I bought this fantastic car yesterday.

Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.

He put it away 1970 because some Engine trouble and now it is stuck.

It is untuched and unwelded but it needs some welding now but not so mutch.
Some kids smached the taillight lenses, popenose lens,spedo and clock glass and the inside mirror + 1 semaphore but the old man hade fixed all the parts exept for the mirror and glass to the Clock.

The small parts

Pretty nice interior exept for som rats hade a party inthere.

I have been trying to by this car for 5 yers now and finaly i was able to by it
after a auction betwen me and a real vw/porsche entusiasm.
The car was located 20km from me.
I guess the blue is original.

Very nice, the old man had much care with the car Wink

very cool and untouched.

Do you know what problems the engine had?

The small parts are extra? or missing that ones in the car?

Congratulations you are a lucky guy Razz

Wild guess: Broken cam gear.

That's a good thing. It saved the car for you!

Congrats! Johan81......You found a nice one. They are still out there...just have to keep your eyes open and have the cash ready. Sweden seems to be a very fruitful hunting ground for split-window bugs and barndoors. You guys are lucky.....I'm just glad you guys share with the rest of us Cool

....Keep the pics coming and get it rolling and enjoy.
