The story behind this latest restoration is quite a long one in time rather than telling, A year or so ago I was collecting parts for my 58 resto from Andy Fleet in Norfolk UK, whilst in his workshop there was a Bug which had been in an accident. He intended to repair the car but with other commitments never got around to it. Whilst in a conversation later I asked if he still had the car and was told it was still sitting in the shop. So a deal was struck to trade some wheels for the car. It was in need of a Door pillar repair along with the replacement of some parts such as door and wing(Fender) and some smaller patch welding to combat the inevitable rust issues. The intention was to repair the damage and complete the smaller repairs using some used parts, The car was to become a driver rather than a show car, and repaired on a very tight budget with a few nice addidtions like some POPOUTs and Rossi Headlamps, and for fun some 5 lug sprint stars ( sadly these never made it to the car ) As i traded the car for a 1914cc Drag racer with a local VW enthusiast. The trade included the basis of a 1776 motor i intended to use on the 59 Convertible project.
