  1. Today I visited an old friend of mine whom I hadn't seen for over 25 years. Back in the day he was kind of a celebrity in the #aircooled vintage #Volkswagen scene of Germany, dealing rare parts for VW bugs and buses.

    At his place, I found him crawled halfway into the engine compartment of this beautiful old T1 bus, cursing. The engine had just given up. Together we diagnosed the fault and repaired the bus.

    Strange how some things just never change… 🤭

  3. Usually I tag old VWs with the word 'survivor', but these two seem too far gone—especially the black one which has large rust holes in the roof.

  5. I stumbled into #aircooled heaven today. 😻

    It all started with some vintage VWs parked in a lot next to the road. When I stopped to take a photo, I found more cars which finally led me to the workshop of C.S. Beetle Service, a small company specialised in aircooled VWs.

    Konstantinos, one of the mechanics, gave me a tour around the workshop, where several VWs are given a new life. I was so excited I forgot to take some pictures inside …

  9. Today I was invited for a guided tour in a vocational school in the #Stuttgart area. They had a lot of Mercedes-Benzes and Audis and even Porsches (including an insane 911 GT3 race car) that are used for the practical training of apprentice automotive technicians.

    This car here however was my absolute favourite. 🤩

  11. Look at that, what a beauty! 😍

    From what I can tell, this is a beautifully restored 1965 model (larger windows but still has the small light housing on the engine lid).

    And note the license plate: It ends with an “E”, indicating the flat-four “boxer” engine was replaced with a modern electric drive.

  13. I've replaced this mirror/light three times over the years, and each new reproduction part seems to be a bad copy of the last copy. Out of the box, the parts don't even snap together. Admittedly, it was a crappy design to begin with. I am tempted to get out my soldering iron and make it more reliable.

  15. #Volkswagen #T2 #Pritsche #pickup (Mid-1970s), now retired on the Greek island #Evia #Euboea. The chassis is in reasonably good shape with mostly minor rust issues, making this car a great candidate for restoration. 🥰
