Just purchased a 1980 G in bad body, interior and engine shape but chassis and drivetrain is ok. The project idea is disassemble all and restore it from zero, and prepare it simmilar to the Entdecker G`s. Final destination: South America Roundtrip next year. Let´s start !!

Thank you. I will see the real rust when start the sand blasting. Hope would be better than yours when you started.

I guess it will be. From your profile i can see that you are located in Venezuela, so I assume that you will not have the same rust issues as I had because of salted winterroads here in Norway. Anyway best of luck with yor w460!
