    For Sale - 1964 Patina'd Bug "The POS"

    Unfortunately, it’s time to sell this one. Want to purchase something different (non VW) and don’t have the storage space. If I had the space, I’d keep it as it’s going to kill me to let it go. Most of you will know the car. It’s a 1964 Bug which came from the U.S. back in 2010. I purchased it...

    [Wanted: Parts] Seat Back Frame 1958 - 1964

    Probably a long shot but does anyone have a seat back frame for a '58 - '64 front seat? I have the main frame but the light frame with the springs is in poor condition with missing and broken springs. Similar to pic below.

    [Wanted: Parts] 1958-1964 Beetle Front Seats

    Looking for a pair of '58 - '64 front seats for the POS. Apparently, I have '66 seats & the set of seat covers I have won't fit them. Either someone has a pair to sell or else someone will take the '66 ones in a swap. I'll need the cushions too but not bothered about the covers.

    A local guy here is restoring his 1975 Bug at the moment and gave me a call this morning.

    [Wanted: Parts] Sunvisor

    Just wondering if anyone out there has an External Sun Visor for a beetle that they wouldn't mind parting with? Would need to be the type that clamps on to the rain gutter and not the kind that needs holes drilled in the car. Thanks, Kieran.
