CUSTOM OFFROAD IS MOVING - VW GArage Sale Sun 24 Jul 05

Hi Guys,

For those of you who are not aware Custom Offroad Components is currently in the process of having a huge clean up and moving to no 30 Hayward St. That is the shed behind where we are now. Due to this we will probably continue to be a little slow in answering emails and posting on the forum until mid next month.

We will continue to trade throughout this period and the mailing address / phone numbers and email will remain the same. The new shed will be completely setup and we will be back better than ever by mid August. We hope that the new shed will better meet our growing needs and allow us to offer a better range of services and higher quality products. Increasing our internet presence, mail order options and carrying a larger range of restoration parts and services. We will also be introducing a few new products to our range to complement our existing parts.

As a result of over 30 years of working on VW's and retiring numerous makes and models we have quite a lot of surplus VW stuff we no longer need. So if you are looking for something or just like the idea of sorting through heaps of VW stuff then we will be holding a garage sale on Sunday 24 Jul 05. Basically everything we want to move on will be sitting in the front shed in piles with prices on it. There will be a $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50 piles and a few item that will be individually priced. There will also be a FREE pile.

Stuff we will be offloading will include but not be limited to:

Workshop tools and equipment - most old, broken and past its used by date for commercial use, fine for fix up or home use.
Old shelving and cupboards priced to move.
VW Panels
VW wheels and tyres , lots of odd sizes and rims.
Air cooled VW parts to suit Kombi, beetle, type 3 early and late.
Engines, carbi's, tinware
Piles of Crap ….

All parts will be pick up only and it really is a case of come and look as we will not be posting parts or sorting through trying to find a particular part to answer someone enquiry. We are looking at moving bulk stuff quickly and easily and the prices will reflect this desire.

For those of you who have been to the shop you will know there is VW stuff everywhere. Much of which we do not need, use or even know is there.

The stuff we keep, will be cleaned, catalogued and listed on the website in our new 2nd VW parts section. Once organised we will begin our collection again in a more organised fashion.

Hopefully I will see a few of you there.

Thanks for your support.

Please don't U2U or email us asking for stuff as our net access will be very limited for the next few weeks while we re-route cables

Cheers,

Brad, Dave, Terry and Pete

Instead u can come to The 50th Anniversary Karmann Ghia run😉

Must unload the mangels and type 3 spare seats from the trailer before this happens 😁
not that I think I may pick up more extraneous VW crap that I'll never use😊

What time are you starting? Don't want to arrive at 7am to find out everything has gone. Am looking for a few things.

me thinks you wont be the only ones..

Starts 9.00am .. Our pile is growing so there should be some good stuff there for those who like to collect VW stuff.

Some of it needs attentions such as a few batwing steering wheels I found upstairs. But since they will be in the $5 pile what do you expect..

such a tease brad...

😉 he he he

To everyone who's going: I'm after a couple of semaphores, please keep an eye out for some for me! Unfortunately I can't get there myself. If you find any in reasonable condition you can call me on 02 6296 6363. Of course I'll pay you a finder's fee!

shotgun the ej22 and adaptor plate and... in the freebies pile!😀 im either drunk or dreamin...

I think you might be dreamin in the free pile... but never know what they have in that place...

but i can agree with his earlier comment, there is a hell of a lot of stuff in there... boxes of it in some places.. oops, thats the new stuff 🙄 ah bugger it, just sell that to us as well 🙂

Sale is on from 900 - 1200 Sharp. Doors will shut at 1200.

So there is no confussion, this is a GARAGE SALE not a swap meet. There will be piles of parts with prices on them. If you want something in a pile you pick it up and pay for it. Simple.

There will be buckets of stuff you are more than welcome to go through.

Piles will be Free - $1 - $2 - $5 - $10 - $20 - $50 and there are a few labeled items outside these prices.

We are not taking orders or pulling stuff out in particular. We are trying to make some room.

Also have Tyre fitter and tyre balancer both working well when unplugged. Old and solid $150 each, engine stand for VW engine $50, Stcik shift auto beetle box's, auto tye 3 box's, heaps of steering wheels, engine tine ware, panels, stocks heads, cranks, cams, push rods, rockers, and piles of crap. Condition on all items is as seen unless stated otherwise.

Not long now !!!!

Man hat shits you...... we go to the trouble of leaving the bin there so people can get stuff out if they want and they don't even have the descency to clean up.....

You have to love the LCD's of the VW world .... yes VW LCD's cause a non VW person would not have bothered looking now would they ....

Old Dubber go a wheel balancer and tyre fitter .....

That is low indeed. :vader

Brad,

Oh yes,
