WTD to Buy: Hi, I need replacement sills for a project I'm working on. I would prefer to use good condition beetle ones instead of new brazilian replacements, so if you can help please send me a u2u.

The other option is for me to buy an accident damaged shell and remove the sills myself, I'm happy either way:thumb

Location: Sydney prefered

Cheers

Fair point, but there might be an accident damaged car car out there - I chopped the sills out of a rolled Beetle for my CB resto

Are the new ones of good quality or are they like the Brazilian bumpers and guards that rust while you are looking at them?
