I’m always on the look out for parts that I need for this restoration rebuild, searching websites like kijiji and the Vortex ill pick up various bits here and there from an assortment of cars nuts and characters. You have to look hard for something’s and other just fall right in your lap, for the most part things tend to be reasonably priced. Like whole motors and sets of seats for a hundred bucks, by far though the best deal I’ve come across was a one time garage blow out. There were so many items for vintage VW’s it would have been a candy shop for any enthusiast. Loads of air cooled and early water cooled stuff. I spent many hours searching though dusty bins and shelves, and boy was it worth it. I picked up a great replacement fender for 40 dollars and it’s not a cheep repo either. I then proceeded to fill up some boxes, a Bentley manual that for the most part works with this car, a full set of chrome center hub caps, a set of door handle gaskets, 20 light bulbs, some thread repair tool kits, a wiper assembly, metal oil cap, left side chrome trip grill, water pump gasket, two rear wheel bearings kits, two front control arm ball joints, a really nice metal Volkswagen trim piece, and a set of tail light that are almost mint from a 74/75 rabbit. The real kicker here is that all this other stuff cost me a whopping 40 bucks, I almost feel as if I stole the stuff it was so cheep. Without a doubt the best deal of the year.
