I didn't have time to post this before I left to go to Oregon but here is the '67 I bought last Saturday. I got it home, threw it in the driveway and then jumped on an airplane. Anyway here it is....

Got the car washed this morning and stuffed into the garage. I'll just use this thread to show progress as I get this thing road-worthy. Here's some shots of where it will spend some time receiving some much-needed love.

So I went and bought some Mequiar's Rubbing Compound and started working on polishing out the old oxidized paint. The pictures kinda speak for themselves.

Here's half of the hood done. It's not a crazy difference but you can (hopefully) see the difference.

The weatherstripping in the car is SHOT! I will be pulling all of the glass out of the car and replacing all of the gaskets. I have to be extremely careful as all of the glass is original and in good shape.

That IS pretty nice.
Save the aluminum trim, and get some for the front. A fully dressed VW is a happy VW, and it came with it.
Don't go the cheap route with plain black. Looks like you have the other three sets, and the rubber with the channel for it is no more expensive. The petina while retaining all of it's original doo-dads and charms adds big to the overall effect.

I pulled the back glass window out of the car today and cleaned up both pieces on the kitchen table (thanks honey). They are by no means perfect, but they're OG and in pretty darn good shape. Just cleaning them up made a huge difference. I ordered new rubbers and metal trim from WW today also.

It's the front one that's a bitch.

Some nice detailing and it'll be a nice little car. Careworn but clean as a bell will be nice.

I had the day off today so I got the interior gutted out of the car. Only a couple very small spots of rust in the back end of the pans. I'll probably address this later. They are definitely good enough for a driver and good enough for now.

I got the seats stripped down also. I will have the frames sand blasted and painted and then on with new upholstery. There must have been a "heavy hauler" that owned this car at one point. The driver's side seat back is mutilated. I've never seen one so busted up. The scary part is, it has been repaired once before and even the welded repairs broke! My luck never works this way but, I had a '65/'66 seat in my '63 when I bought it. It is the wrong seat for the '63 so I just kinda put that seat aside, not really knowing what I was going to do with one seat. Well when I saw this seat and how bad it was, I thought "Oh great! Now I've gotta find a one-year-only seat!". And then, I started looking at it a little closer and I realized that the broken/bent frame of this seat is removable and is completely interchangable with that extra seat I have. SCORE!

Before you go making a color decision, I think I have a brand new set of brick red and white door panels that would fit. Might be better than "cheapest available" basic black that's been done to death.
Then you could go with red seat covers and the interior would really been a cut above.
I paid $40 for the door panels. It's a complete set of four.

Remember, look on The Samba for stuff, too. I got all of my interior in Herbie previously-owned-but-new-in-the-box.
