Finaly it is back home....
The car on the left is ANOTHER Kdf 43. Christian and his father are again lucky( it is how you see it) to have a few new cars in their collection.
It will now be " a piece of cake " to restore this one. The man in charche for the metal work is looking not so happy on the pict but he is the man to do it. And he did other magic to some cars.
Congrats family Grundmann.
Greetings Peter .

Now that is good news. I assume this means the car is shortly to be fully restored? If so, I'd love to follow its progress on its own website which I think it deserves.
Posted by: Standard split - 27 April 2009 22:40:50
An incredible task, but an incredible car:wink:
Wish them all the luck with this. It seems that the car is in the best hands if there is any chance to get it right :beer:

This is very good news, congratulations with the purchase of both cars! I hope to take a closer look at the VW38 at H.O. in June.
I’m a bit surprised that the previous owner decided to let go of the ’43 also, but I assume he was not having any intention to restore any of the cars…!? btw, what is the difference between a Typ 82e and a Typ 92 KdF?
Good luck with the restauration project(s) and keep us updated on the progress please!
Regards from Belgium,
Paul

I'm very happy about the outcome! I was kind of worried at one point that the parties involved will not come to an agreement, but all is good now. Looking forward to seeing the ’38 once more; this time at at HO!
Congratulations Christian!

from my site, i have long followed the thread on thesamba, and i pressed my thumb for the grundmanns...
this was a right decision, and if the fix and restore the car, it will be difficult to top this story and this find..
congratulations again from my site :-)

When you think that some cars have most of those bits replaced anyway, it could be worse!
:wink:
Okay, it is in a right state and it being made ten years before any new parts will fit does not help!
How do they intend on making the front 1/4s?
What year is the chassis they are intending on using?
:d
This is a 67 than came out looking brand new! It was even at Volksworld! :wink:

hey,
They will use the chassis that was recently found and was part of an early kubel. It came out that it was very early chassis from 39 or even 38.8)
Christian his team will probably recreate the front part out of scratch, like they did it decades ago when they start making the car like new in 38.
He have acces to all possible drawings of that kind of car. The car in the museum can be used to make templates or getting details.
An engine from the same area is waiting for years in the collection.
A great deal of parts was found already ....:shock:
The rest is craftmanship and knowledge, time and money.

I've talked yesterday to Christian at the Maikaefertreffen in Germany and he looked very happy with the new cars! :d :beer:
Posted by: zelensis61 - 24 September 2009 21:26:43
Today, Christian announced on thesamba that it is most likly VW 38/06 :shock: .
This is what he wrote:
[quote][i]Hello,
first i like to say thanks to everyone who helped us .
Yes i also know now that this car is 43006. It has no sunroof so the discription from Chris Barber or from the picture is wrong.
I think that the back hood has not been changed as it is stamped Nr. 52 and the front hood is also stamped 52.
We still have pieces of the orginal floor pan ( the middle tunnel ) and on this you can hard see the numbers 3?/?6 so this fits also to the deails we have found out.
Christian[/i][/quote]
The give away was the W decklid that had different "w" part left and right.
That is the result of hand beaten pannels.
Oh and the chassis part with the nr on it was also good to identify the car:roll:
Great to have a number on the car now. The restoration can go on now. :beer:
Best regards. Peter
