Looking for parts for a 1967 VW Beetle;

junkyard

I'm just about getting around to restoring my 1967 Beetle and was wondering if anyone has rust free parts for one that they want to sell? I need 2 doors, 4 wings, a 1300 engine and some other bits and pieces. Thanks.

Hello,
When i was doing up my 77 Beetle i used this crowd in the UK:www.vwheritage.com

Cheap enough & quick shipment,

Thanks for that turbop, I was hoping someone might have parts surplus to requirements or from a failed restoration. Martin Murray has everything I need but I thought I'd give this a shot just in case. Thanks again for your help.

Are your doors beyond repair?
67 is a one year only model and doors are getting hard to find, I think they can be re-skinned though.

If you can't find genuine S/H wings the best available new now are fibreglass,
most (all?) of the repro metal wings are a crap fit and inferior quality metal

Fibreglas wings from -

Around £150 for a set of 4 but he won't do delivery as had problems with
some damaged in transit in the past, these are getting great feedback from
everyone that has fitted them.

I don't know if you need these lights but they are original NOS and local

.....except '67 doors

TBH I don't think there is much of a difference between '67 and 8/67+ doors
just different handles, I could (as always ) be wrong though.
