Any 8 track cassettes you have - I'll buy them :)

My NOS Lucas 488 turn sigals - These are the cool 3 wire type which mean you can run a double filament bulb and then use the lucas ligh as side lights (Shhh don't tell Mr MOT Guy!)

Oh yeah and I have to Thank Jick for these - Cheers dude  ;D

Yes exactly dude  ;) Now these are quite interesting - I picked them up at a show a couple of years ago - Now they look Like "Stock" 60's style rear lights BUT they are CAST ALUMINUIM Even the Bulb holder part is cast ali  :o I have never come accross these before - They are Hella/Made In Germany, Does anyone have any more info ??? :)

Here's a 70's NOS Grant steering wheel Boss I got given a few years ago  :)

You just need to Find The Original Sticker for the Linkage now Lee LOL  it goes right by the center mounting hole ;D ;D  notice the old Address

Nice stash Lee!

I really dig the gauges!!

~DR ;D

That's great  :o !!!!

Hey Lee, there was some more NOS Cockpit guages on ebay this week - did you see 'em?

Its going to be a cool car for sure dude!

Yeah That was me selling my spares  ;)

You have enough to start your own shop! ;D

show-off, i thought project 66 was all about keeping things secret  ;)

yeah it kind of is dude BUT I can't help showin off once in a while  ;)

Speaking of which look what I scored today - ORIGINAL 70's NOS!!! :o ;D

ah, you had to buy it.  ;)

looks really cool btw.

Nice stash Lee! About the taillights, I have a set or two of those... they were made for people that wanted to upgrade their pre 63 cars to latest rage. From what I hear they were sold by anyone except VW themselves.

Yeah I did - I mean How many times did I look at it at VoWo - I just got nigels number to give him a call about it and then I see it on ebay - I guess its just fate ;) :)

And JHU Thanks fgor the info on the rear lights - They are such a GOOD idea I mean Cast Ali rusts alot less than Steel :P ;) :)

not even mentioning the reduction in weight there, lee? ;-)

nice score on the roll control too, original NOS, way to go!!

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
'Cabin doors to manual' springs to mind... I dig the gauges, too! Oh, and the carbs ;)

So Lee... tell us more about the theme of the car... what will the car look like? Going 92 x 82SPG, huh?
Looks cool... you must be getting excited.

Cool decals.

The Theme hmmmm thats tricky........ Just imagine a cross between Aronsons/holmes 63, The Goss Chop Top, Dave Rhoades 64, Mike Billings 67 AND Marc's Red 51 split ;) :)

Oh and YES its gonna have a 82x92 SPG Motor   :o ;D

Here's the motor...

 :)

 ;) :)

Too many post without pictures  ;) :)

Y'know we love 'ya ;D

~DR.

well its been a while and since the last posts I have located an original ZF diff, some DDS manifolds and a Vertex Magneto ;D

oh and some rather cool "Cal Custom" door handles and window winders  :)

I started to work for VW in 1976 and the dealership I worked for had several sets of these cast units on the shelf.

They must have been there for many years as the Dealership had been in operation from the realy 60's andthey never threw anything away.

We had complete Split Bus Front Clips on the service dept roof rusting away....   ::)

Happy, Happy Days :)
