WTB: 58 Type 2 Decklid

HI Anna, the 58 deck lid is a tough find, for part of the year they still had the third brake light. I'm currently restoring a 58 as well and the original deck lid on mine does not have the light. Some say it's not original but I know for a fact it is. I'm guess that some time during that model year the discontinued the third light. Maybe someone else can shed some light on this.

Off the topic, I've got a bunch of post 67 Beetle body parts I am looking to get rid of "real cheap". Fenders, door, hoods. engine lids. Most rust free! So if you know anyone in BC looking for such have them contact me. Oh ya one more thing.. I'm looking for a pre 67 front hood (long hood) if any one has one to sell or trade for the parts I have..

Good luck with the engine lid Anna...

Yeah it's going to be a real pain in the ass to find. Our's is a early 58 too so it makes it even harder. I found one down in Portland but it's sort of rusty. We should compare notes on our buses.

I would try listing your stuff on the following sites:

1) Kaferkraft.ca has a classified site (Hey I'm biased it's my club) 2) Also forums.airspeedparts.com also has a classified section.

Both are home to local dub nuts.
