I have this 1600 engine here that I'm not going to get too involved with as it's not something I *need* at the moment and I already have too many projects ;) it's a 1600 twin port with dog-house oil cooler. single hot-spot pre-heat pipe. it's got the universal case with rear engine mounting bar...

I was just down with a neighbour of mine there this evening, he's after buying a '73 1300 beetle as a project. It's got a YIP reg, same as my beetle. Interesting history behind it, it was won in a competition back in '73 with a caravan attached!! It still has the genuine VW towbar and it came...

anyone got an empty red rear plate and the letters T, Z and W and numbers 9,9 and 4 going spare? I'm trying to make up a suitably rat-look number plate for the rear of the raT3, the rear one is missing off it. Will exchange parts for cash ;)

I know it's that time of year when every tin-pot parish in the country has a "tractors and dog shite" day out for the local turnip-eaters. Next Sunday is Stradbally's turn. It's not the huge "Steam Rally" where you get a particular breed of turbo-turnip-eaters, that'll be a few weeks from now...

not going to appeal to everyone here but I know some of you Eircoolers have watercooled skeletons in your closets too ;) These are ideal tyres if you're looking for "more lows" as they put it, or for stretching onto mad wide wheels. I have a set of 4x Fulda Carat 175/50R13 tyres with 23 miles...

anyone been to one? They seem to be in a different part of the country every month. I think I'll go to this one: http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/vintagecars/3453320 it's only over the road...

Anyone got a round-lamp upper grille for a type25/T3 for sale? Ratty/dirty is fine. I'd prefer if it was intact and not broken though. DO NOT want a new one ;)

if you're of a delicate disposition, look away now, it's not aircooled, it's not old, it's not even German!! in addition to the T3, I'm also breaking Caroline's 00 micra. It's a 1 litre 16V, 5 speed. Was in daily use until last thursday when it recieved a side-on smack...

I'm trying to fix up my long abandoned mountain bike with a view to taking the babby for spins around the country lanes/woodland round here. I need: a right side 7-speed gripshift mechanism a rear axle to suit a quick-release skewer. I welded up the broken one on it but I'd sooner go with a...

while rooting out the dash for mac I found a box of stuff I'd put away a while back and forgotten about. pair of aluminium decklid standoffs €5 (€7 posted) set of stainless steel front anti-roll bar clamps €10 (€12 posted) 2x pairs of horn grilles €5 per pair posted also 12V window...

this is always pretty big and a nice day out if the weather cooperates. It's in a field that the cows are probably currently grazing/shitting on so not really suitable for very low cars. Plus it's attended by fat headed farmers so expect your car to be sat on/used as a scratching post while its...

the owner of the Derby I sorted out is thinking of selling up. I thought I might give the headsup here before he puts it on Donedeal/VAGdrivers. it's a '79 car, Tipperary reg. Barn find condition (i.e. ratty paintwork) but with completely overhauled brakes, suspension, engine, etc. The only...

surplus to requirements. Just the fan and cowl, no radiator. Motor tested and working €20

I'm looking for a few used (working) 4 foot fluorescent lighting units. It doesn't matter what type, even if they're for recessing into a suspended ceiling, I'm going to lash them to the walls of the back shed. It's like the black hole of calcutta out there at the moment, I need some light to...

nothing's being given away for free as far as I can see but some discounts... 1303 windscreen for €26 + VAT is a screaming deal though. I'd jump on it just to have as a spare if I had a 1303. http://vagdrivers.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=79446&view=getnewpost

chap I know is selling the engine out of his newly restored split bus. It's a new (well it was new when fitted) VW Mexico 1600 engine with circa 3000 miles on the clock. So as close to brand new as you're going to get. Price wise he's open to offers. I'm not sure if it's complete ready to bolt...

I'm after a good working fuel cut off solenoid for a stock solex carb. 12V please :)

this is the commonly accepted best way to upgrade the drivers seat in your bus for comfort. The flat bottom of the Saab seat makes it perfect for the relatively tall seat plinth in the bus. My mate has this one for sale: for sale in North Co. Dublin (near Donabate). €50 buys is and you can...

anyone in dire need of a left side 3-point beetle seat in black basketweave? It's been in the loft for too long and I don't see myself needing it any time soon... €20

I'm looking for something like this: no bars needed, I have those :) just the box. Lockability is a must. It would be nice if it was in good condition, i.e. hasn't come into contact with multi-storey carpark height barriers ;) anyone?
