http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/498309.jpg Hey peoples I was wondering if this stuff had any value,Or is it garbage. It did come out of a maple valley bus,however Im going to put new panels on the front doors. The other panels came with the bus and are not needed,Does anybody have an idea where the other 2 panels go?so $$$ value would be helpful.or maybe I should thow em away???? Thanks Justin

those panels are shit.
why was it necessary to type the title in all caps?

The aluminum trim is sought by some and the vinyl beading, too. I've bought a relatively scrappy panel to patch a hippy speaker hole before. On the good flat ones they could be patterns.

oh, sorry. my bad. i mean it may be just me, but personally, i would not have wasted my time even removing those from a bus in a junkyard, and if there were in a bus i was going to "fix up", i wouldn't use them and i'd throw them in the garbage.

by the way, the panel in the upper left corner is a driver's front door. going clockwise is a rear cargo door panel (side door), then a broken driver's front door panel, and then a wasted passenger front door panel.

I'd get my ass kicked for bringing that 'into the house.'

Yeah, I ended up sweeping and mopping afterwards.So are these garbage or would these be considered usable by some?

I would remove the chrome strips and ditch the rest.

The TMI/Mesh Platinum set from WW is a pretty nice repro.
