Let me try another time.
I have found one hood and part of the front seats ( can I attach 61 upper part of the seat on this one? ).
I think this is original hood and I am not sure for the seats.
The seller tells me it is from 12/52 zwitter.
He wants me to make an offer for these stuff.

Hey! One more question! Seller says these are from 54 Oval. Is this true?
I think its later version.

Thanks!

Those are later. The original seats have no backrest adjustment.

[Zvonimir1985]

It was too good to be true...he wanted 400EUR.

And what about the seats I have posted few posts upper?

I have these from 61 I think. I have been told these would not fit properly:

Those would be the same situation as the black ones. In the picture with the hood you show bottom, those are the style you are looking for.

[Zvonimir1985]

So the seats on the pictures with the hood are the right ones? The problem is that seller has only lower part of both seats. Can I attach newer upper part on those? I hope you understand me!

I understand fine! Those are the right ones yes. I am not sure if later backrests will fit though, I never tried, maybe someone here knows?

[Zvonimir1985]

Ok, thanks!
I will contact him with an offer.

'53 3-Fold Oval, L35 Metallic Blue, looking for a narrow hatch panel

[Zvonimir1985]

This is the engine. It should be older then my car, but it seems to me there is some newer parts...but I am not an expert so I am looking for advice...

Should I buy it?

You should buy it if it's a good running engine and you need something to drive your car.

I don't see anything that is correct for 1953.

If you want an original engine for 1953 I would keep looking.

Few weeks ago I missed a great oportunity for an engine that is 15-20 days older from the beetle.
I cant tell is this one a 25HP engine.
In my car, there is an engine whose numbers are exact like the original one, but with 1 added number on the end and VW stamp but its newer.

Hey!

Sorry for being annoying but like they sey: there is no stupid questions.


Now I have an offer to buy:

242 247 and Samba says it is 9/1950.

If I buy it, how hard would be to find all parts which are missing?

Is it stupid to put it in this car?

Thanks!

That is a later engine stamped with a "random" number.

It's not an original 1950 engine.

This bottom photo makes it clear

There is no drain plug to left of the drain plate.
This means it is a much later engine case - Probably 1960.
