WTB rear ashtray for Jenz58 beetle, "Bel"
65busser - October 30th, 2004 at 10:25 PM

I'm in the process of making new door trims for Jenz58's "Bel." We need a real nice rear ashtray as Bel's is a bit passed it. Anyone got one?

Just realised - ours is a 1970 - probably not the same??

Thanks Gaz, I think you're right. It's like this.

Does it really matter what it looks like???

and You wouldn't let anyone smoke in Your Beetle anyway...

better to search the wreckers for a nice lamp to fit there instead of ash trays.... which will be banned shortly....

I installed lamps from ford fairlanes etc in a Mitsubishi van I had many years ago...

Lamps are more usefull too.... for reading etc....

Lee,
I'm glad you asked that question, because now everything makes sense. How do we get to your planet?

Dude, you need to get some help, Seriously. If you have been looking at Bel's Progress, you will UNDERSTAND why she needs a nice one. When you RESTORE a car, you ant it to look correct, not with F#@kn ford lamps and shit....God lee, would you say something useful for a change.

Brad, If you dont end up finding one, would it be worth chroming that one?

George don't worry about the ashtray just send the Judson, and Rhys, dunno about the type 3. Could be the same but I reckon they might not have the ivory handle.
If either of you could find one that'd be great. Thanks guys.
