scarlet_vr6 0 Posted December 15, 2009 don't you just love the VW community... so much dedication to restoration so how about this attempt? A Norwegian guy is going to try to restore this 1957 Samba. I think it will be a lovely story if he manages it :clap: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dude VR6 0 Posted December 15, 2009 When do I start, this would be so worth it once it's done. I'm fed up of building F1 cars for a living, about time I did this instead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coolrado 0 Posted December 16, 2009 i have seen much worse examples of splitties restored to show winning condition, if the cargo floor is still intact as he said, that is better than the majority of resto projects, it's probably been quite well preserved in the depths.
