Will need to get them stripped down and cleaned up and painted but minimal amounts of rust. They should be good to be blasted and powder coated right?
Interestingly the edge isn't straight like the modern reproduction ones, but has a slight peak to it.
I need to work out who does the best rubbers for them. The WolfsburgWest ones are rubbish and leak like a dirty whore on a friday night

Dude, its a very good buy for anything from R1000 to R1500... remember a cheap normal red drawer trolley at makro will set you back a few grand... and no tools...

WTF? The 3rd Reich and the Empire of the Sun (or 3 suns as it turned out in early August 45) were allies during WW2. Why would the Slants want to torture Herr Hitler's finest (and fastest) radio carrier? And what was he doing in the Pacific Theatre anyway? Now there's an amazing find...
So did anyone turn up anything interesting at Piston Ring swap meet? There were lots of people there, but I didn't really find anything that exciting. Me and mrsfig did buy a nice 60s Coca-Cola chest fridge, but nothing VW.
Someone was there in a white 1500 S notchback, who scored a Hazet Assistent tool trolley. Was it anyone here?

I bought a 80's Pioneer radio from the guy, paid him and as I turned around to walk away, I saw the Hazet assistant.
