Outstanding as usual Mr. G., that's one fantastic piece of metalwork, bravo!, very impressive!

Let's hold applause until someone installs one and we see if the actually fit :) . Not saying they won't, but the pretty pictures are just that at this point.

Are the dog legs 68-79?

Tue Sep 27, 2011 5:15 am

no, they are early bay doglegs, 68 to 71

Are you going to make a full 72 dogleg, only real difference from that one I think is the flare on the wheel well. Also wondering on the 72 rear corners thats the odd one.

I'm going to need a lower nose section pretty soon. Is there a panel/replacement for the inner nose? Mine is pretty well shot. Actually, inner dog legs, entire front floor, inner lower nose and outer lower nose will all need replaced. Any ideas?

Has anyone seen one of these new rear hatch's made by VW. Mine is toast and I am either looking for a new one or a used one.

Well, a couple things. You are in orlando? That says they only ship to mainland UK? Whats that impression for, and cant you find a good used one way cheaper? Or am I missing something.?

Edit: Divit for the badge. Got it.

I wonder how the hinge and latch holes line up?, early or late style?
What's wrong with this one from the classifieds? http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=1038864

Where is the rear wheel well / inner arch panel available from? I can't seem to find it anywhere, but I did find this pic, so it must exist! (I really only need the outer part where it meets the quarter panel flare/lip area.)

Is there any chance of complete Early Baywindow Noses being reproduced without a raised emblem area?

no, but its an ez fix. if you look at the schofield site its a late nose modified to work

Any thoughts on what the best way to contact Gerson is? I've PM'ed him on here recently and like a year back, and both times got no response. :(

they have early bay noses, i'd just have to hammer the emblem area down I guess..

I'm just hoping Gerson makes a green one that doesn't have patches on it or a raised emblem area.

Uh, try that if you want but there will be major problems if you do. think huge wavy bulge...

Just email him at [email protected] he'll email back. If not, try again in a day or two

hence why I'm hoping for a funky green nose to be made soon

no, they don't. look closely at the vent, and lower panel. you can clearly see where they welded the parts on to a late nose
