Found at the VW nationals, 25th May 08.

Was stripped back in 2001. All the parts were placed in the car. It sat under a tiny carport in the southern highlands for the next 7 years.

I wish the last owner had done something more to it. 🙄 I'm pleased to see it's finally moved. What's in store for it DD?

Decklid was totally rusted off at the bottom. The car came with a donor lid, so the bottom was replaced. I then blended the lower paint so it now looks un-touched.

Interior is all original.

Thanks to Kimm from Indian who donated the missing VW bonnet emblem.

Here's a few more of Dr Karl.

Tucked in...

Dr Karl and a couple of hoods

Dr Karl celebrating rattiness - you can really see the hard work that Damo's done on that rear lid matching up the old, and older paint. Top job.

You have done a great job looks cool,i have two questions im guessing you had to get a blue slip did you have any trouble with getting it passed with only semaphores and how did you get to keep the old plates,im just wondering about the blinkers because im selling my 58 and it only has the trafficators cheers shane.

That is just awesome. I looked at this car at the Nats and thought it had potential but to see it back on the road in a month is unreal. Makes me look slack as I'm still trying to change engines after 3 months.

Yeah, had to pass a blue slip. Being that the semaphores are a standard item, as long as they work, they cant knock them back.

The plates, cant give away all my secrets.😉

Thanks mate. I actually didn't relise it was only a month. I was trying for the lawn bowling cruise actually. Worked till 4am sunday morning, then back up early and at it again. When people started to arrive it still hadn't been started and i was cranky and tired! The test drive was actually the cruise!😂
