Can't wait for the box to arrive - so much stuff I've forgotten what's in it!! :wink:

Club rules "thou shalt share thy wealth of NOS parts"

got a lovely right hand side black front boxed NOS armrest
and a PERFECT (not NOS) grey one

NOS hood hinges
NOS handles - LOADS of em (I think)
NOS door catches
NOS Striker plates
NOS Heat Exchanger
NOS Bullet Indicator
Needle bearings (keeping them!)
Brake cylinders (keeping them!)
couple of clocks - not sure if NOS but very nice

And I even know where there are some NOS seat covers but the dude won't sell !
Just realised - I really should change my user name - 55OvalCharlie just doesn't sit right when I got rid of the Oval 4 years ago does it - Any suggestions for my new name???? Now be polite people :lol:

How bout the name, ummmm uhhhh ok yeah, sharemypartswithwakywaco :wink:

Oh yeah, just went and checked out the notch, its a rust free 64 on that later pan, only bad things realy are the shaved doors, moulding, and early beetle headlights in the front fenders. Ill just sell the fenders, grind off the welds on the doors and install handles, and redrill the moulding holes. Its a sunroof car, and the decklid light says S on it 8) Missing all interior, though, bummer :(

Seriously though Waky - All the above I have accumulated since just February and the only reasons I've bought them was because
a) I needed them (but only a couple of the bits)
b) cos they seemed like a good deal compared to current market rates

Don't get disheartened - just cos you can't order them over the phone don't mean they ain't about.
Just ask any of us if we know where bits are, the worst we can say is no.

I'm askin where bits are now! I need all NOS red needle gauges preferably dated mid 62, nice wrap dash, padded early door trim, grey Z's and a nice set of grey floor mats. If there is anyone out there with these that they might part with please let me know. I am in the dismantle for paint phase right now but would need these before Christmas. Thanks!!

The website should be updated soon as well. Anyone interested in the club or being featured on the site, contact Notchboy.

With continued help from Jack, the 1500 club is back on track to provide a wealth of info on early T3s. I have several people on the list to be presented. Jack and I were holding off for several reasons so I apriciate all of those who have waited.

Let me know if you get the Notch. I'd be interested in the fenders with the early beetle headlights if they aren't in too bad of shape.

I would like to congratulate several new members to the site. We have been getting allot of interest from a broad spectrum of international T3 enthusiasts. Its filling up nicely and have actually added a second page.

Jack Fisher has been working hard to keep the bugs out and the information flowing.

It would seem that we have been attracting allot of notchbacks, a new NONA? There are plans in the works to get more of our brotherin T34 owners and some squarebacks.

Keep on visiting to see the new changes.
