Garage Sale!

I know I'm not the only one with boxes of spare parts in my garage. Now I MIGHT need some of that stuff someday but I bet somebody in this group needs something in there right now. I'm still stuck at work but I can still get the ball rolling from memory:

hood handle with no badge

right teardrop tailight unit with faded red lens

FiberFab bumpers with guards (scuffed, red)

Fiberfab roll bar with mounting brackets

Lecarra black "leather" wheel

Speedster script

Mystery seats (black vinyl/grey cloth, supposed to be from a Beetle)

more stuff when I get home

All this stuff in used condition. Cheap! Free to anyone who shows up at my door with a Speedster.

Come on, post your junk!

I could probably find a space for that Speedster script. Send me an email at ajw37 AT pitt DOT edu.

Thanks :)

Wouldn't mind looking at those seats. Where you at?

i'll take the hood handle-let me know how to pay. thanks
How about door handles-any laying about?

Anyone in need of a brand new 12 circuit CMC/Streetbeast Wiring Harness, new trunk lid,trunk lid hinges,turn signal switch?
Al

Al
do you have the engine lid or the hood? I'm looking for an engine lid, if you have one shoot me an email. brianvanpelt at verizon dot net.

Brian,
If you can not find an engine cover, let me know. I can pretty much get any body panel for a CMC widebody.
Jim

Brian,
I have the hood!
Al

Al, does that hood have holes drilled in it already? My hood's cracked up the middle where those holes used to be ...
Hold me in the interested in the hood category. Whaddya want for it?

Allan,
I'm not familiar with how the wirng harnesses come. Are they all labelled, any connectors, schematic, etc? How much do you want for it. How many circuits does the average speedster need?
Steve.

Steve, at least seven. A VW fuse block comes with eight, if you want the old-style ceramic fuses.
Figure one for the ignition, one for the accessory switch, one for the head and tail lamps, one for the turn signals, one for the brake lights, one for your gauges and one for your wipers -- at a minimum.
There would be more if you have a radio, et cetera.
My fuse block isn't powering all that much stuff; I've subdivided everything into its own fuse to troubleshoot more easily.

Cory,
The hood is not drilled, and is primered and ready for paint! $125.00
plus S/H.
Hoopty Dreams,
Al

Steve,
This is a high end wiring harness. All wires are clearly labeled as to their purpose( ignition,turn signal,etc.),and comes with full schematic and instructions. $125.00 plus S/H
Al

Cory we can take my truck up to pick up the hood if your interested in picking it up.

Allen, I am looking for the engine cover off a CMC, let me know if you can locate one and how much. Thanks

Stephan, Please let me know what I owe you for the handle shipped to 07481=Thanks

"Allen, I am looking for the engine cover off a CMC, let me know if you can locate one and how much. Thanks"

Same here! I figure that, being made of fiberglass, I can MAKE it fit the coupe with a few alterations.

Thanks !

Allan, I'll take the wiring harness. Email me at stevep at teamvanguard dot com. I'll give you my shipping address and get yours to mail a check.

Steve.

TC,
I have a few items and some info that you might be interested in if you are needing CMC body parts. Shoot me an e-mail with what you need.
Jim

I could use that rear tear drop if it's the left one.
Jack

Sorry I've been slow to reply, I was out of town for the weekend.

Let's keep up the good work; thanks for jumping in Alan! I would love to get that turn signal switch if it's one of those "Porsche" look Bus switches. I have that very Beetle-looking cast switch.

Here's my WANTED list:

exhaust (I think Mel has me covered)
carpet (probably going with Vintage)
shifter boot and wood knob for EMPI trigger shifter
ivory knobs for headlight, emergency flashers and wipers
VDO gauges
"PORSCHE" dash script
Antique grille badge (maybe Nurburgring or something)
set of door handle seals
drop spindles/lowering plates
canvas top, tonneau, and boot
dash padding, eyebrow, and trim

And the DREAM list:

Carrera decklid
2200 turnkey OR hideaway turbo kit
front disk brake conversion
LeMans turtle-back tonneau cover
hood buckles
paint job
Corpse badge

Adam-you have mail.
WM-I'm in Temecula, close to the mall.
Bruce-I can take a check (or something from my Christmas list).
Alan-what kind of switch?
Jack-I think I have two spare teardrops but they are both right side.

Stephan, How much should that check be written for and sent to where?
Thanks

$20+shipping Bruce; I'll email you with the details, try to do it tonight.

I also have a VERY short t-handle shifter of unknown make, it's $20+shipping and so is the steering wheel (no hub or horn)

And a Speedster script that's broken in half, $free+ship

I got the bumpers off yesterday so if anyone needs them, I think the overriders would be good for somebody. $50+shipping for a set of four. If you want the whole bumpers you can have 'em, they're scuffed and the rubber in the deco has shrunk.

The seats and rollbar are free with pickup.

Al, save that hood for me. I'll be there before too long to get it.

I am interested in the over riders. Get me an address SVP and I will paypal you if that is ok.

OD, paypal and me ain't pals anymore. I can take ye olde cheque if ya want. Let me post up some photos first though, so no one gets any nasty surprises in the mail.

Put me down for second dibs on those bumpers and over-riders, OK? Or just the bumpers if OD only needs the over-riders . . . I don't need any pics.

Thanks !

Cory, gimme your old broken hood if you're gettin' a new one. I wanna try something stupid and need an old fiberglass hood to make it work.

I don't need the bumpers, just the over riders

This is the best horse-trade thread in a while!
TC, the hood's yours when I get the one from Al. And if Brian gets his new decklid, you can also have the CMC one on the Hoopty, and I'll take his twin-grille jobber and put it under the knife. Got any seats more comfortable than a slab o'granite?
Al, it'll be after I get back from Alaska in July. Brian and I will "come and git it."
I won't need the hinges; just the latch hook mechanism I already have.

TC, how should I go about shipping those suckers?

Do you have a pic of those seats?

Cory,
Hood is set aside for you. Check out the Hoopster's new winter accomodations while your here!
Al

Stephan a,
The turn signal switch that I have is from Carey Hines. It is not the VW Bus look switch. It is new, so it should work for you. $15.00 plus S/H. If you do not like it, send it back and I will refund your money. Fair enough?
Al

Thanks, Al!

Ok, sorry about all the compression. I'll get a flikr account or something tomorrow.

OD, I guess you can tell the over riders took a driveway or two. never noticed it while they were on the car.

"TC, how should I go about shipping those suckers?"

Kinda cup the rear bumper into the front, like sleeping "spoonsies" and tape them together in a handful of crucial places. Then just wrap them in brown paper, I use cut up shopping bags, tape 'em good, and ship 'em out UPS. No box or anything needed if they're covered in paper.

I sent a convertible top frame off of my '59 Ghia last year in the same way. Easy Peasy!

Lemme know what I owe you via email, include your address, and I'll send off a check and the ivory dash knobs at least. I might have some other goodies in the cellar, how about a PCA badge for the engine grill?

Thanks !

TC

"Got any seats more comfortable than a slab o'granite?"

I have a some 914 seats, some after-market racing seats

TC, will do. The PCA badge is tempting but that might be too much posing, even for me. Still, the old ones do look cool....

Allan, is there a picture of that switch anywhere? I just want something that looks a little more "Porsche".

And OD, if you still want those over riders just the shipping is fine. They're rashed up good on the bottom.

sent you PM with my mailing address. Vielen Dank
