WTB: Beetle steering wheel
Hi guys,
The off white wheel in my 69 bug (yes I know it should be black) is starting to become quite cracked and I am after a new one,
Would prefer black but if you have a white one in good nick it will suffice,
Would also consider an aftermarket wheel if you have one,
Just anything will be better than the shitty one in there
I am located in Melb, eastern suburbs
Show us what you got
Thanks

I reconned mine using epoxy putty, elbow grease and 4-5 coats of spray enamel.
Not sure if I had time to do a close up of the finished article but think you can see it back in my Beetle in my resto thread.
It looks pretty good and had chunks missing from the horn button area and too many cracks to count.
It's just time and money dude and if you check out what a repro costs then a professional restorer would probably charge more than that.
