Congratulations!
You've learned how to post pictures!
That's a beautiful Split that you have there, and you probably have a lot of fun by driving it every day!

Very nice car and very collectible. Enjoy the envy of all the the other beetle drivers while you drive it.

It is registered and roadworthy it took a long time to do. So before you tell me it is rubbish, I am going to restore it. I have another split body and a complete 1951 splitwindow that I bought in Namibia so I do have enough spares.

I've seen that car in Real life... Very nice. But just just tell me, it's got flat wheel caps and no Shema's? Why ?

The semaphores are still there it is covered with filler thats why I asked on a previous post what is the best way to remove the filler. I bought it with four hole drums.
