1958 Kombi
Just looking through some old pics and came across these. The blue/white 58 with semaphors was a 4 year project to restore, and I had the privelage of
watching it grow from shell up. My mate Patrick (owner) actually had to cut half the front section out and then refabricated the VW logo himself. He
even made a set of Dollies to build the battery holder the same as it would have been originally with the half circles. He still has the original
engine but has replaced in Kombi with a 1200. I actually entered it in the VW Nationals for him in 95 (I think). It came 2nd

Do remember talking with the guy on the day. Inside at that stage was pretty rough and was filled with heaps of junk (mainly VW parts). Must still be
a one off. BTW you have done a very nice job Silver

Factory Built

they are Aussie only and production numbers of 190 or so makes it one of the rarest VWs ever

Well if I had not been on this forum and seen Silverson the road. I would have said I had seen two lol
But it appears I have just seen the same one in two paint schemes. They most certainly are rare and huge inside (like a Tardis)

I must say, you have done a fantastic job. I love yur choice of colour scheme. And it certainly does not looked as battered inside as when I saw it.

Thanks, but that was 6 years ago and since then the poor thing has worked mostly everyday and has experienced some misadventures
It is being restored again this year and I am sure I will retain the colours
This is now
