Starting to make a new pile of parts to bring out.

Just found a NOS VW ignition switch for beetle 1954 - 1967 with keys.  Still in a Speedway VW bag.

Anybody have experience at the border bringing a load of parts either way? I'd love to come up to do the swap meet, but I get a little nervous when it comes to the border.

Alright guys and gals... The swap is getting closer. Time to help spread the word and make this a big one.

I'll be filling the van with parts to bring out, who else is coming to sell/swap?

We may pre reserve spots if we have lots of intrest.

We've brought parts down to Vintage Meet several years. All depends on who you get but in the more recent years they've sent us in. Told us that's "direct sales" and that we're taking a job away from a US citizen. After a 20 minute lecture they make us pay a $10 user fee and let us across with all our parts. We've always priced things to sell and haven't had to come back across with much.

i'll be coming out to swap/sell. let me know if i have to pre-reserve! :cool:
Title: Re: Winter swap meet, Feb 10 2013
Post by: Geoff on February 03, 2013, 09:06:30 AM
No need to pre reserve, we would like everyone to pull in, unload their parts then park outside giving everyone enough room to swap. If your bringing a trailer full of stuff we will find a good spot outside close to the main doors.
Please spread the word! just one week to go!

As much as I'd like to meet a bunch of you and hang out for the day, I'm not going to make it up next weekend. I just got home after more than a week away. No time to get organized for this. If anybody needs Ghia parts, look me up. Maybe I'll see you at the Spring Meet in Bellevue in April.
Title: Re: Winter swap meet, Feb 10 2013
Post by: LateBaySteve on February 07, 2013, 08:21:40 PM
I'll be there. Ive got lots of VDO gauges and baywindow stuff.

This time I won't follow the directions on my phone to the middle of nowhere - show up an hour late - and fail to get a swap spot.
Title: Re: Winter swap meet, Feb 10 2013
Post by: owdlvr on February 08, 2013, 01:22:52 PM
We've also had folks, who aren't in our "usual" crowd, answer the Craigslist Ad about getting some swap space.

So, lots of the usual folks and some new blood. Everyone knows who to beat for first-viewing deals!

Hope to see lot's of ASF members and VW friends out this sunday.

I'm also looking for some Porsche Fuchs 4 1/2, 5 1/2, deep 6's etc....

I just pm'd Chris about the bracelet.  It was given to my twin nieces at yesterday's swap.  Mystery has been solved.

Pretty sure those were 4.5" wide ones, not the 5.5" sport wheels. Otherwise they would have gone home with me...
