It's looking really good!

I would seriously consider correcting the front window openings before you build it up. It'll be much less painful to get it fixed now (assuming you want to)

If that's the case maybe he could just ask 10 foot Doug on some pointers on how to drive a barndoor with slightly smaller windows

I really will fix this detail. As I said in my first post: "My main goal is making an original factory condition restoration, within what´s possible...".

But it´s not possible now. The bodywork and painting were made in a workshop located 155 miles from home and these photos were taken more than a year ago Sad

At the moment the Barndoor is stored in my garage, at home, and I'am slowly assembling it with my own hands. This happens slowly because I do this only in my fee time. My professional activity is quite different from that.

I'm no expert in restoration, but I have a lot of willingness to learn. No hurry and without term. It's my therapy.

So, my priority now is mounting: glasses, wiring loom, brake system, engine, seats, upholstery, headliner, sunroof...

Still need to restore the semaphores and brake light. As you can see, I have a lot of fun ahead.

At some point I'll stop to correcting the front windows openings for sure, but not now Wink

Gradually I will show the pictures of the work I ever did and what I am doing. I will have many doubts and questions. I count on your collaboration. Thank you for following!

Yeah... I am not sure how the #'s actually work.. always seems like there are way more Engine #'s then there are Busses made each month


Engine numbers were consecutive as they went into vehicles being produced.....meaning there were not separate running numbering systems for type 1 and type 2. The prefix made the distinction for what type of vehicle they went into. -1- for beetle and -20- for bus. Two consecutive engine numbers could have been for a beetle and then a bus, but with different prefixes. That's why it seems there are more engine numbers than busses being built. There were! The other numbers were in beetles.

Hi Brian! At about 4 years ago I lost some pictures when my notebook burned down. Unfortunately I lost the first pictures of the bus because I had not backed up Brick wall
