Hi mate just got your PM
Can you post a pic of get a part number from anything.
With Vw parts its quite important to establish the year of them, as it can have quite a drastic effect on price.
for example a pair of indicators for my 1949 beetle were Ł600 a pair o bought for my 1970 last month were Ł25
If they are 60's on then best site is
volkszone /vzi
http://www.volkszone.com/VZi/subscri...n&folderid=all
The samba is also good, its an american site, but lots of uk members
http://www.thesamba.com/vw/
If the parts are older then try my old regular site
Pre67vw
http://forums.pre67vw.com/default.aspx
Try get some pics up mate, PM me again if you prefer, ill try and identifiy them a bit better, as you could be on to a small fortune there.
If they are split/oval parts, well i know a chap who just spent Ł20k restoring his 1000cc 22bhp 1948 engine!!!!
and the other extreme a set of 1641 od 1776cc pistons, heads also fetch good money!!
hope this helps

2 heads
4 piston's and cylinder liners
2 set's of vw steel wheel's with new tyres
a wolfsburg edition steering wheel
a box with brand new carpet trim's, i'm guessing their beetle or vw of some sort, boxes of vw rear light's vwbeetle wheel centre cap's
a mint 3 door parcel shelf! and loads of other litle bit's and bob's
