Dismantling begins 7/04/2013




























































 
 
While everything looks okay and indeed the car is solid as a rock, you can see that it is due for a bit of work to get it back into the condition that it deserves.
 
I have already removed a lot of the interior carpeting as you will see from some of the images so today I removed the front fenders, the side trim and all of the lights (as well as some other items like the interior mirror, wipers and windscreen).
 
All of the removed items and fasteners have been boxed or bagged and stored for safe keeping while I continue to dismantle the car down to the body shell.

Hot VW's Magazines


It was hot here today in Adelaide so I stayed inside and decided to tidy up the VW magazines by arranging in chronological order etc.
 
I need to find about a dozen Hot VW's magazines to complete my collection by the looks of it.

NOS Velvet Green L512 Notchback Fender Beading

 
Took me about 15 years but I now have 2 x sets of NOS Velvet Green L512 fender beading to suit notchback's. The best set will end up on the 1500 'S' and the spares will remain that way.
 
Some of the hardest parts to find thus far have been these!
 
If anyone has spares, please get in contact with me.
