my sister one day a few months ago and she said i need a hand to get this vw has to b today" as she was in a panic and couldnt get it out of shed"
as she only had that day to get it as the owner over 90 was going to ring the scrap metal place to pick it up as she needed to empty garage her
husband purchased it new in 55 its had a respray in it life and a few things i dont think are right but here are the pics
Awesome!

not sure if some of thoses accesories are original factory options though
Thats nice, get rid of the taillight back to original ones, slam an roll
What's the plans?

Awesome ride, some great period accessories, very cool - if you get sick of any of them let me know 
agree leave everything as it is it is very special.

looks like it may have some serious miles on it, well loved at some point
leave as is, return lights to factory = uber cool
KKEWL!
WOW!
give him a light clean & WD and oil every moving part before you try and open them , quarter window , doors , cables levers , door handle , grease
suspension, hand brake cables etc. then give ALL mechanic a good look at . Most important thing don't start pulling him apart.
leave those funky tail light as is .
