Very cool. Looks mostly complete on the outside. Not sure how much is left of the inside. More pics when you can please. Cool
Make sure all of the mechanical parts for the sunroof are there though.

Sunroof is complete and working. Luckily it hasn't been torn apart.

I'll post more pictures when I pick it up and during the resto.

I picked up my notchback yesterday. What I got is a big puzzle with some extra and some missing pieces.

Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.


Most of it is actually quite nice, but I have decided I will need to replace the heater channels, inner rockers and probably also the outer rockers which are new but not well done.

Once I am at it I might also decide to replace the floor pans on both sides.

It looks like I will have to make the inner rockers and heater channels my self because all I can find are replacements for the later style. I will need some measurements of the front heater vent. The PO welded them shut Shocked

Here are two more pictures:

One other thing is the side markers are in the wrong location on pre 64 cars they are above the trim line. I can get you measurements and pics of this as well as the heater vents.

I haven't noticed the wrong location of the parking lights, good point. But at the moment I am glad I have good fenders. I will move the lights should I repaint the fenders at some point.

Measurements would be very helpful and much appreciated.

Not nitpicking, but you are sporting a square back pass door, or in your case, a RHD driiver door. Notchbacks did not have passenger mirrors.

See it as an update for traffic safety Very Happy . But, thank you for pointing it out, I am still learning, just got it and I am sure there is more to come.

How do you get the glove box cover to open when you push the button? I have to push the Button and then pull on the cover with my fingernails.

There are two rubber nipples at both top corners, that slightly push outward all the time. Over time, they flatten out and or are missing. When they are present, they push the lid out when you depress the chrome button.

The same part as the later fuel door uses.
I guess that's why an aftermarket pull handle (that goes under the button) was offered. The rubber bumpers might be in one of the boxes that came with the car.

The bumpers are there, I'll try adjusting the catch a bit tighter hoping that will help.

I sorted through the parts and now have a fairly good idea of what is obviously missing, I have already started to hunt for parts. I should be getting a salvaged heater channel and rocker in really good condition for the left side. I believe I should be able to fix the right side because it nowhere as bad as the left side.

But right now I am working on getting the windows back in. I need to be able to move the car out side from time to time. We use the garage where it sits as a workshop and one of my sons need a new motor in his Jetta 1 Diesel. Once that is back on the road I can really dig into this one.

Here is a picture of the engine compartment. I haven't done anything to it yet. Haven't even removed the hazelnut shells, that some rodent left there.

It looks like it is the original motor. The number fits to the chassis number and it has not been rebuilt. The fuel pump is not original but I am getting the correct one probably next week. I already have new bellows and the air intake is also in the parts stash.

Looks like the right motor for the smaller early engine bay. I found rebuild kits for the PHN carb on eBay, iirc, user was alfa1750.

Thanks for the hint with the rebuild kit. I ordered one, I am sure I will need it.

I started to do some minor work on my new project. First goal is to get all of the windows back in, because I need to be able to move it out side without the inside getting wet when it rains.

I disassembled and cleaned the door locks and reinstalled the window regulators.

I sanded down the rust on the rear window frame and treated it with Owatrol and Branthokorrux for rust prevention. This will need sometime to really dry toughly, then I reinstall the rear window temporarily.

I removed the steering column because some one had stripped the threads. Welded new material to the column and then turned it down to the right size on my lathe and used a M18 x 1.5 dye to cut the new threads.

I also did some exploration into one of the POs patches. Unfortunately it looked worse than I had hoped for. I have a complete left rocker clip but I will have to rebuild the right side myself.

On the positive side, my dash looks really clean, even the original pad is un-cracked.
