Yes this was a very lucky find
I did a transmission for a friend`s Square back and they had some trouble setting the Gear lever after reasembly of all
Eventually took a drive out to them with the wive and to help set thing up then on the way home wive said I actually like that car shape. I always liked the Squaries and here was my chance to try and acoure one
Made a lot of calls in the next 2 days and found 4 candidates to go view ,As they are far and few I wasted no time
This was the last one I had a look at and the price and everything was RIGHT
And the aded bonus was the sun roof
I have only seen 2 with sunroofs Elvis and one in a junk yard my entire VW history
Trying to name Elvis we threw some names out and could not decide,then she said no matter what I am going to Rock and Roll in him
Then the Ideas started flowing ,Wive likes Elvis`s music and said she will Rock and roll in him
There and Then Elvis was Born
When I bought Elvis had a 2L Type 4 in I sold it and kept a 127 Type 4 1800 motor for The Project sieeng the 127 is brand new.
Luckily have all the side wide beadings that is more scares as Chicken teeth that will be repaired and all bumpers and chrome work will be re cromed
Dough Lyle has helped me a stack by organising the front ,Back and side back window rubbers with te chrome moulding in for Elvis
I was very lucky to retrieve all the mechanical spares for the Sunroof from the one that was in the Junk yard as the Gear and cables were all broken in Elvis`s sunroof
I am looking at maybe trying to get a set of 17" BRM rims for Elvis but still have to shop around to try and find a supplier who can ship to South Africa Any one got some leads for me
Well that is my Essay about Elvis
Will hopefully start assembling in the next vew months and collect some more parts
