Ok - this isn’t my resto and it isn’t a kombi.
It is a VW (64 beetle) and I have a part to play.
My mate “acquired” a 1964 Standard beetle the other day.
The old couple that lived across the road use to live in my mates house.
The 1964 beetle they owned and purchased new, all related to the house my mate lives in.
They parked it up in 1990 in a car port out the back (not sure why yet)
Anyway, when they moved into a home, they gave it to my mate.
Sadly a vine had grown all over it and leaves rested in the gutters and the body is now toast.
Otherwise it’s a bit of a time capsule.
All parts are there.
Anyway, the first beetle I bought was a 1964 in 1981.
After about 5 years I sold it to a mate. His girlfriend was driving and some idiot went through a stop sign and totalled it.
Mates father was a car wrecker and owned a bush block out at Buckety. (near Wollombi)
He took the motor out to drive a bush saw and the body stashed there in dry storage.
Had to cut the (damaged) front off and a bit of the rear to fit in his trailer.
So………. BTC restorations at Nana Glenn will be looking after the bodywork
Going to (hopefully) restoring my old white body and grafting all the green bits on.
It would be a LOT cheaper to buy a restored beetle by mate is sentimentally attached.
Good on him.
His is a Standard beetle that has been modified with trim and things and mine was a deluxe.
Mate needs to make up how this is going to go.
Anyway - I get to help without having to layout any of the folding green stuff
