Re: Betty the Oval - Donovan D - ex-MINCE
Slowly want to start getting back into this.
I noticed recently that I have no internals for the door. If anyone has, please let me know.

They should be the same, but want to make sure if they will fit.
You may even have split doors.........

Re: Betty the Oval - Donovan D - ex-MINCE
Just trying to be funny......
The Parts I have are 56, so they should be the same, but just want to make sure.
Will look this weekend, and post photos of what I have.
Still have 2 sets of door latches as well, but will post what I have.

Re: Betty the Oval - Donovan D - ex-MINCE
These doors also need a lot of work
The one door has been welded on the inside. I do have the glass but no internals.

Re: Betty the Oval - Donovan D - ex-MINCE
This has again been put on hold.
Really got stuck into the oval over December holidays, it lasted about a week.
Other priorities took over again. The front end of the kombi is also sagging which I need to look at.
I got a donor beetle shortly after getting the oval, and the poor donor has been standing outside for quite a while now.
Last weekend I decided to start cutting all the panels I might need for the oval before it faces another winter.
My father also made a tool to open the gutters, which works a treat. Will take a pic of the actual tool, its in one of the VW books and was used in the factory.
Couple of pics of the donor beetle getting the chop.
