Hey everyone
I haven’t used Aussie Vee Dubbers in a while and today I bought a factory convertible 1969. It’s all original and has been garaged 4 17 years. it is still licensed and completely original. It hadn’t been started in a while but fired up after a couple of kicks.

1 problem the door has a bit of rust at the bottom. And I was thinking of replacing the left door.

What’s the availability of a door for a factory convertible?
cheers

Congratulations on a good car to buy!

As for the door - i would repair what is there. Will be a lot easier than trying to score a vert door here in Australia.

Only other thing is to get one imported from the states

At least you will have a spare then

Futue te ipsum!!!

good score if its a genuine.
but for $1,000 i doubt it is a genuine factory cab.

Hey, What ever happened to your 58 beetle?.
The one you spent $8 or $9,000 on the candy apple red paint job at the panel beeters.
is it on the road yet?

im just curious because last time i talked to you on msn you seemed intent on saying that vw's are girls cars, cant go fast and that a convertible silvia is better no matter what?

just curious..
