Newspaper; “Gazet van Antwerpen” gave away 200.000 Belgian francs on prices, with first price this ubercool oval window ragtop in a contest about the “Tour the France”.
Damn, why we’re born 20 years too late????
Maybe the little girl got the beetle from her father on her 18th birthday and its still tucked away in a garage somewhere… imagine…:)
3 september 2021 - NEW
Headlines this week have been dominated without any doubt by nature elements striking again so badly, especially in USA.
Also of course everybody followed the end of a 20 year old war that couldn’t be won…
We’re at war every day too.
A battle we love to fight; finding, creating and producing more and better parts for our beloved VW’s.
A war we can’t win either, but we move closer to target every day.
This week we have a bunch new products and some interesting updates, thanks for checking in….
Let’s kick off with the good news we’ve been able to buy a huge surplus inventory of original VW parts containing this VW bus front trailing arms.
To be exact these are the trailing arms for late model Split window bus 63-67 and for Kombi Brazil models from 1967-2014.
Most of them come in their original VW cardboard packaging
We have both upper and lower, knowing that left and right is the same for a bus….
Plenty on our shelves now, pretty heavy load, so we offer nice quantity discounts too!
1379-220 Torsion arm upper- Bus 07/63-07/67, Bus Brazil 01/67-2014 – Original
1379-225 Torsion arm lower – Bus 07/63-07/67, Bus Brazil 01/67-2014 – Original
Another part in the original Volkswagen spare parts purchase was these stub axles.
These stub axles will fit all Vw bus from the 1971 Bay window model year all the way up to the end of the T25/T3/Vanagon production in 1992.
Nothing beats original so we bought simply all we could get!

Your door check rods been secured to your A post with a small pin and a clip.
We had some models already and made the family complete now.
We have now all pins and clips for beetle and bus 1955 all the way up to 1992.
The difference between beetle and bus is the diameter.
The difference between different bus models is strictly length.
Let us introduce you….

The difference is in the details.
Small parts are so necessary.
This little cover plug is no different.
Sitting in the housing around your Type 4 alternator it closes the hole that leaves you to loosen your alternator bolt in order to adjust your V belt tension.
So often missing, now finally a correct replacement.
