I'm looking to get some bits off an IRS pan to tidy up one I already have. A damaged pan or one that has had the IRS bits removed would be ideal.
Thanks
Ian

I don't ask for much:
It has to be an IRS pan
It has to have provenance (ie VW numbers)
Rust free would be nice..... but not essential.
I even had cash in my pocket.
Just back from a wasted trip - fortunately only 25 minutes each way:
1 - it isn't IRS - but he reckons it is. I've got news for him.
2. - Seven faint punched in numbers in a groove (starting with a 2) just don't cut it.
3 - it's in beautiful nick - no rust, nicely painted.
It didn't come home with me - and no - it doesn't belong to anyone we know around here.

WHAT DO YOU NEED
IT WOULD MAKE THIS A LOT EASIER

I need an IRS pan - any condition is OK, but it has to be legit (not like the thing I looked at today, stamped with the $10 flea market number kit)
..... and no - I haven't been through Taree since February.

You might be better asking for a 'trailing arm', 'Super Beetle style' or 'CV-joint' rear suspension, especially with less technically minded enthusiasts because technically they ARE all IRS 'Independent Rear Suspension'.

Got one - 1970 semi-auto. Thanks Volksbahn! Now comes the welding bit. Time to put in my Volvo seat mounts and swap over my suspension and, and ......

happy to help ... good luck

Ahh - it looks very different already. Its sitting up on a couple of stacks of old BBS rims (nothing cheap about my stands). One pan half is off and there's only a few spots still to drill on the other. Next step ....... clutch tube.
