Hi Just saying hello from Huddersfield West Yorkshire. I'm finally getting around to sorting my 1978 bay and yes you've guessed I'm now discovering problems I didn't know about.
Mainly the front cold air intake flaps and surround have completely gone. I knew I'd end up replacing the front panel but this looks like a part that maybe difficult to source, so any pointers to where I may get this section will be greatly appreciated.

 

Welcome along! You'll need to get a body cut off a breaker.

A few worth trying:
NOSVW: https://en-gb.facebook.com/Nosvwpart/ (he was recently breaking a number of bays).
FBIVW: http://www.fbivw.com/
Our very own @davidoft

It might be worth sticking a wanted ad on the parts section too.

Hi from Canvey island, essex

 

Welcome from sunny Huddersfield.

 

Hi David have a look and let me know what you think. The rear of the box seems ok it's the front recessed section holding the flaps that are shot. G

 

definitely worn out , pull the front off and see what else you need

 

Yeah right

 

Welcome

 

Welcome to a really helpful forum. It is, honest.

 

OK will do but it'll have to wait a while as my work area (terrace) is being concreted this Thursday and then I can move the van out to work on properly. Far too cramped in the garage. Get back to you next week D. G
