A new big project.
A 1967 21 window samba.
Needs a lot of work but is still restorable.
The good, solid roof.
The bad, everything under the roof... :lol: :lol: :lol:
As all the other aircooled Volkswagens is the 1967 samba also a one year model so a lot of small details who are diffrent as a 1966.
This bus is an original Austrian bus but is already 10 years in Belgium.
In his last drivable period it was used as a camper, so they pull out the bulkheadpanel... :cry:
But it is in good hands now.

Long side panel is going out, too rusty and too much dents. [ATTACH]4519[/Attach] [ATTACH]4520[/Attach]
Posted by: vintagevw - 06 June 2010 21:31:33
Also the right side panel needed to be replaced.
The only problem, they don't make 1967 panels cause it haves a diffrent feulcappressing, and the lock is on the feultank.
But, I found a NOS one! :beer: [ATTACH]4521[/Attach] [ATTACH]4522[/Attach] [ATTACH]4523[/Attach] [ATTACH]4524[/Attach] [ATTACH]4525[/Attach]

As the bus came from Austria it was full of tar inside the wheelarches and everywhere underneath!
About one millimeter of tar everywhere underneath! :x
A hell of a job to remove this, believe me!

Thanks!
I removed the paint and bondo of the roof for sandblasting.
The rear side is cleaned now and haves no tar and grease anymore, so a dry bus! :lol:
The roof needed small welding on 2 places.

And more.
I heated the top rubber so it can take his place.
Heat it up very hot while door is closed and let it cooling after it.
Great result!. :wink:
I screwed the long side trim on a wooden part so it wont bend while polishing. [ATTACH]5869[/Attach] [ATTACH]5870[/Attach] [ATTACH]5871[/Attach] [ATTACH]5872[/Attach] [ATTACH]5873[/Attach] [ATTACH]5874[/Attach]
