What a perfectly wonderful car. Are you sure it's turquoise? It looks pastel blue to me. I'd look into ways to remove that green paint..

Yikes! Check out that nasty wood panel attempt on your dash. Yuck! Hope that's coming off asap. Looks like you've got a real good ride there.  Other than a daily driver, what are your plans with it?...

I've heard on The Samba that oven cleaner and some elbow grease will take that paint off, but amazingly it leaves the factory paint unscathed.

Well, I'm slowly getting it closer to the road.  I pulled the trans axle out and replaced all of the original mounts, replaced the boots, rear seal, and filled it up with fresh oil.  I've got all...

looking good!just out of curiosity how bad is the rust on this car (speaking as a Californian) that lower quarter looks pretty crusty

Re: Bob's 1961 sunroof

Oh it's crusty alright.  It's a true Midwest car, rust in all the typical rusty VW places.  The best thing it's got going for it is that it is a numbers matching car, I mean the engine(in my shed) ,...

If you want to see rust I'll post pictures of my other '61 sunroof it's got rust in places that rust is normally afraid to go.
