Im breaking whats left of my mk1b that had the rotten chassis leg lots of parts left even the air con. If anyone wants the complete roof and headlining I can give them a hand unspot welding it. Ive also got a load of mk1a parts as ive changed the brakes and suspension on my mk1a now. Anything you want post and i'll photo the part and put a price up.

Hi, joined the forum after seeing your post as I'm a looking a few bits for my MK1a project. Would you have:

Full set of exhaust hangers, an o2 sensor for the exhaust, the door switches for the courtesy lights and side skirt clips if they were intact?

I would need the items posted to Northern Ireland (should be same as mainland UK postage) and I would pay you by paypal. Assuming that would be ok, let me know what price you would need for the lot including postage. If you don't want hassle of paypal / posting etc I understand!

Cheers for your help.

Hi Dave, Have you the radiator (condenser) for the aircon, in good condition as the one on my import is dropping to pieces.

you won't change the pipes with the tank left in , no way in hell they will come out , you will have to remove the main water pipes as well , these stop the clutch pipes coming out . its a major job changing this pipe , why your at it check the pipes for the heaters for corrosion .

Where are you petemc

I'm in Northern Ireland so would need them posted, but postage should be the same as mainland (only usually an issue for big or heavy items). Thanks.
