A 62 sunroof rolls out.
Well, there just never seem to be enough hours in the day. A belated Happy New Year to all, and we hope that your Volkswagen restorations continue a pace this year. Perhaps we’ll see you rolling in the spring. And, talking of restorations, we have just completed this 1962 Golde Sunroof Beetle, and having watched it from the initial stages to completion last week, I must say – what a beauty she is and I’d love to have her in my garage.
Here she was in a sorry state when first being assessed at the workshops…

Halfway through – the body needed a lot of work in all the usual Beetle places, as well as two new heater channels…

As well as the chassis and floorpans completely restoring –

Here she is, interior freshly done, headlining and refurbished Golde sunroof installed,

with completely rebuilt engine, fresh year correct paint etc etc. Like having a new 1962 VW Beetle straight from the factory:

And rolled out the doors for the first time fully assembled, and ready to go!

And of course, to record her in all her glory, yours truly was there with the video camera. Listen to that engine, purring like a contented cat! Sweet.
Now, there’s lots more happening, so stay tuned. I promise the next update won’t be so long in coming.
For now, stay safe on the road, best regards from all at Vintage Vans.
