Super desireable/rare car here for assembly. In great shape. Just needs love.
The plan is to be rolling on Fuchs with dual carbs…We’re going to have some fun building it.
What?!?!?!! Gotta be kiddin me!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Wow sweet! We were just talking about doing something with the JJJ 55 vert.
VW bug by Mattel. Glue not included.
shit… Maybe I could work on this some.. 😎 😎
Kelly… what color is this???

John…. It’s Yukon Yellow. Mary and I have’t settled on the interior and top color. I don’t think we want black, even though that’s what Yukon Yellow had from the factory. I have some King Crab Fuchs for the front and deep six Fuchs for the rear that I’ll box up and ship out shortly.
Mary and I can’t wait to see this car come together.

If your up to it that would be great. Just take it easy, I don’t want this project getting you down.

I’ll work slow…. 😎
Gonna start looking the body over and see what it may need first… 😎
John.. If y’all can get me a list of stuff needed to start putting this back together, I’ll start ordering and having it shipped there ASAP.

You got it!!!! Franz got your vert moved into the clean shop this morning… I am going to start sorting things out and see what I can get done.. 😎 😎

Great…Don’t forget to add stuff to the list, that I’m going too have to track down on Samba or either buy from some VW hoarder that has the last 55 Vert rear view mirror.
Super cool car!
Maybe a light tan interior would look good?

Willy…That’s one of the choices on our list of colors.
I’m hesitant to ask John or Franz to do a website poll on the group of colors cause we could ended up with 2-3 pages of talk about why or why not to have a certain color. But I’m open to everyone’s suggestions.
Web site Poll…… 😎 😎 Thats funny… and was done soo much about 10 years ago…. 😎 Not so much anymore… 😎
I didn’t accomplish much yesterday.. I got the body transferred over to one of my body dollies… and Gave it a bath!!! It was dirty dirty!!! and needs me to do some rubbing on it.. it has tape residue and spots that are marred from a cover or parts storing or something… More progress today!!! 😎
Washed a bunch of the storage and transport dust and muck off yesterday… 😎
This morning I was using this adhesive remover to get all the tape residue off the car… it was randomly everywhere. 😎
Then onto tapping holes for assembly prep..
Looks like we are missing a running board hole… 😎 We are missing a trim hole on the pass front 1/4 also… 😎 8-( Them Jack points look funny also?? maybe????
Lots of good parts….. Lots of missing parts also… 😎 Franz noticed your taillights are american spec 55.. You need hearts… I haven’t seen lenses or bulb holders for these yet either… 😎 Wrong headlight switch.. this is 59 style… I have not seen a wiper switch also…. But you have an NOS ignition switch!!!!!! 😎 😎 😎 😎 No chrome for middle of dash, also no speedo trim ring either…. Maybe there are more trinkets hiding in a box????
The speedo is SOOOOO nice and original…. Do you want it sent in and restored by Orange Empire zero’ed out and shit?
Also… I haven’t seen a stitch of hardware…. New I assume… regular Hex head?? Please not Allen head!!! 8-(
