If you want, you could go with Cal <BR>look window seals, as they are fairly cheap, and can be re-used up to about 2 <BR>years (after that it's hit and miss). I get them thru CIP, since they carry <BR> WCM seals cheaper than WCM does. :O "<BR><BR><BR>Good to know!!! I will be making my own panel covers and am using the zbar style doorpanels, it is a 67 but it does not have the correct door panels, on the one door..its the wrong color anyway.. <BR>Does the tab show in the bentley? I have not taken apart the doors yet and will be replacing doors that are more color matched I already have them, im gonna faux patina them to match more to the cars current color, light blue and It is dark so i cannot ck and see if the color tag is there<BR>To the best of my knowledge it was and will be a 12 vlt car, I will be using my engine and transaxle from my wrecked 66 to install.. I just knew I have to fabricate the covering for the door panels that are in my wrecked 66 and for the posts etc. <BR> I just know I cannot save the vinyl from my 66 and the headliner is junk in that car. I also know that it is ideal to have the headliner in but fundage is an issue.. there was a later tmi unpholstry kit on thesamba ugly tan..( IMHO No offense) someone was selling for 125.00 a steal!!<BR> but i will be dealing with my 66 interior seats, <BR>I intensely dislike the cal look but given the pricing youre discribing, i think i will deal with it for now. I just need a warm no pokey car and dry too.. did i mention that it too is a sunroof car??</P>
<P>This presents a new issue.. my wrecked car was hit in the front left fender by a guy who ran a red light. luckily i was smart (?) enough to have had paypal recpts for everything i bought for that car and it was almost done. I fought for two years to get most of my money out of the car and i still brought it home. after many tears i came to the realization its roof is buckled and cannot be fixed without a frame machine. It had a brand new german windshield seal which cost me a pretty penny. I am going to save the pan even though it is damaged for donor metal to fix my 65S. My question is should I salvage all the metal and offer it to those less fortunate.<BR> I mean the hood and left fenders front and rear.. yes he really smacked it... are wrecked... bumper is dust. I have many type threes in my family so doors and fenders and hatches are a given save. I plan on cutting the roof off at the posts and keeping the entire roof section due to the fact that it too was a working sunroof. I have seen a man on thesamba selling peices of drain sections from rear of car but is there anything else I should be saving??<BR>thanks to everyone ..<BR>This vw ride has been a long long journey, i have learned soo much.Thanks to everyone including the late Mr Wolf who taught me and continue to teach me. There are a lot of thieves and low life vw people who will steal from you in a min. even if you think they are cool I have now taken the stance <BR>I just might kill you if you "f" with my cars.<BR>Much love to type3.org<BR>Kelleigh</P>

Be warned though, their (TMI's) catalog cut off dates are wrong, so <BR>you'll need to know what you want before ordering. <BR>You didn't mention what year the car is (or body style), and there's 4 <BR>years of "Z" style arm rests (64 thru 67), and 2 different styles of attaching <BR>them. The 64/65 use 2 piece door panels, while the 66/67 use 1 piece door <BR>panels. Also, the 64/65 "S" style uses a separate plastic trim piece across <BR>the top of the door panel.<BR>You can put 1 piece door panels in the earlier cars, but you'll need the <BR>tab for the later style arm rests. Just a heads up on that.<BR> <BR>The doors car be reassembled, other than the door panels by following the <BR>Bentley, and you'll need to add a water/vapor barrier before installing the <BR>interior panels. If you run into a snag, just e-mail us, and we'll get you <BR>thru it. ;-)<BR>The fenders can be re-installed without the rubber trim piece, and later <BR>on (when you have more time to mess with it), and add the trim.<BR>If you're doing a 12 volt swap, do it all, and by that, I mean wiper <BR>motor, flasher relays, VR and generator, ALL of the lights (including all of <BR>those in the fuel gauge cluster), etc. If you don't, something will get fried, <BR>and you'll be chasing it. Most forget to do the wiper motor, and it's <BR>really just a bolt on swap with one from a 67 to 70.<BR>If you're turning it into a daily driver, you'll want to make sure all of <BR>the mechanicals are good to go too. Nothing hurts worse than thinking you're <BR> ready for the road, only to have a brake problem, or something like that.<BR>I'm sure I've forgotten something, but that'll get you started. I hope <BR>this helps.<BR> <BR><BR>Bob 65 Notch S w/Sunroof and IRS aka Krusty<BR>64 T-34 Ghia aka Wolfie<BR>71 Square-vert under construction<BR><BR><BR>-------------- next part --------------<BR>An HTML attachment was scrubbed...<BR>URL: <http://lists.vwtype3.org/pipermail/type3-vwtype3.org/attachments/20130128/35c6e1ce/attachment.htm><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>VWType3.Org mailing list - type3@vwtype3.org<BR>http://lists.vwtype3.org/listinfo.cgi/type3-vwtype3.org<BR>Contact gregm@vwtype3.org if you need help with the list.<BR></P></div></body></html>
