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 Wink

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.

Rebuild the pedals




Hurst line lock installed.



The Russ Welsh split was the inspiration for the build, after i read the article in the Ultra VW i was in love with the colour and everything…



So the car was painted Taiga grun/Sage green



Rebuild the headlights.



Talbot mirror and one piece windows.





Seats en doorpanels with westfalia upholstery.








As seen in some old pictures, detailed the valve covers 😎




Headliner installed.

S

Changed the red for orange, looks better with the seats.




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
















After the car was ready, Dokke came by for a photo shoot for Volksworld magazine. And to my great suprise it was the cover car….

Nice Greeny looker !  Wink

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.  Cool
