New Year, Fresh Life & New Activity

The elegant front cover is of a 13K-mile Sea Blue & Blue-White 1963

Coupe owned by Jan Peter Henkels in Germany and the fantastic

rear cover holiday image was taken by Roland Gentner from

Switzerland of his 1969 Coupe.

I‟m thrilled to announce the addition of a new rep for Germany:

Michael Mosinger will manage the Southern area with the support of

Carsten Klein, Jorg Fischer, & Klaus Morsch. Michael has been

working hard on his 1966 Pigalle M345 restoration over the past

year and will no doubt finish with a top-shelf T34 when it‟s done.

I‟m very happy to announce that we have another excellent &

much-needed sheet metal repair panel available from Jurgen Wagner

in Germany! The lower rear corner sections have been created &

ready for shipment. This is a huge accomplishment for T34 owners

with rust in these areas. No more hand-made panels!

I‟m often asked whether an owner‟s T34 is “worth saving”

considering the rust, damage, & missing parts. Then I recently saw

this photo from France and it really puts it all into perspective,

doesn‟t it! Every T34 has something worth saving … it‟s just up to

the owner to decide how far you go with fixing the damage or

deciding it‟s better off parting out.

Another great new source available to T34 owners are the rocker

panel sets & the inner heater channel sets! Our Belgian rep Jurgen

Magdelyns is now offering both sets. Send him an email for prices &

photos ( JurgenMagdelyns@T34World.org ) or if you‟re in the USA

contact his North American distributor Carsten Klein

( CarstenKlein@T34World.org ) . A full article with photos will be

published in the next edition.

2012 Type 3 Calendar

If you‟d like to see a fresh T3 every month of 2012 then here‟s a new calendar from our

past few years. Cost is US$25 each with free shipping in the USA or Canada. For Europe

or Australia the cost is US$30. For multiple calendar orders please email

BobWalton@T34World.org for a proper quote to your part of the world. If you‟d

prefer to send a money order (payable to Bob Walton), send it to Bob Walton, PO Box

1441, San Gabriel, California 91778-1441 USA. If you‟d prefer to use PayPal make your

payment to Calendar@VW1500.com

The 2012 Type 3 Calendar includes three T34s: James Kramers‟ Bermuda & Cobalt 1966

Parts Source: Sheetmetal Rear Corners

One of the reasons that T34s are so difficult to restore is due to the

lack of replacement sheetmetal pieces for the areas that typically

rust. The rear corners are a perfect example, with rust developing

in the bottom-rear wheel well metal. Now we have a source for

new replacement sheet metal for this area from Jurgen Wagner in

Germany! The left or right rear lower corner sections are 115 Euro

each, a reasonable price considering the cost to have a shop create

hand-made panels. There are no pre-drilled bumper corner holes

because they can be more accurately marked & drilled after the

panel

has

been

welded-in.
