etc will restore it to its Glory days, document the process, or least give them regular updates n promise...

Messaged you there Tim

.... probably worth something to someone trying to make up a set

Front doors are the same - late to early in terms of fitment, tho most of the later doors don't have the flywindow/opening front quarter glass. There many be slight difference in inner (behind the door card) pressing, as per late Vs early beetle doors) but I'm not 100% . Brazilian/ south...

...I think you can add a trailer to the return ticket, if you get to the booth early, well before sailing time, n pay the extra few pounds for it. .... incidentally, you can still buy your ticket for the sailing at the booth at the ferry port, provided they've got room on the boat.... ....and...

....I still check on here occasionally but like said above, it's very quiet in comparison to the heady days of forums before FB. I haven't been on FB for 3 or 4 years, a tired looking, scattergun, low attention span, attention seekers online rolling billboard, an online monument to the lazyness...

You could buy another Lower A pillar repair panel and use the top 3 or 4 inches to patch the rusted area, if you don't facey bending up a panel _ should be "more or less" the profile needed tas the cheap ones always need some tapping about with anyways

Sold

I'm looking for a late CE1 t25 dash loom; I was going to fit an extended LHD loom I have but if anyone out there has a t25 diesel dash loom at sensible money it'd be preferable to fit that rather than one with XXX amount of soldered joints .... thanks

a mate of mine has the above for sale; no NCT/Tax - NCT out since June I think; its had a recent full clutch n water pump n Timing belt; mileage is 170k miles (from memory); it was in daily use till mid july, when his son was using it till he got a company van; anyways he just wants rid now due...

This was literally dug out of undergrowth/a ditch last year, in North tipp - its fairley rotten, tho the tubes look alright; theres one complete hub n a flakey rim there; steering box seems seized (very rough n cracked steering wheel also there); anyways someone with a split might want it for...

I'm after a l/h n r/h split or early bay bottom repair panels; they can be flash rusted, veng or kklokkerholm etc corners (perhaps something that didn't cut the mustard on a resto quality wise, or just been sitting around for years)- as long as theres no 'holed rust'...cheap as possible...

Ive two JX 1.6TDs surplus to requirements - no sump/oil pump, engine bars on either of them, tho both have injection pumps attached; one has a KKK14 turbo, but two of the studs have snapped... They are basically for rebuild. tho the one with the turbo, I was told was a good runner when I bought...

I have a late US 'fuel injected' spec bay Bus gearbox here I was saving for a diesel conversion - goin with a different box combo now (Passat or audi a4 probably). Condition unknown, but was taken from a running n driving us westfailia camper that had serious rust issues, so belived to be good...
