My 74 Autovilla back from the bodyshop

My 74 Jurgens Autovilla has been at the bodyshop for the last few months, having some rust repaired and new paint. Earlier she was with a caravan builder having frame rot sorted out.

We debated for a long time whether to keep the original Jurgens colour scheme or whether to go for a custom colour combo. My wife had the deciding vote and said we should go with my idea of Jurgens khaki over dark olive green.

We're very happy with the result!







With hubcaps:


In the meantime I've had my engine builder doing a type4 with 96mm Keith Black pistons, Web 86 cam and waterboxer fuel injection, which he reckons will be good for 100hp. She's off to have the new engine installed this weekend.
