I think I will start to restore the car this summer, first I must make a box for that and for my others VW!!!!

The car needs a lot of body work, interior is ok, the engine must to be rebuilt.
The top has many and deep dents.

My real worry is at the bottom of the windshield (where there are the grills). Here the sheet metal is rusted and very corroded. I need to replace this body part but I don't know where to buy (new or used).
Can you help me about this?

Thanks

Hello to Italy,

a warm welcome from me, too.

I remember having seen one of the pictures at "The Samba" already.

If this is an Italian car you should have at least little rust problems...

Keep on posting pics!

Best Regards

Jörg

Are you sure? I'm not.
I live in north Italy, here the climate is humid...cold and ice at winter. In other words a "rusty party"!

In fact, the car needs some new body parts that I don't know where to buy!!!!

But if it's too easy, isn't too funny! :D :D :D

Tanks for welcomes. Sunday I'll make more photos...

Hi Mirko.

The tow bar is used, but restored for Type3Detectives. I bought it there (U.K.). It is a Westfalia one, and you can find a lot of information of the Type 3 tow bars in this site. You must go to home: http://www.typ3.de/ , then click in Volksklinik, and finnally click in AHK - Anleitung.

Regards.

Angel.
