Thank you, my VW family, for the good wishes.
Thanks to everyone's support on the Lounge and with Dean Kirsten and Stephan Szantai plastering my car in 5 different magazines, I've had more than my 15 minutes of fame and am firmly, once again, addicted to VWs again. After finishing the split window, I spent almost a year saving a '76 Westfalia and this winter I've been making many improvements (at least I'm hopeful) to the '51......I know I said that I finished it but I had a fix-it list and a lot of ideas I wanted to try.
A long time ago, I was building it a new motor, the car was in pieces and I could hardly wait to drive it again, the goal was my then upcoming 27th birthday.
Forty years later I again hoped to drive it on my upcoming birthday........ but it will be another week or two
.....come to think of it, I didn't quite make it back then either
