Title: The rebuild of my ‘72 late looker
Post by: Addie/DVK on July 28, 2022, 17:50:27 pm
It's been a while since my last post, I couldn't even find my thread. That's why I'm creating a new one to share the photos of the project. A lot of work has been done in the last 5 years, the plan to drive again within 1 year didn't work out ;)

This is the car before the resto, looks good on the picture but the years were starting to count and welding was needed on the body.

Some serious work has been done on the body, new side panels, heather channels, front end etc. Trimholes  welded up en the rear panel needed some work.

Because some oil pressure problems, the old 1955 was replaced by a fresh 2110 built at VW airhouse.

Nice Greeny looker !  ;)

Maybe the nick "Greeny" would raise some eyebrows, because it was used to name a very cool Les Paul guitar, but it suits this car very well.  8)
