Theres a thread a page or so back where another user was looking for one... I've one I'd sell - looks to be a 'back in the day' aftermarket catalogue job - functionality over form ye could say... ...I spose latts etc could be put on it for the 'accessorised" look, 'all the fruit' or whatever...

Youve the early 'up to 73' rails so mine won't fit your beetle unless you start stripping both sets of front seats n start transfering covers, or retro fitting the later style of rails n some sort of front bracket attachment n that's all very long-winded You'd think that the black seats that...

....I don't have any pics on hand - deep in storage; I'd have to rake them out. Is your beetle the 3points mounting style front seats, before I start raking them out? Ones I have are the 3point - I think 73 is the year they went from sliders to golf style 3point / front locking pin style mounts...

If yr still looking, i've a full set of later black 3 point seats - there's the odd rip in them eg on the back of thr back rest part - original coverings it looks like.

Are you looking for just the nose cone?

Thanks

...your a bit away from me so, I'm in Tipperary!! ...I might be up in Cavan round end of July if nobody more local claims it before that !

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
