WTB beetle stuff in tassie
Hey everyone I keep finding parts I want and need for my beetle and instead of posting lots of wanted adds I thought I should start a "wanted
list"
I'd prefer parts located in Tassie where possible.
so far I need (to suit a 62 beetle)
front and rear bumpers
left and right rear guards
drivers side front guard
drivers door
all the chrome bits (badge, door handles, indicator housings etc.)
this is all i can think of so far
Cheers
Mike

Finding all those parts close by...
would be very good luck Mike,,, lol
I collected all My parts over 8 years ...
and from all over....
things like doors and guards are expensive to freight....
keep an eye on ebay too...
there are a few people on here from Tasmania so maybe they can help You find bits....
cheers

Couple of ideas, have you joined the Tas VW Club?
http://www.vwtas.org/
Would be a good place to make local contacts and find people who can help you with parts.
Lookup forum Tas member ragtop - Ed, he might be able to help you as well.
I Don't know if Nino at Bocchino Motors might be able to help you as well, local VW mechanic
http://www.bocchinomotors.com.au/

Kind Regards

I have thought about joining the club but to me it sort of feels weird joining a car club without a going car.
It's funny that you mention Bocchinos because I'm of the belief that if you live in sourthern tas you don't own a real vw unless it has a Bocchinos
or Andrew Robinson sticker 
cheers

Where in Tassie are you - I have some parts in the Colebrook area that might be suitable.
