Hey guys I have recently purchased a 1962 vw beetle it has minimal rust and the body is in decent shape. It currently has a 1300 engine in it, i think it has seen better days. Anyway i'm just looking for front and rear bumpers, indicator covers, original seats and the original exhaust system.
Thanks,
Pete
I have to make sure it will fit the car first because the people i bought it from changed the entire system.
Post up some photos Peter!
Would be very keen to have a look see at your beetle 🙂
awesome i'll have a look at it tomorrow when i get it back from the auto electrician. Do you guys know anyone who restores vintage steering wheels? I bought one from ebay and it came with a few cracks in it.
This is it. I have only had it for two weeks now
So far i have pulled the interior out (it was carpet glues to chip board), pulled the seats out and got rid of the surface rust on the floor and treated it, covered the door cards in black vinyl, re wired the car because someone stuffed around with the wires, got a new starter motor, hub caps, sound system and removed the fog lights. She's a bit of a bitsa but the engine is pretty sweet and goes 110 on the freeway.
I saw this car ages ago, wondered what had happened to it and now I know what did happen.
Nice Vitaloni Baby Turbo windows, seems they wanted a Germanlook going on on an early model.
What year is it exactly?
Yeah i got it for a steal 1500 it said on the rego papers it's a 62. the interior was pretty bad when i first got it and it had to be push started... it's all fixed now 🙂. originally they wanted 2200 for it.
Yeah, was it up in the hills or something, Uncle sad he saw it up near Bridgewater/Aldgate way?
Would be keen to lend a hand if needed mate, love to get out and help 🙂
Yeah found it at algate, i have so much i want to do to it. It has torana tail lights at the moment and i want them gone, they look like crap. I'll post some more pics when i get it back tomorrow and thanks i probably need help haha
Yeah man, that's the one!
I used to have torana taillights too, horrible stuff. The 80's bought some silly stuff to beetles, was awkward looking...
Don't get me started on the Carrera kits!
Oh sand the mirrors are gone couldn't see anything with them
Haha i know hey, i wanna get chrome front and rear bumpers, you know of anyone in Adelaide that has them for a reasonable price?
I have a front one that is good to go, but no rear unfortunately.
$20 and it is yours, best come and take a look! 🙂
