66 Beetle repair panels

Thats what I meant when I said expensive. The small diy,ers are a couple
of hundred.

He,s at it full time then, on his own or what. V dubs, or all sorts.

He's only into German parts, and when I say german. If it dosen't have the VW logo, he won't buy it.
I think the man should be recorded, as he has so much information on these cars. He goes off to Germany everyone once and a while and brings new old stock parts back. he got me concours Marathon hubcaps,
thanks to Brendan O' Brien for spotting them !!

im liking that attitude ! great motivator

 

[Tim]

Yeah too right. There,s nothing in that beetle that a few panels, a good mig
and plenty of tlc , wont put right, and time of course. Not too many 66 beetles around now,
and its worth the work.

'We don't have problems here, just opportunities'

It looks basically good really - is it an Irish reg? looks like 'PZ' but it can't be...

 

[Tim]

Plus front bottom of the inner wings, baby quarters on the back, 2 floor pans,
front door pillar bottoms, and a wee bit more in other spots.

NI...Belfast reg

Are you sure? The only Irish (north and south) 'NI' reg that I'm familiar with is Wicklow. I've seen various 'I' and 'Z' registration letters from Belfast (I've relatives there) but 'NI' looks a bit odd...

 

[Tim]

Sorry, Northern Ireland............Belfast reg.....4798 PZ ( Belfast )
