CREWSADER

[splitt57]

Thought i would everyone know what i've been up to the last year, been busy down my lock-up working on my 1959 swedish crewcab, It's a special order truck because the cab door is firstly on the left hand side and also the door is suicide mounted.When i originally bought it i thought it only needed a little work before it was back on the road.
Boy, was i wrong, when i started digging i found more and more bad points, and have ended up doing a full resto.

Shouldn't be long now!!!
I also just found out what the sticker says, that is on the rear dropgate.
Roughly translated it means
"anticipating now, nobody knows how old one volkswagen can become"
I like it
