i can have a word with a mate 2moro whos a vw specailist lovs all the air cooled dubs see if he know any one who might interested.

 

that'd be very kind mate,

thanks

 

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

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

 

thanks lee, the twins were round as their clued up on their vw stuff, theirs some steel wheels up their with brand new tyres and i think stuart said they were 1967? he was saying that before that they used 5 stud or something? i will get some pic's,

i found

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

could be worth a few quid then do you reckon?

cheers

 

any pics of the steering wheel?

 

if you can get some pics up i can show me mate

 

i can get picture's on the weekend

 

 

just remembered aswell, a vw beetle front beam brand new too

 

Get some part number up mate, i should be able to give you an accurate year and relative price.

First impressions are your easily sitting on at least Ł600 maybe even a grand there!

 

Sounds like you've had a touch there!

 

I only found dust and old bits of carpet in our loft when we moved in

 

haha, in my loft when i moved in a found 4 games of "frustration" some really old and some new and ironically a pornographic barbie doll.

 

 

Result mate!

Maybe we can get the brakes/bonnet trade on the go!

 

did you manage to get any pictures of the stuff??My mate is in the last stages of a full resto of a 67 splitty and was itching to see what you had

 

i didnt get a chance this weekend, was busy working on a car, will get some this week

cheers

 

dont for get to make a note of the part numbers if you want me to identifiy them all and give you a "book" price fiqure for them!

 

Thats a result! Whoever moves into our house when me move out will find loads of shonky old ford bits. LOL

 

if there is any mk1 golf bits i'll be interested

 

i'll defo get pic's and part numbers this week

cheers all

 

 

The steering wheel is a D ring style with an immaculate wolfsburg badge,all the wheels are 4 stud the heads and cylinders are brand new defo from a Karmann Ghia think the plates were "N" reg,my coat is still covered in cobwebs too Ron!!!!

 

My mate runs Pre67vw.co.uk they seem a good bunch on there, offer them up on there and see what happens.
