Also.... I have some T34 panels for sale if anyone is interested.... Front nose clip, both front guards, dash, doors and an engine cover.... They are in Adelaide.... Name your price.... All reasonable offers considered.

The T34 of my dreams has been sitting under a cover in the shed for over 6 months now... Unloved and incomplete.... Still looking for some good battery tray pans to let in, the 12volt conversion to be completed in the engine bay, the transaxle needs repairing, the fancy new Vintage Speed exhaust needs to be modded to fit the TIII engine, the dash wiring to be repaired and one fog lamp bucket to be reconstructed.... Apart from all that, the major work is done. But first the Bus needs a new engine and turbocharging and efi, and slamming and FUCH's fitted first.... And the POS (my drag car) needs prepping for the next event, and the ragtop is almost ready for media blasting..... And..... And.... And.... Sheesh!

To be fair to the AP guys, I've known people who have collected VWs for years and years and have never seen a Type34, much less be able to talk about one.[

Humpty commented on Wheels and Deals...Got polished and detailed FUCH's ready to go, but I really like the space saver rims you had polished.... Would roll those on my car for sure.... And those really unusual rims your planning to run a very cool.... Never seen anything like those before.

Humpty replied to the topic Re: Battery tray replacement? in the forums.Yeah I have a roller at the last school I taught at... I know they'd let me at it.... Haven't had a go at the MDF method, but have thought about giving it a shot... A mate built his hotrod using this method, so that's a possibility....
Might have a closer look at the car this weekend.... Maybe th

But I checked those and now I can see that that size is no longer available.
Can still get them here (Australia) without to much trouble.... And I know you can get them in the US also.... Maybe you need to go find your local vintage tyre retailer.... They should

Humpty replied to the topic Re: Throwing some ideas out for discussion or input! in the forums.All good advise, but there are a few other things to do when you do a 12v conversion.... Don't forget the relays and the regulator if your going with the gennie option....
If you can't source a suitable 12v wiper motor there is another option.... I have used an interior light dimmer (out of and
