Wow! Has anyone seen this?

I kinda stumbled across this in the gallery, and was shocked there's no build forum on it! Unreal work being done on a severly rusty DC! Maybe FredrikW will chime in?

2 questions....

Is this also what you call a hack???

Do you still call it an original 64 DC after replacing more than half of it's original metal???... Shocked

Love to see an answer this Wink

I don't think anyone would consider replacing rusty metal a hack.

All I can say is he must have really wanted a DC bad. More power to him.

Fredrik's profile says he is in Sweden.
It looks like Sweden is really hard on old VWs.

I´ve been wondering the same about mine, now I think is a 2013 Volkswagen doka instead of a 1960.

Makes you wonder how many welds other than the windshield frames they actually CUT. Or did they just lift and the chassis fell off? Very Happy
