WTB Type 3 Body parts and floor pan section VIC
Beastieboy - November 8th, 2013 at 01:47 PM

Hi all, I'm doing some rust repairs on my 71 squareback and need to get a few body parts that have completely rusted out on my car.

I need:

L&R front bumper mounts
RHS floor pan- only the part under the driver seat required. If you have a LHS floor pan, that would do too.
I also need the inner body panel that sits under the brake reservoir. Most of my LHS has rotted through. Including the 'box' that is spot welded to it in between the inner and outer fender. Sorry, hard to describe. I'll try to attach a photo.

90% of late type 3's rust there , might be easier to fab something up , good luck

Try 'Dragsters for life' he's just cut a wagon up... And is in VIC

Otherwise agree with Mr Klaus easier to make than find...

Or try the lady in phillipines who lists lots of NOS panels on the samba....

Yeh, think it's a combo of spilled brake fluid and the water drain box on the other side being clogged up with dirt.
Was planning on fabricating something, just thought I'd see what was out there.

However the bumper mounts might be a bit hard for me to knock up.
I'll see if I can find a photo of them.

This is all I've got but it's the mount that goes on here. I can replace this rusted metal easily enough but the mount is a tough one

Hey Buddy, if you are anywhere near Kilsyth go into the pickapart wreckers as the have a purple type3 fasty that has got that bumper mount section still when I was there last week. I think the pan was half decsent as well. If u carnt find it let me know & I''ll check it out when I go past in the next day or so. regards mike.:cool:

I have a late fasty in the back yard I want to get rid of. Pretty sure the bumper mounts are OK. I will have to check the other areas. I'd be happy to let you have the whole car for a couple of slabs. I'm in Ferntree Gully (which is 15 min from Kilsyth). If you're close enough to me, let me know and I'll post some photos.

Hey that's awesome, about pick a part and the tasty that you're getting rid of!
Thanks so much for the offer.
I'd love to say yes to the one you're getting rid of purple, but I think my mum might not love another old car sitting in her nice new driveway. ;)
I don't have any off street parking here.
Is there much left of the car? If I can find somewhere to store it I'd have it. But would have to bribe some friends first. :)
