Thank you sir! Its really cool to see the transformation!
Thanx for stopn' by! I try to make a point to spend the weekend with my kids! Its important to me they see that vw's and money, are second to our relationship!
But for today... They are goin' to hang with their uncle. And I'm guna hit the streets and hunt for VW's to consign on TheBarnFind.com.... TBF somewhat of the hobby portion of what I do!
I truly enjoy findings forgotn' volkswagens! : )
Thanx again!
See ya soon! : )

| Hey could you possibly take a picture of the reinforcing bracket / box section inside the nose cone? My 56 has had this cut out to beat out accident damage so I need to make a new one! Cheers |
