Mark, What is your plan for the original data plates on the glove compartment. The should be solid brass and I learned a way to make the look brand new with black paint and sandpaper. Check out my thread and it may help you a little when you do your frame off...
Mark, I purchase a complete harness for my '42 GPW and it had several wires crossed and the instructions had several mistakes. I suggest you used the wiring diagrams in the TM's.
Welcome Robby, I concentrate on the WW2 stuff also. I have restored a WC-51 and Ford GPW and am now working on a Ben Hur trailer. Look forward to seeing some of you stuff.
Having restored a 1942 GPW that was in fair condition I can say that there will be many areas you will need to sink money into. That being the case I would not go beyond the $800 to $1,000. Pay particular attention to the engine block, transmission and front axle and diff. Good luck.
Went to book a cabin for the Rally today and the cabin that Gerhard and I have been sharing for the last 5 years was already booked. Had to settle on Wolf Den 4. :-|
