Pre 53 popouts

Another great add from the fifties. The first generation popouts. A very sought after item with frames made of solid aluminium.

Question: Whats correct for a 1951 bug?

I've got lots of Wolfsburg badges lying around and see some small differences. Here is a good example. Take a look at the tail of the wolf and the bricks in the second row from the bottom of the castle... Details details..

I simply love those odd split radios..

This one is not so often seen in cars 60 years later after it came out of the assembly line.

Stufengas - cool accessory from the fifties

This piece was mounted in a 54 oval back in the eighties and used for a couple of years. The former owner went for many long trips with it and can confirm that you actually save a bit of fuel using it. The box and manual was saved for later. Now, both are resting together in my basement.

Kübelwagen soapbox car

When it comes to soap box cars, this must be one of the coolest I've seen so far. Wonder if its fast downhill...

VW 38

Thanks to Christian Grundmann and thesamba.com "we" all know this car. Well, here are some pictures of it provided by Sechs volt. The paint on this car was truely amazing!

Oh no!

I've been waiting for this... Now you can get everything brand new. Manifolds was made with concave lettering as some of the originals was. I hope he doesn't start making the ones with convex lettering. Then it will be very difficult to see the difference between OG and Repro..

Hunting high and low - crashboxes

I've been looking for a crashbox for quite a while now. I have so far experienced that it is not easy to find a box from a particular month. So far this is my best choice.. Can YOU tell me production month without looking it up..?

Pilgrimage – going back to the roots, literally..

After driving one and a half hour i finally came to the place where the wreck of my 51 Karmann kab once was found back in 1977. The guy that discovered the car – or should I say the remains of the car - told me it was growing a tree inside it back then.. I would really love to find a photo of it before it was rescued, but so far I've been unable to find one. Anyway, the spot was quite easy to find thanks to KAs great memory after all these years.

Now,many years later there was nothing to see on the same spot, except broken bits of glass. And – yes - i checked all the bits for SEKURIT logos, but could not find any...

Summer vacation

The summer sun sets, enjoying a cold beer on the balcony....and installing new valves and springs on my ported and flycutted heads..... =)
