Workshop update.

With a New Year we also started with new cars. After finishing the 21 window samba (except for the tranny that’s gone to rebuild) Koen started another major project. The Westfalia SO34 Flip seat top resto…

Back from the paint shop and untouched since it needs complete re-assembling… it looks like a space ship still from the front…:)

and even interior is all out, paint job was in and out!

on the other side of the workshop we started detailling the magic original mint condition 1955 stratos silver ragtop, we had to take of one fender to take out some old parking dents, not an easy task on an all original car!

Meanwhile we decided to keep the period covers on the seats, as we like too much, too much fifty’s, we can’t get enough of this! But we will probably never know how the nice interior looks under it! well maybe the next owner/caretaker will decide to remove…

after this stratos a complete nice original 53 oval in glossy black first paint lines up for detail… Yes, we’re your source for real early collectables!

The Bleu and white 65 samba was finished, but @ testing seems the tranny gavesome troubles, so back in the shop and tranny out and away for rebuild…

and finally also Nicolas and his friends thought it was about time to wash and detail their scale bus… the real world…. in scale…

The last, the best?

Last 2011 arrivals been extreme cool…. wowh, yesterday we had several large shipments of parts came in by truck and one more conatiner containing three of the coolest cars we could get our hands on in 2011…

1963 Turqoise over White, stunning Kombi!

What can I say? Nothing at all, as my mouth stills waters too hard when I look at it, extreme cool and good original bus, will be hard to let this one go! But a buyer is born, we have to find him, is it Your name written in the stars to be unitd with this cool set of wheels? They don’t come any better!

Even better, 1970 Westy bay, rock solid, unbelievable! All original, older repaint, that’s it! Even Pascal was drooling all afternoon around it, and before he’s pleased with a car it must be an 11! Pascal, back to your desk, at once!

if we say rock solid, we mean rock solid, this is original paint!….

Last but not least, Ladies and Gentleman here’s the Beast! The Beast finally came home….

1958 A coupe with a 35 year back yard treatment in Passadena California. The best patina money can buy… don’t come to ask if I will restore this car, I will spit!

You can take the Bob out of the Punk, but not the Punk out of Bob! Punk is not death!

Wowh, I do love my new baby! Maybe I don’t clean the windows on this one!

The best oval ragtop in the world?

Last saturday we finally picked up last two cars from a large lot we bought lightyears ago, but never could finish to get them home due always to busy… well everything now came to an end, and we always “end ” in beauty and style….

1958 Original 1958 project and a 1955 stratos absolute first paint all original ragtop…

The 58 is pretty cool, I just love it, needs a fender and a taillight, but nothing we don’t have I suppose, or buy it outright, its cheap!

Ladies and the Gentlemen, dear audience and trusty fans of BBT blog, may I present You the probably best conserved, most stunning original and absolutly all original 1955 Stratos silver oval window ragtop of the entire planet earth and all streets in its neigbourhood… and far beyond…

original paint, original everything, unbelievable, a recent “garage” find in downtown Amsterdam… see how very well the headliner and interior survived…

… or the all original ragtop cover….

ever seen a time wrap like this? pretty amazing huh…. well the story didn’t end yet, as there is also some period books and info, and even a small picture book, containing all early travels, see the little stools in the picture? Believe me or not but they’re still in the front trunk!

another detail, original white wall tyres on the car do come along with this cutie…. it just don’t stop… what you want to know about original?

If this over the moon time wrap is for sale???? might be, altough You will have to price it up for yourself….
