Hi All,
A friend and myself has been developing a set of moulds for early type one guards for those wanting a set of perfect early guards and not wanting to fix the rust and dents that come along with them.
These were moulded of my perfect 54 guards and have turned out very nice. They can be layed up in thick, normal or lightweight as the ones you can see here. We just have a few little nicks I would like to touch up around the headlight bucket and then we are good to go.
The cost is around 220 per guard but it would be better to call the person who is actually selling them.

C'mon kids gather round,
there's a new sensation hitting town,
It's moving straight, low to the ground,
it'll pick you up when your feeling down.
VERY NICE!!

I think if these are going to continue to be sold into the future, this thread should be a 'sticky'.
Great work!

I thought rebuilding a VW would be cheap - Shit I was wrong, just don't let the wife know !!!!

oorsum, i'm so over rust!!........won't be long and i'll be ordering a set. especially love the recessed horn grill as i have some blinkers that will fill them perfectly

tell Barry they look great and don't forget you'll need some sort of tab at the top of the headlight bucket to to monunt the headlight off
can we get a special NSW mould done with the headlight buckets raised a couple of inches
😂........that'll trick em!
Very funny, i will mention the raised buckets.

Definitely interested in a full set 🙂 Do they come 2" wider for all corners ?
There will be 2" fronts after the 2" inch rears are finished.

,
hi them photos there of the fenders there.. are they widened or stock size? thanks a heap
hey turbo54, i ordered a set from barry a while ago (more than 15 weeks) and well there hasnt been much indication that they are being made, do you know if he is still in the business and do u know if he is making them anymore, apparently hes up in america or something.. i cant get hold of him
sweet looks good
What my garage isn't messy........Well chaos is a form of order isn't it?
Hey Mate,
I have not spoken to him for a few weeks and I am waiting for a set of rears for myself in the same batch. I will call him and get his butt into gear. The last I heard was that yes he is still making them, the guy who lays them up got a really big contract worth mega bucks and hasn't had time to do Barry's guards.
I will see and post on here.
Thanks
Heath
