Planning to restore my 1980s SG Samba with my nephew. Missing a few parts, primarily driveshafts (which it used to snap in half regularly)... long shot, but anyone out there have any spares or know of anyone who does? Or even a whole car for sale. Leopard parts might be compatible, I'm not sure. Thanks all.

not to put a damper on your plans, but given I can see what appears to be fuel in that tank, I'd be pulling out the motor and stripping it down to see if it's still ok, and if not, seeing if you can get a replacement, or the parts to repair it before moving onto the chassis and such

The grime is on the outside of the tank, not the inside. Engine runs well, it's mainly driveshafts I need. Everything else can be cleaned, serviced or fabricated. They're simple dog-bone shafts and I'm wondering if a 3rd party item of the right length might work, if SG parts are scarce. There seem to be a few on ebay.
