Melburg Luft

Gee you boys can get your knickers in a twist over a little bit of criticism! Hertz, I couldn't care less about the 3% commission, i'm not that stupid to think that a little VW forum would be making a fortune out of directing people to a sponsors website. I was a little peeved that the last 2 questi...

this argument

i do realise they support the site and yes their prices are great and that's why i buy the majority of my parts from them, but when you only need one item the shipping is not worth it. i'm just saying i don't think the broken record of "check our sponsors" needs to be played every time som...

that would be awesome thanks Nug!

why do i feel like i'm listening to commercial radio every time i come on this site lately? are CIP giving free reach arounds for every plug they get?

Hi guys,

Is anybody wrecking a type 3 or have a speedo cable lying around?

or alternatively, who is the best to contact in melburg for one?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, a working speedo would be helpful

thanks guys, looks like i've found a car... it's a notch but i'm very happy

Hi guys, I'm looking for a 'good' pre 70 squareback to be my new daily, not after another project. So provided it has a reasonable body and mechanicals (ie. maybe a couple of weekends work) then i'm keen. I don't want to be replacing sills, floorpans etc. as i'm just too busy with work. Any way, if ...

come pick up that engine and i'll throw in some short axle tubes with end housings

Thanks mate but already spoke to Bugboy about some other stuff and i'm heading down to his in a couple of weeks for a whole heap of stuff so all sorted!

54/55 front seats would be sweet but i could deal with later oval seats

I thought batwing referred to the 'up to 55' wheels? anyhow, yes, up to 55 wheel

Howdy guys!

I'm chasing the following parts in the following conditions;

- Front and rear oval bumpers including brackets (the shittier the better!)
- Batwing steering wheel (any condition)
- Front seats (any condition)

Any help whatsoever would be greatly appreciated

Cheers,

Muz

MaineBugs wrote:what else do you need?

hmmm really just wanting to get the pan sorted so i can get it rolling on the ground this year and possibly finished, so just the rear end parts noted really.

Oh and a set of tie-rods would be handy.
