[Great Job]

Great Job.  Well done to the Berrisfords.  I had a great time & was particularly impressed with the kindness shown by members (one in particular & you know who you are) when I broke down afterwards.  Really good getting to know all the members & please forgive me when I don't remember anybody's name next time! [:I]  You really are a good bunch, I'm so glad to be a member.
   
   Looking forward to the next one.

Hi Paul,
   
   Great idea.  I hope lots of people put in a source.  The front indicators are definitely Karmann Ghia Type 34 (late 60s).  Also available from http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220452616299.

Hi Damien,
   
   I have just purchased a windscreen for my convertible CF34 from Old School Windscreens - about £360.  None in stock but should have them soon.  Still looking for all the chrome bits that go round the windscreen.
   
   Regards

Hi Damien,
   
   If you find the baguettes, I could do with some, too.  If I find any, I'll let you know.  As regards the speakers, in my car, which is a convertible, they were in the back panel behind the seats.  Of course, in those days, you only had just the one pair of speakers, unlike modern hi-fi car equipment.

Update on spare chrome bits:
   The rear badge was from Gerry Hawkridge, Hawk Cars, 01892 750341.  I got the Frua badges (front wing) from Stefan Dierkes <info@pietro-frua.de>, and door handles from ClassicAlfa.com.  There are also front indicator assemblies on sale at http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220452616299.

Hi Cliff,
   
   I got the bumpers from Harringtons (excellent - made in Vietnam), the front indicators from Brian Eacott & I actually still had the rear indicators.  My restorer sourced a rear badge but I'm not sure from where although I believe these are readily available.  Andy has promised me a nose badge when they're ready.
   
   I'll keep posting as & when I find stuff &, as I said before, all help will be much appreciated.

That should have been "Hi Damien & Cliff" !!!

Hi Damien,
   
   I had also contacted Stefan after your first post & he has sent me a pair of badges.  They are excellent & he is an extremely helpful guy.
   
   I am now searching for the rear number plate lights that slot into the bumper.  Someone said they were off a Porsche 914 but looking at the Porsche, I don't think this is right.  Anyone any ideas?
   
   Thanks

Hi Paul,
   
   I have now scanned a few pics in to my computer but... and I know I am being incredibly dense, I can't figure out how to put them on to the post! [8)]
   Cheers

Peter,
   
   Do I understand that you have a spare pair of rear light frames?  You say you bought the "2 sets that were on e-bay... & now reside in Australia."  I have the lenses but the chrome seats are badly pitted & I really want a new pair.

Hi Paul,
   
   I'll go on a hunt for my old pics.  Don't think any show the dash or anything interesting!  Do you want me to upload them here or email them to you?
   
   Mike

Hi Paul,
   
   As soon as the restoretion is complete, I'll send some piccies.  All I have at the moment are some very old ones or just the shell stripped down in the garage!
   
   Mike

Hi Cliff,
   
   I'd definitely be interested in a pair.  I'm also after a rear badge.
   
   Cheers

He must have changed the dash as it is the model immediately prior to mine and mine has the older style dash.  Or did they swap dashes on a whim between models?

Typo I'm afraid!  Wish I had both.  34 is mine.
