WTB Engine firewall/rear luggage shelf panel for 54 or early beetle
vassy66T1 - August 20th, 2012 at 08:14 AM

As stated above I require in good condition (:crazy:) a firewall panel as above. The previous one was botched by the panel beater - not repairable.
I don't want the VW repro one (for later models) as it is totally different
If someone knows of a supplier that makes the early one I am all ears.

Have an early 60's one. Whats the difference?

Early 60's may be fine.
The repro is like one from the '70's with a lot of other pressings. It looks like this.

The early one is like this one.

I am no expert in the differences but would like the "plainer" pressing.
Very happy if yours is like that Marcus (from one Marcus to another)

Marcus,

I have a "fair" one from a '58 that you can have.

Hi Grahame
You are a gentleman as always.
Do you have a pic? (not wanting to be cheeky)

Marcus (luftmeister) do you have a pic also of the engine firewall you have?
Anyone else either have something or know of a supplier.
I just want to check out all options as my panel beating ability is non existent. (that means it will cost for all repair/mod :) )

This is mine. heater channels up to rear vents.

Bump

Still on the look out for one

The better the condition so there is less panel beating is my preference
I am happy to pay up to $200 for a very straight and clean one
