To anyone looking for VW parts on the net I do not recommend BFY Obsolete Parts. I have ordered from them several times in the past for my 63 and never had a problem, this time though was a pretty bad experience. Placed an order back in September to rewire my 68, didnt hear anything back for a week so I called and was told some items were back ordered but they had the wire harness, I asked them to go ahead and ship the harness so I could get started, they did so and I was told the only other thing outstanding was the hood cable sheath and that it would be in "next week". Over the past 5 weeks I have called and asked for status, still no sheath, last week I called and spoke to the owner and was told all that was outstanding was the fuse block and that he would have it tomorrow and ship my order, called back the next day and was told the sheath was still back ordered, spoke to the owner again and instructed him to cancel anything that was outstanding and ship the items they had. 4 days later, today I called and canceled the entire order, I will be looking for a refund in the next 24 hours or I will be contacting my credit card company to report fraud. I was a dickweed for letting it go on this long but thought others should be aware that what they tell you about your order cannot be trusted. There is a huge thread on Samba about the same experiences others are having,
