hey guys with the wife approval I went out and checked a old garage that was a great place for getting used parts back 15yr ago !! the guy is selling off all his used Air cooled vw parts now!! and wants them all gone in the next few months !! I have no pics yet but will soon!
I will be picking up a few parts next week a front bumper for 20$ in mint shape and anything else I can get !!(for my bay)
he was so nice he took me out to the parts shed and said pull out anything you want and the more you get the cheaper the bill will get !!he trusted me me alone (is odd for this guy!!)
if people are looking for stuff I can go and have a look and see if he has it and we can work out details about payment and shipping if he has the parts??or I can give you his phone ## and you can work somthing out with him!! I will be droping by there on Monday or tuesday'ish Jan-08-10-ish!! let me know if you do need a part and send me a pic or give me the best discription of the part and if I find what you want I will send you pics to make sure its the proper part and you want it !!?? now mostly he has bug parts doors, windows, hoods ect.... bus parts >> well I would not know if it was a split or bay part if it hit me in the head!! but I will do the best that I can like I said I will post pics next week for sure !! so if you want to wait to see the pics and check to see if anything is worth wild dats cool!!
cheers SPICE

DEFINITELY BRING YOUR DIGITAL CAMERA...
when the N.U.T.S. see the photos they'll be able to identify the parts... then the sales will start to happen!

Dude, it they are real original Radars you've hit the jackpot. I'd tell you to put my name on them but that would be wrong. Get a picture of the wheels! The rest of the stuff I saw looked a bit new for me. some type 3 stuff, perhaps some ghia stuff as well. There's $200.00 worth of stuff there for sure for the right project even without the wheels.

Screw being wrong, can I call dibs on the Radars? ;D Mowser you beat me to it! I'd love to see pics of them too.
If it were me, I'd probably go for it. Most may not be worth a whole lot, but I'm sure you could make alot more than $200 back from the good stuff.

I would definetly buy a speedo or 2! I'm looking for a '68 beetle one with a fuel gauge or a pre'68 with a trip meter. Or any in KPH. I didn't see any beetle fenders in the pics, but I would be interested in any pre-67 beetle fenders. I'm also interested in the Raders as well! ;D I could also use a good dog house fan shroud if there is one in there (if not, does anyone have one they want to sell?)

What can I say I'm new on the forum and trying to be the good guy. I'd love them too... I'm just messin around! Although I have been lusting after a set for the Ghia for a long time now. Funny how I couldn't buck up the $800 for a set of replicas but I've almost sunk $3000 so far into the kombi. Shane

I can relate Shane, my "budget" '58 ragtop has been anything but so far. I haven't even started putting things back together and I'm to it for about the same.

hey guys well the wife's not down with me spending any amount of money on anything right now but if I can show her that I can sell off atleast the cost of what we put into it then it would be worth it to me to have a extra tranny sitting around and a nother motor that I can rebuild as spares, you think other than the radars is this pot worth 200bones?? I sure do !!
About the radars for some reson I think they did not look like that! but I have been wrong before!! if there is a set then I would have to say I would keep them!! what I don't understand is that this guy know's his VW's and he not dumb at all so why would he sell me something that was worth some $$ at below market $$ (this will continue ) dpeters81westy >> yours >>20$& you pay shipping you'll have to wait til I get the stuff but I think there was more than one pair of these mielke - I'll take some better pics of the speed-o , I seen 15 of them so chances are maybe one or two are what you are looking for , I do remember seeing one fender but whay yr???
but here is a list of what I can see in the pics 6 bug hoods 10 bug taillights 4engine lids 2 engine blocks 3 tranny's 15 speed-o's and the endless amount of stuff I did not even see or get to and to add the stuff thats under all the junk!!!
I will hit a few friends up for a loan $$ >> NOW I have to get the wife's approval to go and do this >>not to easy with a baby in ICU I will talk to her today and see when I can get this done ?? but help me convice her to do it PLEASE?? cheers SPICE
