My newest toy! Bought it from the owner in Germany in January, who owned it since 1971. The base was good and almost all correct parts where there. Try to finish it for this summer! That's not me on the picture but the previous owner! :lol: [ATTACH]1752[/Attach]

Damn! You don't waste any time do you!! :shock: Is there any way to remove the roof before you paint the car? Or are you fitting a new one anyway?

Posted by: vintagevw - 12 April 2008 10:10:44
Hi, I'm only working after my daily work on it but goes well. Iwon't remove the roof becouse I want to keep the original upholstery on the roof. It has some cracks but ...... It has to look a bit old too. :lol:

It would be good to have the wooden roof rail at the back of the car easily removable, to do the body work, but I don't know if its possible. :?

[/quote] The wooden bow above the rear window? if so then you won't be able to replace this with the headliner in place, the screws are underneath. The wooden bow around the back would be replaceable though.

Posted by: JD - 12 April 2008 14:57:35
Thats what I was afraid of. That thing is well and truly nailed in to place.

Posted by: '50 Karmann - 12 April 2008 17:03:52

If you are talking about the large Horse shoe shaped bow above the engine lid. That piece of wood is not easily removed(i can only speak from the expierience of an early car, mind you,1950). On the early cars this bow is fastened by nails thru' the bodywork,the heads are then lead loaded.There are also steel tabs welded to the inner body work,which screws pass thru' and into the bow. The bow in my car was bedded on a piece of seat material to asure it lay level. If you are replacing the outer hood and padding,i'm sure the other bows can be removed without too much damage being done to the headcloth. The most rust i found on my car was under the large horseshoe shaped bow,it would appear a prone area for trapping water. I would certainly say this is an area that if you do not treat you will have big problems. If the later cars are built in the same way, the photograph shows the sort of damage you will need to make to your car to remove the lower bow :cry: [ATTACH]1180[/Attach]

Posted by: JD - 13 April 2008 12:13:04

Thanks George. AFAIK, the bow is fitted in a pretty similar fashion, although I don't think the nail heads are lead loaded on the outside, which should make life easier. Like I said - I could use a new hood outer, which will probably mean a new wood bow around the back, and when thats out, I don't know what I might unearth, in the way of rust. I didn't want to end up getting sucked into a ton of bodywork, just to put a new hood on!

Drivers side door is repaired. Once the outsidepannel was replaced becouse of a huge accident in the drivers side door, that was the reason that I was looking for a very solid one but that's not so easy if you need one quick so I planned to repair that door. The inside was also bent but had no rust the door is straight now. [ATTACH]1204[/Attach]

My gearstick, handbrake, feul reserve handle and seats are in beige colour. So only the steering colum and semaphore switch are in body colour. I think that's only a vert thing. Also in the front trunk everything was painted in body colour. Even the bumperguards and bolts where in bodycolour, was still in first paint inside. Those verts are strange cars! :lol: Doe anybody knows if there is someone who is making the card board for the front trunk? Also this should be painted in body colour.

Those rain channels at the foot of the rear window always get in a bad way Pascal,the small tubes get blocked aswell, mine were equally as bad as yours. I did a 100% strip of my frames,glass out, new rubbers. The frames particulary on the front windows spring apart,maybe worse on a split as no quarter lights(vent windows)it's a big headache getting them back together. I had to use two big wood working clamps and wind them in.All the time the new rubber is moving.Not a job i ever look forward to doing again. But i really felt like i had achieved something when they were back complete again.

I can ask to the colourmen in our Glasurit shop if he want to give the mixing formula.... I don't know him very well but I will ask him. That is no garantee that this will match to the paint they use in the states. If we restore a car from the states we need to remove all the old paint becouse the material is diffrent and there is a lot of bondo on those cars (most of them) :wink:

I've asked to Wolfgang Gips in Germany if he could make also the firewall cardboard and he will. It is the same material as the front trunk cardboard. I still had the original one. I guess the oval verts would have the same ones, maybe with exeption of some wirehole cuttings. [ATTACH]2604[/Attach]

Pascal, Looks great, I finaly found a picture from my mirror in a brochure :d Are you going to NINOVE?? Then I could take that pliers with me that you need for your rubbers ! Could you take a sample with you from the rubber that Heikki made ! Somebody told me there is a litlle different between split and zwitter rubbers :roll: The original rubbers are still on my car so I could check that ! I'll remove a Window scraper this week , and check what it will cost to reproduce these ! Would these also be correct for oval cabrio? Don't tell me its a zwitter only rubber?:twisted: Could you post a picture from the back side from your mirror ? Yes I know, A lot of questions:roll: Thanks, Guido

Posted by: vintagevw - 10 March 2009 20:06:16

Hi Guido, Yes I'm going to Ninove. I'll took a picture of my rear vieuw mirror. The mirror is not the same as a normal beetle but much more rounded. I've inspected my original roofrubbers and there is no diffrence between mine and the ones from Heikki. Even in an early partsbook there are no diffrent numbers between split and zwitter vert roofrubbers. The windowscrapers are the same zwitter and oval verts till august 1955 that's for sure. I have to check in a later parts list book but I guess they will be the same till 1957. The wedges are also the same as oval verts till august 1955. I'm sure thee is a market for becouse nobody is making them correct! Here you have some pictures of the rear vieuw mirror, roofrubbers and windowscrapers. The left mirror is the vert one. The windowscrapers are much more rounded ten the repro's, the originals have the correct shape of the body and the repro's don't....

Posted by: Etzhold1 - 10 March 2009 20:55:49

Thanks for posting the pictures Pascal ! So I take that pliers with me to Ninove ! IMO, there are a few small differences in the L profile rubbers that you are showing in the picture, just like a friend told me , I think those repro window scrapers you have there, will not fit like it should be on your car, take all those rubbers with you , so we can check them together in a pub in Ninove with a few Duvels on the table ! ! Don't forget the sunvisor ! Now I'm 100% sure I'll make the window scrapers for zwitters and ovals ! Maybe also the window scrapers for split beetles (sedan) somebody told me that the rubbers I made for the hood and decklid are also correct window scrapers for split beetles :?: :?: :?: ! But ET was giving me an in his opinion original scraper, and that rubber was not showing the 3 lines and was also a litlle wider ! So I'm still looking for the correct profil for these rubbers ! Cu, Guido

I've installed the door and roofrubbers from Heikki. I got a special "rubberknife" from Guido and that was already a good start. To have the rubber slashed I used a small polish machine and used sandingpaper on it (P320) The rear roofrubber was nailed on both sides becouse they are fixed at the wooden part...

Here is the story already in German. Sorry for the delay! :beer: Unsere Reise mit 23 PS nach Istanbul! 1971 als ich meine Führerscheinprüfung ablegte,bekam ich von meinen Eltern einen dunkelgrünen VW Käfer- Cabrio aus dem Jahre 1952 geschenkt. Das Auto war die Wucht .Der Käfer hatte noch die Seitenwinker, ein Gasrollpedal und einen Knopf als Anlasser .Da keine Benzinuhr vorhanden war, musste ich mit einem Holz- Messstab die Benzinmenge im Tank messen. Wurde das Benzin mal knapp(was öfter vorkam)wurde mit dem Fuß ein Benzinhahn auf Reserve umgelegt . Eines Tages bekamen mein Freund(jetziger Ehemann)und ich eine Einladung von einem befreundetem Türken nach Istanbul. Wir überlegten nicht lange und entschlossen uns für diese Reise. Bei einer vorsorglichen Überprüfung des Käfers in einer Werkstatt, wurde uns abgeraten mit diesem 20 Jahre alten Auto so eine Reise zu unternehmen . Aber von wegen. Wir hatten uns für die idyllische Strecke über die Jugoslawische Küstenstraße ,durch das Monte- Negro Gebirge an der Albanischen Grenze entlang nach Alexandropolis in Griechenland entschieden, um dort ein paar Tage mit unserem Zelt Pause zu machen. Unsere Fahrt durch das Monte- Negro Gebirge sorgte für große Überraschungen und Aufregungen. Nachdem eine gut eingezeichnete Strecke in der Landkarte plötzlich in eine Schotterpiste überging .Wir waren noch guter Dinge, doch es kam anders als wir dachten. Die Schotterpiste wollte nicht enden. Kein Dorf ,kein Auto, keine Tankstelle nichts und unser Holz-Messstab zeigte nicht mehr viel Benzin an .Zirka 50 km waren wir auf Schotter gefahren und dann das! Plötzlich fing der Motor an zu stottern und das Auto blieb stehen. Mir wurde ganz anders zu Mute .Mein Mann immer positiv Denkend machte sich im Motorraum des Käfers zu schaffen .Der Ölbadluftfilter war durch den Staub verstopft. Mittlerweile kamen aus dem angrenzenden Wald mehrere Männer mit Turbanen und umhängenden Gewehren auf uns zu. Wir bekamen es mit der Angst zu tun. Ich trieb meinen Mann zur Eile an. In Windeseile wurde der Filter gereinigt und wir konnten unsere Fahrt glücklicherweise fortsetzen, bevor wir mit den Männern Bekanntschaft machen mussten. Mit dem letzten Tropfen Benzin erreichten wir die Stadt Pec. Als wir dort mit offenen Verdeck ankamen ,wurden wir sofort von vielen Kindern belagert, die auf unseren Trittbrettern des Käfers standen. Ihre Hände waren überall im inneren des Wagens. Sie wollten Zigaretten. Kugelschreiber und Süßes. Wir gaben was wir hatten .Dieser Teil der Fahrt war gut überstanden .Der Käfer lief und lief bis Alexandropolis in Griechenland. Kurz nach der Weiterfahrt von Alexandropolis ,ging schlagartig der Motor aus und ließ sich auch nicht mehr starten .Ein mühevoll herbei geholter nur griechisch sprechender Mechaniker nahm sich der Sache an. Zur Prüfung der elektronischen Anlage, wollte er eine 12 Volt Batterie anschließen ,was wir zu verhindern versuchten, da der Käfer nur eine 6 Volt Anlage hatte. Durch seine Gestik machte er uns klar ,dass dies erforderlich sei und wir ließen ihn machen. Beim umklemmen auf die 12 Volt Batterie begann der Lichtschalter im Armaturenbrett zu rauchen. Dies war die griechische Methode einen Kurzschluss zu finden .Er baute einen provisorischen Schalter und ein neues Kabel ein und siehe da, er lief. Wir konnten unsere Reise nach Istanbul vortsetzen. Dort angekommen hatten wir 3500 km zurückgelegt. Im Istanbuler Straßenverkehr zwischen den alten Amerikanischen Straßenkreuzern war unser Cabrio ein viel beachteter Exote. Die Heimfahrt führte uns über Bulgarien und dem Jugoslawischen Auto- Putt. Nach 7000 km zurückgelegter Strecke erreichten wir glücklich unsere Heimatstadt in Deutschland. Nach 32 Jahren entschloss ich mich, den Käfer in Ebay zu versteigern .Ein Sammler aus Belgien erhielt den Zuschlag. Er nimmt eine komplette Restaurierung mit Originalteilen vor ,die er uns durch Bilder im Internett dokumentiert .Ich bin froh mein geliebtes Cabrio in so guten Händen zu wissen.

Posted by: vintagebug - 16 September 2010 00:53:38

OK..... the moment you have all been waiting for... (to the sound of a fanfare of trumpets)- after all these months of anticipation here is the English translation (yes, we managed to find it). "Back in 1971, to celebrate passing my driving test, my parents gave me a 1952 dark-green VW Beetle cabrio. A real stunner. It had semaphores, an accelerator roller pedal and a starter button. Since there was no petrol gauge, I had to use a wooden dipstick to measure the fuel level. If I was running low (a not uncommon occurrence), I had to kick the fuel tap to switch to the reserve. One day, a Turkish friend invited my boyfriend (now my husband) and me to visit him in Istanbul. We didn’t hesitate for long before deciding to make the trip. During a precautionary service of the Beetle, we were advised against undertaking a journey of this magnitude in a 20-year old car. We paid no heed. We chose an idyllic route, taking the Yugoslavian coastal road, through the Montenegro mountains, then along the Albanian border to Alexandropolis in Greece, where we would camp for a few days in our tent. Our journey through the Montenegro mountains turned out to be a real adventure. After following a section that was clearly marked on the map, we suddenly found ourselves on an unsurfaced track. We were undaunted, but things didn’t turn out quite as we had expected. The track seemed to go on for ever. Not a village, a car or even a petrol station in sight, and our wooden dipstick showed that we were running dangerously low on fuel. After struggling along this rough track for 50 km this was the last thing we needed! The engine suddenly began to splutter and the car came to a standstill. My mood changed. My husband, remaining positive, had a look in the Beetle’s engine compartment. The oil-bath air filter was clogged up, thanks to all the dust. In the meantime, a group of men wearing turbans and carrying guns emerged from the neighbouring woods. We watched with great apprehension. I told my husband to get a move on. The filter was cleaned at lightning speed and, as luck would have it, we were able to continue on our way without having to make the acquaintance of these gentlemen. We made it to the town of Pec on our last few drops of petrol. As we drove in with the roof down, we were immediately besieged by hordes of children who jumped on to the Beetle’s running boards. Their hands were all over the inside of the car – in search of cigarettes, pens and sweets. We gave them whatever we had. We had survived this part of the journey. The Beetle gamely soldiered on until we reached Alexandropolis in Greece. Shortly after leaving Alexandropolis, the engine abruptly died and refused to start again. We finally managed to track down a mechanic, unfortunately he spoke only Greek but he did agree to take the job on. He wanted to connect a 12-volt battery to check the electrical system. We tried to stop him, since the Beetle only had a 6-volt system, but with a great deal of pointing and gesturing, he explained to us that there was no other way. So we let him. As soon as the 12-volt battery was connected, we noticed smoke coming from the headlamp switch in the dash. We had learned the Greek method of locating a short circuit. He installed a temporary switch and a new cable and the Beetle was resuscitated. We were ready to continue our journey to Istanbul. By the time we arrived there, we had travelled 3,500 km. Caught up in the Istanbul traffic, surrounded by old American road cruisers, the exotic sight of our cabrio proved a real head-turner. The trip home took us through Bulgaria and along the Yugoslavian “autoput” (a motorway in the former Yugoslavia). After a round trip of some 7,000 km, we finally arrived back home in Germany. After 32 years, I decided to auction my Beetle on eBay. A Belgian collector won the bidding. He is completely restoring the car with original parts and is documenting the whole story, including pictures, for us on the Internet. I am happy to know that my beloved cabrio is in such good hands." (c) Wee Jeanie Midnight Translations Ltd. :d A good story Pascal, and a journey which I think you should repeat with the restored cabrio... 8)
