USPS sent me a text that something showed up today.  Did it, Franz.?   More stuff should be showing up next week.

Yeah got it. But I don’t remember the ad saying anything about the chrome being messed up?

Man, they barely look different. Deep 6″ will fit better anyways. Do you have some 7r?

I did, but sold them like an idiot.  Oh well thats being a responsible adult I guess 🙄

and yes 6’s will fit a LOT easier.  A 7R has the additional inch of width added to the inside of the wheel, so they require big spacers on a VW.

Luggage rails arrived smashed. I know a guy that is good with a hammer & dolly.

Luggage rails on a 55?

Yeah it has the clips. Maybe early body? 54?

What’s the body number I’d love to see how close it it to ours, or if you don’t share that I totally understand, and ours has no clips or nutsert’s for luggage rails

We’re missing the tag. So I have no idea what year it really is.

Trippy. Early oval cabrios saw more leftover split or zwitter parts than sedans it seems.

Great….

Since Dallas county has issued “shelter-in-place ordinance, I have plenty of time to search the internet.  So more parts should be showing up next week.

Every one stay safe….

Thanks for stocking us on shop towels with that wheel shipment. 🙂

Empi parts are here. We’re going to work on the pan, so that the body can get bolted down, and convertible top fit.

Any news from Jason on the rest of the parts?

Maybe a hair early for the car…but better than late.
