This project would not have been possible without help from our Samba members.
To Ray Greenwood: The crown goes to you, you are the MAN! You found me impossible parts and gave me valuable knowledge and help.
To ClassicCamper (Ron): More help in finding parts and other support.
To The ADAC (Rob): NOS trigger points in 1 day! What more can I say.
To Jim Adney: A rebuilder galore.
To VWNOS (Heimlich). The king of NOS parts.
To Lars S: Lots of technical insight, problem solving, and moral support.
To NurseryWalt (Walter)., KT Phil, Kirk Knighton, Good advice and moral support.
To other business people: Tangerine Racing for MPS solutions, Akers Porsche for the real deal head temp. sensors, and Rudiger Huber in Germany for the impossible to find bumper impacts and Alex Pegado for custom made bright work.
To my body and paint shop: Automotive Images in Fife, Wa. You guys rock!
There are certainly others…
This was my Mom’s 412 and I prodded her to buy it. I was 19 years old at that time and loved Vw’s and Porsches. She absolutely loved it. She always said it responded so precisely and was solid as a tank. She passed away on August 26th 1995.
This is for you Mom!
THEN SUMMER 1976
NOW SUMMER 2022
