I have dreamt about building a hebmuller for years and final decided to go for it.I found an early beetle for sale with ribbed doors and semaphores .It was in rough shape and a baja so it would be perfect to cut up

Exclamation That's a great job going on there... The neck thing sounds horrible, I hope it gets better and doesn't put the mockers on the build (although I'm sure it's down the list of priorities, somewhat!)

Blimey...are you sure you didn't work for Hebmuller in a previous life? Laughing

Fantastic workmanship, I'm loving it. Hope you recover from your op quickly as I for one can't wait to watch this project unfold.
