ZIGGY the '85 breadvan aka my little rust bucket

Featured Replies

Hi guys

Just to introduce myself.. I am a massive obsessive compulsive dubber and seem to acquire the dubs no-one loves any more..I attempt to fix and paint (usually make matters worse) but at least i try haha

Heres ziggy my massive project at the mo

He is so rusty..theres a valve stuck in the engine as well.. Wires and pipes in the engine have been cut he needs a good overhaul so I'm taking him apart to practice my mechanical skills and learning to weld on that bad boy!

Poor ziggy

I'll update as I go but it will be a long tiring process I'm sure

Heres some pics

hahaha seems to be the case.. I'm hoping ziggys rust looks worse then it is..weld him, Sandblast him and give him a good paint as well as new bits and hopefully he will perk up and be the good old vw he used to be
