Updates on 62 RHD Notch...

I spent a few hours cleaning it up yesterday to get all the leaves and dirt
out of the car to see how much work it would really need. I started to
consider to build this car seeing as it is not a total basket case. It is alot
of work and more then I have ever tackled.

Latest news, talked with BKC Prez, Scott Jones this morning and he is
definitely interested in buying the car. He is going to let me know by
Friday if he can get up the funds. He will be building the car as a GL and
will join the club as well. We'll see what happens later this week

So if no one buys it it will probaby become a long term GL project.

In the meantime, I am getting closer to purchasing my brothers 69 Notch
which is a driver with 1776 T1. All it needs is a set of Porsche wheels and
it will be GL ready. It wont be a show car, but it will be a very nice driver
for now while I am building/finishing my 61 Ragtop Street/strip Car

I would like to see Scott get the car. Not only would he do a fine job with it (dude can weld), but we would have converted a BK guy to a VKG guy. That is worth miles of smack talking

Does the 69 notch have disc brakes? The VKG Prez. needs a VKG car.

Yes the 69 Notch has disc in the front and drums in the rear. I will most
like redrill everything for now to the Porsche pattern and get some nice
17" wheels to get it going

Notchs are cool!

Granted that one does look like a lot of work to get it nice.

... What is the story on the '58 rag?

The wife and kids are gone for two weeks so i can get back to VW work in peace!

Notchs are way cool!!! I really want to keep this Notch and have it as
a long term project plus buy my brothers Notch as a daily driver until it
is finished. We will see what happens and whether or not Scott buys it.

The 58 Rag just got sold on Sunday and the Super was sold on Wed.
I bought a 61 Rag in much better condition to replace the 58. i will
hopefully have the 61 ready for the fall show season

I don't think Scott will go for the $2000-$2500 range for the car after talking with him tonight. He knows it is RHD but having no wheels or engine coupled with the rust repair needed he thinks the price is out of the range he is looking for.
Sure would like to get him into a GL car before he goes for a Fridolin. I will help him look for one. He made me a killer deal on a 66 Beetle (I will finish for my daughter). It's a total pan off resto, just got a crapy prep/paint job, that pissed the owner off so he pulled it from the shop and bought another car. Everything but and engine is there and it is all new stuff. It will make a great first car for her, It's a great 20/20 car (looks great 20 feet away or at 20 MPH).

well it looks like Scott (BK Prez) found another Notch to go GL with so that
left me with the 62 still. The car has been on the Samba for a week now and
I just struck a deal to trade the 62 Notch for a really nice restoration
(body & Paint) on my new 61 Ragtop. This will save me a ton of money and
get with light years ahead so that I can get this car done and on the road.

Now I will have more resources to build my brothers Notch as a GL. I will
hopefully have it in my possession very shortly. I guess we will just have to
have 2 GL Notches in the club

[vujade]

well no one has bought the 62 yet, so I have been working on a deal
to get the restoration work done on it and turn it into a resto-GL car

Hopefully I will have all the details nailed down on it soon

Resto-GL?
Is that a cross between a BK and VKG car?

Sort of, but not really. Its sort of what I call those GL's that were
all at bug jam last year. They retain their classicness (if thats even
a word), but they have all the underpinnings of a GL car. I cant see
giving a 62 RHD the full on shaved chrome/monochromatic paint scheme
look.

[NO_H2O]

I agree. I think that is why those guy's from Orlando didn't jump into the VKG (trim rule at that time was painted or shaved).
