He also occasionally posts photos of the car and restoration on FB, just a few weeks ago he got the original engine running and posted the video.

Thank you Gerard! Always something new to learn; did not know the "Austrian VW" was the initial name.

The "Authenticity Police" Love it!

Hard to tell of course but this "customized" body strikes me as once being a Gmund. The profile shape of the body and the rear wheel arch gives me this impression. Anyone else seeing this? Great stuff guys!

Glockner is the name of the mountains around Gmund
