Nice collection !

My latest find is the Bulletin book which covers Technical Bulletins about installing pop-outs on pré '64 TIII's - installing a VDO rev counter - installing back-up lights - installing OEM over riders etc.

It's a complete book and NOS of course

Nice score.

I don't want to sound like a jerk but how do you know it's complete? I think pages were added to over time as new bulletins were issued.

Thanks for reminding me... I'll get back on it since I have more time now... 5 weeks until The Classic! Should go alot faster now that I have a template and Photoshop Actions to expedite the process.

I will send you a CD Everett. I have my shop bulletins scanned finally.
Searchable PDF format. Done in Adobe Pro 8.1.2. Over 500 pages.
I will also send the WC sunroof school manual. The Rabbit and Jetta use the same mechanics as the T-3 and Bug.
I will see what I can fit on a couple CD's.

Made my second trip to the Chromer today to pickup some more stuff! I have to say that Slash Rocker Molding looks awesome in Triple Chrome! Don't ask me what the chromed Porsche Cookie Cutters are for if you don't wish to be lied to. 8) Here's the list of what was just chromed.

2 sets of Bumpers (one set was later, post '66, so I had some holes filled)
2 sets of Slash Rocker Trim
1 Hood Emblem ('63 Australian Iron)
1 Tow Hitch and Ball
1 Vintage License Plate Frame
1 Hood Latch and Strike
1 Tail Pipe
1 pair of Bumper Guards
1 pair of Bumper Bolts
1 set of 4 Porsche Center Caps

A full set of Porsche Cookie Cutters (2@6"x15" and 2@7"x15") were purchased already Chromed. 8)
