Title: Parts hunting this weekend
Post by: Geoff on February 25, 2013, 08:47:59 AM
Ill be out scrounging around some very cool air cooled wrecking yards and vw collections this weekend. I can't bring back large items but if I find what you need maybe they can ship it? Small parts are no prob, post up what your looking for and I'll keep an eye open.

2. And, I'm still looking for Baywindow slider door lock cylinder with attached parts to fit a '69... complete door handle is easier to grab I think. The key code with "L" in it, not "R".

Cool Geoff,

Preferably a 58 vin tag, model 231 (Kombi), but 56-59 would do.
