Any comments , advice or help with these two would be great. I think they are 57 & 54 models going by the chassis numbers....

3 days of hard slog including the removal of 2 ute & trailer loads of timber from inside both them , they were finally removed.

No rust in the brown one, but the blue/green one has a bit in the front of the cabin. Not much considering they have been sitting this way since 1975 or there abouts. Will post more pic's in readers rides .

Geez they look pretty solid too! They'd have to be the best barn finds I have seen for along time.
If it's not in a Vee Dub I'm not going!

Just realised where the rest were. Those engines look quite good. Are you gonna restore them or put a larger donk in? I cant believe how clean they both look for the amount of time they have stood!

A few more pics.
I have loaded more pic's at a new thread in members rides.
I am still utterly astounded how good a condition these 2 vehicles are in after being used as a timber yard for the best part of 33 years .

they look like some i seen on a TV show, uno one of those reno gardening, pet rescue shows , it had old Kombis stuck down the back yard. Not sure if it as their yard or the neighbors who was being filmed.🤪maybe not them at all🤪😂🤪

These little beauties were found because the house is for sale.
It is very much like a hoarders paradise or a garbage tip, depending on your point of view.
You would knock the house down & start again, factoring in 100k or so to clear up the garbage inside & outside the house.
The only other thing recognisable in the yard among the old washing machines & assorted crap is a early 50's skoda bonnet.
Have tracked the chassis numbers down via samba.com as the plates on the brown one have been removed.
It seems to fall under the december 57 production run but anything is possible !
