Hi Guys

about a month ago my father received a gift from a friend
who had no place for it anymore..... it was left in a open barn for about nineteen years .....
what my father got?

yes a DKW MUNGA !!!!!

by this time we tought it was still a good car
but even the bonnet couldn't be opened because of rusty hinges.... it took 3 hours to open it ...
after that it took us some clean fuel ,two batterys and a twist of the key and in a minute
the RRRRRROARRRRing RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRtengteng tengteng (it"s a two stroke engine )
so the engine was good (only the clutch is not working )
then we started to dismantle the Munga , the body was repeared a few times with bad skin over skin repear
underneath the (new) skin was nothing but rust ....and a emblem

the bottem was even worse so we cut it completely out and then we start the rebuild
here some pic's
the right front corner

the left side with new beams

the right side again

the rear left corner

the homemade new wing /skin

and in it's place


now you know where my free time went in .....
I'll keep you informed
kind regards

Wow!Usually many people would even bother with a car in condition like that. Almost like a Flintstones' car.
Good luck with the project! Keep us posted, please!

hello You all

it's been a while that I visited this Forum ..........had some other things to do

it's about two years now that we own the Munga

it was early this summer


I hope to show you some more pic's in the nearby future

It is very impressive what you've done with it!

yesterday it was nice weather and My dad made a picture of the Munga and send it to me

so the Munga is NOW in this condition
