Speedster Body has arrived | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

Hello Guys,

My Speedster body has just arrived! It's a beautiful aquamarine metallic

and it'll be ready sometime around October of this year.

Here are some pictures of my visit to Vintage Motorcars.

Enjoy,

Blasco

Vintage Motorcars.

This is the body of my future Speedster.

It'll look something like this when it's done.

There is a high demand for these cars. Right now, the wait time is twenty-two months.

VW pans are piling up.

I think I can pull a few more ponies out of this engine!

Long assembly line.

Cool color!

nice pics, thanks

Mine is the same color. It never fails to get compliments. My build time in 2019 was 4 months. Anna very kindly just sent me some touch up paint. Suggest not gluing down the carpet mats. Mine got wet, but are OK. Coco Mats and rubber floor mats protect well. The square weave mats can be saved for show when needed. Enjoy!

Great pictures. thanks for the tour.

Does anyone know if Greg is still using the steel welded frame superstructure mounted to the pan that Kirk used to add?

Wonder if they will finally run out of donor beetle's to get the pans they need?
