Looks good my friend. Cool You sure are a gluten for punishment aren't you. Laughing This one should be easier than the other 2 you've done, unless it's hiding some hidden repairs.
Still finding some of the rubber bits are going to be your biggest challenges. Have fun. Very Happy

It'll be a fun & relatively easy project, Pedro!

No idea how it originally got into the USA. First discovered in Parker Colorado in the mid-80's. Sold to Doug Gray (CO) in 2000 and restored in custom style. Upgraded to 4-lug aluminum Mahle GasBurner wheels with front disk brakes, 12V electrics, late-model engine, custom exhaust, lowered, decklid bolted to rear hood, and given bright red upholstery to mimic a 356 color scheme. Sold in 2010 to Doug's neighbor who relocated to Sacramento CA. Not driven much since then.

VIN #0 042 990 was built 18 May 1962. It's the 95th oldest T34 in our database. It has a lot of the early-62 parts like side front seat design, no grilles over the rear duct holes, rectangular nose emblem, KG on rear vertical panel with the no-tab 1500 script.

It desperately needs to be brought back to stock. It's in excellent hands with Pedro & his limitless energy and relentless drive to get it restored properly.

Nice VW!!
That red interior is great.

Cant wait to see the progress and finished refurb and I 100% agree with you on returning it back to Stock condition.


Do you still have the other type 34 you just finished?

The color of the rims looks white in the pictures but they are actually a light blue. They are so nice in person with polished trim rings, correct hubcaps and those tires.
