I bought this 1952 split brezel in 2005 and it took 10 years to finish.
I found it in a city in the interior of southern Brazil, just a body, pan and documents, nothing else, no finishing, no engine, no seats and the bodywork was very rust.
It was a big challenge, but I managed to find original VW parts and still make great friends with people from all over the world (Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Portugal, Spain, France, USA, Australia, Argentina and of course, also from Brazil).
And in January 2016, my split bug might make the cover of a local air-cooled magazine.
And it was titled Cosmopolitan Split bug because it has original VW parts from several countries.
I am happy to share this story with other admirers and owners of VW aircooleds around the world.
So never stop believing in your dreams and never lose hope!
Thank's for your time :-) |
