Thank you all! But you say, my oval is not perfect...
The second owner (a friend of me) lowered it so much, and modified the original front gear... Today I have put another front gear (from a low light 56) for have an original height... The suspension was too modified with 4 Kon's shock absorbers... I'm very very sad for it, but with this modifications it drives very fine and the rest of the car is mostly original and authentic, a lovely patina oval!
I hope that you understood my horrible English...
Jaxx
P.S: If you have it I'm searching an original front gear from march 53... _________________ 1972 Brazilian 15 windows |

Hello,
I have seen this car in the "flesh" today at a meeting in Ninove. It really is an awesome car in his original condition. Shame the owner wasn't at his car at the moment I was, so we couldn't have a nice chat. Nevertheles I took some great pics of the car!
many greetings, Michel _________________ T1 1965 split bus FULLY RESTORED

Don’t make it to complicated, the three official languages in Belgium are Dutch, French and German. Flemish as such is not a language, but often used to refer to the Dutch language, as spoken in Belgium. The Dutch we speak in Flanders is very similar to the Dutch spoken in The Netherlands, only differences are the pronouncation and the use of specific vocabulary. There are no spelling differences and the language taught in schools is “Algemeen Nederlands” (Common Dutch). The “Nederlandse Taal Unie” (Dutch Language Union), founded by the Netherlands and Belgium in 1980, defines what is Algemeen Nederlands and what is not. Just as simple as that…
@jaxx: nice oval, I saw it at the Ninove show last Sunday, amazingly original VW
Vriendelijke groeten, Salutations amicales, Freundliche Grüße, Friendly greetings,
