I know it is a long shot, but I'm after a rust free LHD drivers door for a '65/'66 bug.

The '65/'66 doors are a two year only part, with larger windows and the chrome handles inside for opening the door.

I'd like some bay dropped spindles and horseshoe plates from Wagenswest also...

 

[Htotheunit]

a pair of rust free bay doors wouldn't go a miss

let me know if you find any =)

 

[flynster]

[carole]

you may regret your (very generous) offer...... :lol: :lol:

well done you for being brave enough to offer though... :wink:

 

[ddffrost]

i've been looking for a swamp cooler if you could find me one whilst your over in the land of the fat man?

 

[Simon Hall]

Its a nice offer dude but I made this offer once, if your bus gets inspected it just ain't worth the hassle and stuff from VW's gets nicked and damaged more and more from the shippers so who would they blame?
And its not only by unknowns that do the thieving :evil:
PS I have a swamp cooler for sale!! oh and some rust free doors

 

[ddffrost]

i'll take that swamp cooler dude

got any pics?

Forgot to say welcome to Earlybay and thanks for the generous offer. I shouldn't worry too much about the bits I mentioned in my post, but if you stumble across them...

Anyways, welcome to Earlybay
Any pictures of the van which is to be yours?

Yea if it's not nailed down then it will go for walkies at the shippers. The guys at the docks will nick anything.

I wish it was just the guys at the docks, been told about a vw trader from the uk that was caught nicking stuff out of a bus also, and thats just real bad would like to think thats not true but it came from the guy that caught him!!
They say stuff is secure at the shippers, thats just crap, you can walk off the street, go into the cars and do what you want!!!!!

I have heard of one split bus a guy here in Cork bought and had shipped to UK, he sent the local recovery guy to collect and the next day he arrived...

..with the wrong bus!

Nobody asked any questions or stopped him as he loaded up and drove out of the dockyard.
