That was the main problem. It was hard to communicate and get hold of him. Domi seems to be busy with work and what started as an enthusiastic venture, turned into a bit of a headache. I hate making promises that I can not live up to. Sorry if I messed anyone around.

The only problem with this is the damn exchange rate! (for large parts like a bonnet this is NOT a viable option even if the parts are free, as the shipping is a killer - I was quoted 500 pounds for shipment on the bonnet from VW Heritage)

well you got one now right riaanj

YUP! Glad about that..

also seen a1303 bonnet for sale on gumtree in kzn the guy imported it still brand new .

The 1303 can take an upgrade to porsche brakes (vented) & rims from a 924T or 944 quite easily. The glovebox lock is the same as the later 1303 (ie after Aug 73 - th squeeze type like the 1600S, T25s) and it has the porsche symbol covering the keyhole.
