2 x pairs of bay (>72) rear trailing (diaganol) arms
2 x pairs of bay rear brake assemblies (backing plates, drums etc etc)

I wish I had more time to spend at Brad's crazy "all must go" vw bargain closing down sale!

Well guys cheers for the feedback, I really don;t think a lot of people understood that all was going.

Tis all done now though and by the end of the week I will have the front yard back and within a month or so I should have the shed back in a usable order and actually be able to get to the hoist.

I must say that I was pretty suprissed but the lack of people that showed up, I would have though a lot more would have made the trip. All up there was only about 6 or 7 cars that came, at all and a few of where my sucker mates who helped me clean up.

Oh well I guess it just supports the theory that all these people who blog on about saving VW's etc don't actually want to do anything about it.

At the end of the day another 30 plus aircooled VW's are now heading to sims, following the other 80 or so I have sent over the last 12 mths.

Just think of all those cool buggy tracks we can now make without VW's all over the hill side.

Buggy On !!!!

P.S A big thanks must goto the Boys from Custom Vee Dub ( http://www.customveedub.com.au ), they were the only shop that showed any interest in picking up as much stock as possible to keep as many old VW's on the road as possible. So if you need parts for your bugs and buses give them a call. Yes this is a plug but yes they did spend a good 15 hrs pulling stuff and helping me clean up the yard. Very Much appreciated.

Hey brad at least you gave everyone the chance, I would have liked to have grabbed/bought some stuff but time and distance were two big barriers
