thanks...yeah, there's a ton of stuff..the funny thing is that the PO keeps telling us that what we now have was only about 10% of the stuff he used to have...

he used to own the shop in pottstown on hanover street by the tracks for years...shop was also in norristown for awhile too...

are you looking for a Rag Clip? how about a whole Ragtop, let's say 1960 Euro Ragtop? there was a corvair engine in the rear but that just got sold...

I sent you a PM about the Fuchs wheels.
Are they for sale?

VWBeachBum · Post by **VWBeachBum** » Wed May 02, 2007 2:56 pm

yeah, i'm getting them weighed so can figure out shipping cost. i'm also going to take more photos of them for everybody too.

2 are good, 2 have curb rash (those 4 have matching numbers)
and the 1 fuch with the tire is perfect. (haven't checked the number on that one yet, just found it the other night around 1am...)
