That was the one I was referring to in your 'other other' thread.
Even if it needs a lot of work, its easier to see what you need up front rather than waiting 10 weeks to find out :wink:

I've walked past George's KG many times. I'm trying to think of any information about it that could be helpful to you but I'm coming up blank :?

I looked into this car at one stage and from memory its missing the back seat and window.
Has a fair bit of rust, but can be fixed. The dash thats comes with it for a RHD conversion was bin material.

vw vert

Post by goldebug »

if its the green one , I drove up to look at it a long time ago (maybe 2004),
he had a blau one at time too, was bit later (60's).
I drove back with an empty trailer. was 9k at that time, & came with new roof, new pans.
I was concerned about rust in sills where you cant see as they have extra bits on floor and it was a lot of money for us to spend at the time.
roof wasnt offering much protection, for memory it had damage to front floor.
I have a video of it somewhere..

good luck with it , would be great to see it get restored.
