Looks like an interesting challenge.
If you are in need of an 52 bus engine, I have 20 - 0 488 xxx.
Located in central middle Franconia Bavaria Germany.
Humorous thinking, Österreich ist ein schönes Land, wenn nur die Österreicher nicht wären, jedenfalls so manche Kiberer!
Any way, good luck, many greetings to Austria!

Subscribed! There is nothing better on the Samba than a good Barndoor build.
I enjoyed your deluxe build and I am excited to see the progress you make on this panel.
Do you know any of this bus's history before your friend owned it? _________________

Magnificent, a big job in perspective, I'm going to look at it very closely to get inspired by the restaurant business |

While i sit next to the car drinking some beer i had seen a letter, after some hours of paint removing i see some more letters, the paint are bot going off easily, but the letters do...
I put a 53 door in the panel and a older window frame to check the gaps, looks much better.
Some Halloween fun...

Very cool project, I think that a lot of people here like to follow such projects and their progress. Even if there isn't that much feedback because it's more just looking than acting. I won't exempt myself from that...
The box looks sturdy in some places and like it was worked with a giant can opener in others. What happened to it?
Anyway nice project !
Greetz, Felix |

Finally! You are here in the 'pro' forum for the slim and proper ladies. It was about time to leave them 'fat chicks' be....
I will second above thought, and ask if you know any history about the bus ? most probably Austrian delivered?
it seems, that it had a crash and the area where you scraped the paint appears to have torch heat spots from straightening.
Are you thinking about another patina restoration, or rather some functional repaint? Are you going to split the chassis from the shell ?
So many questions, that we will hopefully be updated here in the future.

I think your bus is earlier than July, The inspection plate in your picture above was discontinued at chassis number 20-026364. My bus 20-026662 is a may 52 bus and doesn't have the hole.
Good luck with the project! _________________

I've been following your T1 renovation and it's perfect metal work. I'm rebuilding a BD51, and I've learned a lot from your work. I look forward to working on your barndoor. It's a vw with soul, and like so many others, it deserves to be back on the road. IN |
