Burried alive

Last december a rare beast saw daylight for the first time in 44years.
It was a 1953 15 window hardtop samba deluxe, this had been burried in a danish gravel pit back in 1967.
Some good friends of mine had heard rumors of this car and then the hunt was on. And last december the had some heavy machinery help them dig it out, and here are the remains. Despite the many years burried it isn´t to rusty, but the fact that the bus was covered with big rocks, before covered in soil, they has made some serious damage to the body.
Rumors are this might will be rebuild.

Breaking point

At our trip to the US back in the fall I stumpled over a complete rear set of 356A brakes at a very good price.
So while we drove around with them in the trunk some good friends turned up with the missing front pieces. So while they were shipped to me the rear ones came home in my luagage.

And after some work all wheel cylindres were restored and there were new lining on the brake shoes.

The front ones is allready installed on the oval and the rear ones goes on a restored gearbox that I have lying, and it will be going in the oval in a couple of years.

Webasto winddeflector

I recently found one of these Webasto winddeflectors. I had the Aeroflex one allready but I thought this was more cool, and it´s always in the car unlike the Aeroflex that you have to have inside the car when it´s not in use, or lying in the garage.
Biggest issue with the Webasto was drilling the holes in the roof, hey I did it.

If you look in the pictures you might noticed that I also added a Hella fan. This one was found with a homemade bracket so it mounts behind the rearview mirror, I guess some clever guy made it back in the days as he wasn´t happy with the suction cup mount.

Returning better than ever!

Rememeber Michael Berg´s nice 54 looker that got chrashed on the way to the SCC event in Norway 2 years ago?
It´s now returning maybe even better than it was before, I know of atleast one improvent/upgrade that has been done to this lovely car.
Watch out it will soon be at a show near you.
