anyone got a beetle ready to be cut up that (beyond all odds) still has the corners highlighted below in good, rust-free condition? I need both the outer and inner skins, i.e. the bottom corners of the roof panel and the rain tray/reinforcing panel from inside.

Well that's great. :)

Have they already been cut out or will you cut them as needed? If the latter, Can you just send a pic of what you have before you cut please?

Hi all,
If you get sorted Trev, I'm also looking for the same so if anyone else has them I'll take them.
Thanks
Pete.

Sorry boss, should have them here will have a quick look again in the morning- but to be honest if it was me I'd be repairing them? Don't look overly bad, and if you cut that out you'll have to be good to make sure that corner is sitting right to match with engine lid. Can you not repair? Or would you cut bits of the donor section and graft in?

that's it Shane, I'd be cutting bits of the donor metal to repair the rot. I'd need to make sure I have enough from the donor to allow me some wriggle room to get the section I need just right. You know yourself.

let me know what you have. Cheers :)

I cut them out how fast do you need them?

that's great, thanks Britt :)

well, what options are available to us? I don't mind paying for postage if you don't mind packing them up. I can paypal you the cost of the parts plus postage.

I don't need them right now but will be ready for them in a couple of weeks.
