Good to hear about another 76, but a shame to hear it will be Baja'ed. I've just started on my 76 rebuild as well. It was going well until I started work on the C-pillar rust........

Hey, tasbaja, if you don't need your bumpers let me know, I'm in need of some for a 76. If you are in Tas, I'll be in Hobart this weekend if that helps. PM sent

Sounds like a deal. Can you get me some dimensions and and a weight so I can see how much it will cost to send up to Sydney. Also your postcode. Will PM you my e-mail address.
Also any chance of a couple of pics? I assume they are the correct 76 bumpers, ie front with cut outs for the indicators.
Cheers

I can only show you the rust at the moment, fix is pending, but I'd say a crash course in welding may be needed.馃槩

No dramas, if you send me the pics, I'll quickly check them out and then can arrange to send you some cash. I've found a way to get them to Sydney that hopefully won't cost me a pound of flesh. Meanwhile will be happy to share the experiences of doing a 76 Beetle!
