Title: German 60 Ragtop Post by: Oldschool on June 15, 2007, 16:01:01 pm Hey guys, tomorow I'm gonna pick up my new ride, being my 4th VW I own : a 60 Ragtop with semaphores, found about 10kms from where I live.
It is complete despite a torn ragtop canvas, broken windshield and driver glass, wrong rear lights (I should receive a pair of good used ones next wext), wrong headlight glasses and a few other things but nothing bad. I also get an extra engine, bumpers, wings and other parts for a very, very reasonnable price, I'll post pictures tomorow as soon as it's in the garage. The only thing is that it's got german papers, so I need to sort this out. Needless to say it's gonna go the full Look : dechromed body, one piece window, Lucas indicators...

[/quote] No but I suspect the front apron has been changed as I can see some filler in the spare wheel compartment, and no holes in the rear fenders either, so I guess it's gotta be euro bumpers with euro guards as it was destined to the German market. Anyway, that doesn't really matter as I'm gonna fit 'non welded' chrome t-bars ;D Anyone of you bought decklids from Dr. Decklid (on the samba)? I sent him an e-mail last week but no replies so far... :( Moreover I'm not sure he'll be OK to ship a decklid from San Diego to France, due to the size and shipping cost. The best would be that a Lounger from So-Cal would buy such a decklid and I'll pay him for all the expenses :D I know, I'm a bit of a dreamer sometimes ;D Regards Oldschool Title: Re: German 60 Ragtop Post by: Shubee2 (DSK) on July 09, 2007, 21:59:51 pm Dose the car have overrider holes in the front apron? or rear fenders?

I've checked his website but couldn't find anything else than the email address :( Oldschool Title: Re: German 60 Ragtop Post by: louisb on July 10, 2007, 20:29:56 pm I spoke with him back before the classic about doing a vert lid for my '67. He wanted $400 which was probably reasonable. I have just decided to go in a different direction.

Oldschool Title: Re: German 60 Ragtop Post by: louisb on July 10, 2007, 21:06:18 pm If I do anything other than stock it will be a metal empi style deck lid. I saw a version on a '67 I really liked. Course if a real '67 vert declid fell into my lap that might change.
