A visit to the wizard




Getting the oportunity to visit the garage now restoring Fürstens 51 convertible, everything else had to pass this wednesday night. The man in charge, Thomas, was some years back the man behind some of Norway and Europes finest and most radical VW's. I have never seen these cars alive, but they are displayed in all my old magazines at home. The last years he has been building custom cars and bikes for a living in California. I was not sure what to expect, as he is about to unpack his tools and just moved back. As a "warm up" project he has taken on a rusted 51 vert, and the details and skills are truly amazing. Quite fun to see that skilled work like this can be performed in Norway as well as "over there", displayed on Discoverychannel. The vert pictures are showed in our other blog, but he had me drooling over his own projects, and an amazing garage atmosphere. Thank you for a great eveneing Thomas!
