Pick up a Pickup

When you buy a car in the swiss, i think its a Must that the Landscape has to look like above!

In front of my Passat you see a Renault R8 Gordini,

its the owner of the pickup i`ve to pick up.......

we meet us close to the highway i`ve to follow him tho his nice farm.

the first time i saw the "Garage Fischer"-special personally, not only from pics

what the hell is this????
i dont know a lot but as far as i know it was build in the late 50`s or early 60`s
by a coachbuilder named Fischer, they build 5 pcs.
The pickup looks similar the the Beutler pickup that was build in the same time.
In my VW history i saw ony 1 of them (Oval based beutler) in the last 18 years.
I`ve also the original paperwork to the car, it says: Lieferwagen Kabine mit Brücke.
That means, delivery van, single cab with loading area.

by the way, those car was last driven in 1971, more than 36 years ago.....

the seller said:
"sorry the wheels are not correct, the original ones are missing"
i said: no matter.....

at home afer a 300 km ride

original Oval dash

removeable shortend rear W-decklid

touring club swiss

with a narrowed adjustable beam it would look mmmuuuahhahhh......

T 2a Update

Inside:

at the pasenger / cargo ariea i removed the old panels (see above)

an changed them against "new" ones.

Dit i say new, ok, i mean used ones from a junk yard bus.

I spend arround 13.- Euro for a can color so they look now pretty good.

Also the wood trim gets a new paint.

a realy cheap "upholstery-job"

Outside:
Few weeks ago i found a pair of Talbot Berlin mirrows on a swapmeet.
15.- Euro for the pair, i cant say no......

At the back.......
or whats going on behind the engine decklid....

Since few months i look for some engine parts to build a 1776 Typ 1
I`ve a new case, chrank, piston /cylinder an so on but some parts are still missing.
So i checked few internet sides for parts.
At one day i found a very small add: 1600 356 engine price: ???? €
5 minutes later after a phone call with the seller i was sitting in my car to pick up the engine.
The price was realy good, so i think i cant go wrong with this deal.

First i tought, it should go in to my 56 Oval but why not try to put it in the bus?
Some parts i had to change ore bulid
the generater is a small 6 Volt so i had to look for a 12 Volt
I searched 2 months for one, finaly i bought a compleet VW industial engine to get a 90mm generater with 12 Volt.
The Starter now is a 6 Volt version to match to the flywheel.
Also i had to build a adapter from the 356 engine to the T2a engine cross beam.
Finaly all fitts.
I still have to do some adjustment on the 32 NDIX carbs but hopefully they will work soon.
