..So I bought old molds of VW parts!

Hello everyone

My name is Scott, I live in Northern California and I bought out an old business that made VW Baja and drag fenders that was long defunct…

Hoping to get re-funked!
I have a bunch of old molds made back in the 1970s, quite heavily built, but nice gelcoat intact on most. I hope to do some pieces in carbon as well.

This seems like a great place to learn and I hope to expand soon to even more products, I love vw bugs!:smiley:

Welcome to the forums! You should talk to Werksberg on these forums. He is quite skilled in making Volkswagen parts and improving on OEM designs!

welcome along… quite a way to get into composites… jumping in at the deep end buying a company! what composites have you done before?

Welcome to the forum. I’m sure you will find plenty of useful information.

I am glad to have Werksberg as a friend, he has helped answer a lot of my questions and really is generous with his knowledge. The nice thing about composites is that you can experiment with new materials and resins -thats what I plan to be doing all winter long. I will be torture testing some new ideas for my baja kits, will post some results soon!

Hey vwcarbon, welcome! :slight_smile:
Make sure to post pictures of your experiments, trial and error is the best way to learn!

many thanks to all who responded, I hope to have some pix up soon.

Welcome buddy!

Good good we like sharing round here!!

Nice buy, welcome to the forum
