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...

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...
