try Pierre "Bugger" he seems to know what's going on !

Did not see an answer to my question!

What are the chances of getting cargo doors?

Sorry Dave....we can get cargo doors..they are fairly heavy to ship and i would need the year model.

the panels are flying off the shelf ! (so to speak)
if there is anything you need.....don't hesitate to let me know..i'm about to place the next order !

High there Jacques

Yes Johan, as the Brazilia is basically a split rear with a bay window front we will be able to get panels.
i have posted this in the beginning of the thread and will again now...
go to this site and have a look at pic's of all the panels, bus and beetle ....ignore the prices unless you want to buy in Euro's
but it gives you an idea of most of the available panels.

A pillars - the front two pillars that the front doors hinge on.
the inner valance and outer valance is removed, only the headlight carrier panel is left.

B pillars - behind the driver and the one that the forward cargo door hinges on.
only the pillar on the complete right of this pic is the B pillar...the other two are reinforcement pillars !


C pillar - the one that the rear cargo door hinges on.


reinforcement pillars - the ones on the inside of the long panel running from top to bottom.


here are some additional pics of the air filter tray and the battery tray



and these are pics of the inner rocker KF 531 fitted




and these are the Jack points

Thanks Jacques
That was the best lesson I have had in a long time
Keep em comming please

I agree with Warick. Nice to see and to understand how things fit together. Look forward to updates...
