Hi All ...... HEEEELLLLPPPP!!!! ohmy.gif

I'm trying to wrap up the exterior portion of our `88 Westy's resto/refurb repaint, and am having trouble finding a "very nice to excellent" or NOS flexible front Air Dam used on the `88-91 FG bumpered Vanagons & Westies.

Everything I see is pretty buggered up - especially at the front corners, but maybe some of you Vanagon/Westy/Subie-gon owners out there have a nice air dam that you took off one of yours, which you'd part with???? confused24.gif

If so, then please see my appropriately placed non-914 WTB ad with pix in the classifieds here:

... and before anyone asks - yes, I've been checking TheSamba & evil-bay, etc., as well as the "regular retail Westy & Vanagon vendors like GoWesty, Van Cafe, Bus Depot, VW Classics (Germany), etc.

So I need help finding a nice air dam....

Tom - I just inquired on the condition of this one. Haven't heard back. I'll let you know, or you can contact him direct.

Thanx Marc, I just used my picasa viewer to enlarge the photos of the front L & R at his ad, and that one has the usual bunged up corners. sad.gif

Please keep your eyes out for me folks! TIA beerchug.gif

And Geez! blink.gif
- Looking at that Vanagon at Marc's link, & it being 2 years newer than ours (88 vs 90) - I guess ours was a very good looking 10 or 20-footer even before repainting it! The pix below are of the original factory paint from an early 88 build date - as of last May 2012, but the top & below the rear hatch had been repainted in May 2007.

^ I was doing some rock chip touch-up (white dots on front end/etc.) before this, when my wife got clipped on the LF corner (damage in bottom pic), which pushed the Wety's repaint/resto in front of my 914 ..... again! dry.gif

That boogered up part is the bumper!.

The vagon cafe has new euro air-dame. The side under the door tappers up a little. fronts look the same.

The guy in seattle is imposable to get ahold of ! I had emails into him 10min after he posted about his mirrors. 2 days later he emailed me "Gone" thats it.


good luck

I was going to say..... Vagon Cafe comes up as a restaurant in Europe somewhere!

Van Cafe doesn't carry them & Bus Depot's are hard resin & not the flexible OEM style.
