With the permission of my friend Joaquim, I´ll post here some photos of the rebuild of his '51 Split. He bought it about one year ago and decided to rebuilt it to go to Hessisch were it won 1st place in his category 8) Hope you enjoy it. :wink: Joao How it was before [img]https://img179.imageshack.us/img179/7651/dscf4285abn0.jpg[/img]

Very nice car. I had a good look at this at Hessisch. I love those old portuguese '3D' number plates. It makes your eyes go funny looking at them!

I saw this car at Hessisch also, and was attracted to it because I own a Bordeaux Red '50 Sunroof. Back at BBT after the Hessisch event, I talked to Joaquim for quite a while about his trip. Amazing! He was very adamant about driving that split. I did not realize that the resto was so extensive.
