....your linkage might be very tight or near to seizing - increased pressure on the motor meaning it heats up n blows a fuse - of course being that inaccessible ye can't feel or get an infa red temp reading on it...or maybe a short in wiring?

Is it the hatch wiper motor, or the main windscreen motor? Pretty sure I've both, but I'll have to double check. If you've anything beetle related, I'd consider a a trade/swop. Solid Drivers door/engine/shells etc

Once that swop meet is decided upon n I can get to it, id meet you with the hatch. As I said needs some work, but dry stored/still on my van. ...I'm switching over to a very slightly better one than needs left n right corners doing - marginally slightly less welding 🙄 Anyways I'll message you...

I've one spare - read hatch (?)- has inner lower edge rot spread between the pressed holes but outer skin is good.

https://www.donedeal.ie/carparts-for-sale/vintage-vw-engine-handle-start/38356445 Not sure if it's this has been linked on here before - looks like an early 36hp (?) industrial engine - he's knocked it down to 150!! Tinware etc probably worth that these days, but it'd be a shame to bust it...

.... always the possibility of one or two in shed collection along with various other classic makes, secreted away for decades; a tight lipped collector of all makes n brands, n with the generational shift to everything in a digital non physical world, chances of these long held treasures being...

Just messaged you there 👍

Cool; I'm in south Tipperary, but I hope to get a mate who resides in Dublin to pick them up. I'll message you later to see if he's up for it. Thanks

"Pair of 1300 tp heads and inlet manifolds €30" Id be interested in these; where are you located? Thanks

Not sure why you'd go cutting off the doors even as a last resort - I've gone across it done before but you still need to take off the hinge mount on the pillar with the snot weld/smaller bolts welded to the screws method.... If you were to hack yr doors off you could just go n replace the...

Sound - replied to yr message there.

I've the rails attached to some Honda seats; can be hacked off again from their "wrigleys spearmint welding' joints....🙄 I'm in south Tipp.

No room at the Inn, Tim. I just commented that it didn't look 'too horrendous' as I got the impression it was hanging altogether from other reports of it... I spose I like air-cooled VW's the same as everyone else on here; be nice to see it saved 'watching from the sidelines' ... It's got a few...

Doesn't look too horrendous rust wise.

...I've always wondered if there was a trend of 'badging up' 1600's as 1300S' - as I mentioned on another thread on these I remember one on an estate in Monaghan - same estate as one of the relatives lived n it was definitely orange but had 1300s badging. That one was modded with flared wings n...

This latest one on DD appears early on, on his list - YMI124 - Wexford 3/73 - 7/73 Tomato Red

https://www.donedeal.ie/vintagecars-for-sale/1973-vw-gt-beetle/35813872 ...dunno about a bargain, but it this 1300S has been liberated out of the shed... Previous restoration that needs restoring again, which probably won't fill an potential buyer with optimism, but I spose it did get saved...

Is it the same fella in Kilmallock? I never really looked at that blue beetle as, as you said it was pricey enough for a rusty beetle needing everything. Not sure what you have in mind for a build but I have a couple of solid front beams, for a bit of horse trading on a body later down the line...

I saw that one alright - Where are you based?

If you come across a complete but rotten Beetle in your search ; say one with the usual 10inches of rot n frillyness all the way round, but half decent otherwise, I'd take the body for another 'purists worrying themselves into an early grave ' project I have in my head .... ...to complete the...
