Anyone need anything from West Coast Metric?

That's fine. On the left side, the bulb holder is toast. I haven't had a lot of trouble with the right side other than having to clean the contacts from time to time (cracked lense/bad seals = corrosion) so 1 should be sufficiant to get me back on the road. And somewhere I've got a decent used lense I bought at the Knoxville show in 2010.

If I can catch a break in the rain, I was going to try to drain the tank and clean out the carb this weekend. I'm tired of paying for auto insurance on a storage building! . . . But then, when I put Homer back on the road, I'll have to buy a storage building AND pay auto insurance . . . oh well, it's time. He's sat too long. He's ready to get out of the yard and see the world again.

Tony (takeflight) turned me on to this little parts supply house out in CA at the May meeting. I sent off and received a catalog in the mail last month. I am putting together an order for some stuff Matthew and I need and thought I'd throw it out there to yall as well. Take a look at the catalog and let me know if there is anything you need.

THIS STUFF IS CHEAP!!!

Check out www.vwrepublic.com/Images/century/Century.2013.03.pdf to see about downloading a PDF from earlier this year. Its not the exact same as the june one that I received, but it looks very similar.

Let me know by Friday- I plan on ordering Friday afternoon.

Them are some good prices! I might have to pick up a few things. I'll let you know by the end of the week after I've gone through the catalog.

I use to deal with these folks A LOT years ago. Whats really sad was they use to have a big store in B'ham Ala. Long gone now.(15-20 years ago) They had a lot of very good quality parts. Example- Kobenscmit or Mahle P/C's $38.00 in lots of 5, Rod bearings $4.50, cam bearings $2.25, Main Brg's $9.50. (From a old catalog I have) Disgusting !!

I wonder if Jai still has his Delorian? Does anybody have an extra flux capacitor laying around?

I'm gonna pass on ordering this week, there's nothing I really have to have "right now".

Order placed. Should be finalized and sent out on Monday. I'm excited; we got a lot!!!

Just saw this, WOW.
What was shipping like?
Any way, when I get rolling on the Ghia, there are a few things I'll need.
Thanks for sharing,
KC

We ordered a few tie rods and drag links, along with a handful of other small, but not exactly light parts. He estimated $30 but was supposed to get back with me to confirm the shipping price. I'm going to give him a call this afternoon and check on the status

I got an update from the guy on Thursday. He said he would need my address before he could ship. I told him in was in the email I sent him last week... I guess that is why he doesn't have a website... anyways, we got it cleared up and it went out on Friday. Should be here next Thursday. Its a little slower than I would have expected, but still not awful (faster than CIP!)

volksnick · « **Reply #27 on:** December 01, 2013, 10:14:18 PM »

I am going to make a cyber monday order and I'm already into free shipping on this one. If anyone needs anything that qualifies for free shipping and wants to throw it in, I will gladly order. Deadline is Monday at 6pm.

respond on here.

Nick, if you are still placing an order with CIP1 . . .

I need two of these: http://www2.cip1.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=VWC%2D211%2D945%2D241%2DRK

and one of these: http://www2.cip1.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=C16%2D137%2D191%2DLR

And I'm back in that same boat. I need two taillights for Homer and the seals. I had the one you ordered before and the seals, but I stepped on the lense and broke it the other day . . . and I have no idea what I did with the seals.
