1976 B1 Coupe. need small parts and advice!
Posted: Thu Nov 15, 2012 9:19 am
This is my B1. She has been in Ireland since 1978 and Germany for her youth before that.
She has 101,000 Km on her or 60,000 Miles and the Interior really shows that. Only some cracks on the dash show her age.
Mechanically she has been very well kept. Engine was overhauled recently and gearbox serviced and checked. Brakes are all excellent. New exhaust fitted in the past few years.
The body needs some attention, The drivers door (LHD) needs, perhaps, a new skin and spray and rear sills need looking at and one arch. Overall the underneath is great and the wings are perfect. The grill surround on the front need replacing. Both front and back bumper are new enough and no bubbles or rust.
Think I could have her looking nearly new for €500 - €700
Anyone know where I would get the chrome grill surround and clips??
Also could do with passenger side (LHD) bonnet hinge.
The temp gauge is not working... is this a simple fix?? all other lights and gauges are OK.
Anyone know what she is worth?? Seems a pretty rare car...
Many thanks
Noel
