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

I have been nothing but honest through the whole process.
I don't mean to rub anyone's nose in it, just telling it how it played out.
After having been at the pointy end of new VW sales for the past few years, it's really refreshing to chat with fans of the product who aren't only interested in "my best price" when their trying to buy(steal) one from me.
Thanks Bob.
And yes it will go towards getting the 57 back on the road. Just pulled the engine and fuel tank out today, turns out the tank is 1/3 full of rust/crusty goodness.
Is the easiest way out of this replacing it with a Bay unit? Or perhaps a custom Stainless jobbie?

Any suggestions folks?❓

The Barndoor has gone to a good home, and I believe is being restored currently. I hopeto trailer the 57 to the next get-together, anyone have any ideas when and where that might be??
