Thank you for posting the photos.
The first one is quite famous in various web platforms  

The German translation is actually quite good, no reason to worry.

Regarding the original color, I cannot help. However, on:
http://www.tempo-dienst.de/typreferenten.html
there is a listing of knowledgable Tempo enthusiasts,

Hi Dan,

I see you are working hard on your Matador, you are even further than I am!
Are you already working on the platform?

Best regards!
Wilko

Yes Wilko, my friend Peter who has a Matador also is building it for me.

We used all the pieces you sent me, though mine has a short chassis, so for some of the design I used Eric's pictures from America.

They were built from Jarrah in Perth, which is a beautiful but heavy hard wood, I'll see it first on Friday and will post photo's

Craig

I got married on Saturday, here is a photo of my car and my wifes VW

Congratulations Craig!

Some photos of the platform so far.

Mine had a shorter chassis than the one you removed the parts from Wilko, it also has mudguards that are 50mm narrower.

more pictures of tray






and finally all together

Really great job! Congratulations!

Thank you for sharing the great photos

Great news. A really great job and I'm sure it was a sensation at Day of the VW. Sadly I was away and couldn't attend.
P

you will have to pop over and have a look Paul.

I'll be heading to Germany over Christmas though, so some time in the new year we'll have to catch up.

Hello Craig,
Realy a phantastic work ! Congratulation from me too !
Sorry with the rivets !
Norbert

Thanks Norbert,

I found acceptable rivets online




I had to cut the cap off the back of them and I still need to paint them, but they are within 1mm of the original rivets i replaced so i am quite happy.

Here is a link to the VW clubs of Western Australia's magazine with my Matador in in.
Any mistakes in the history of the Tempo company are completely mine, if there is any information that I have given Ray that is incorrect please tell me so I can correct it.

Hi Craig,
that was a very good job and a phantastic story!
I have recently got exactly the same car/van and wish I could be able to restore that well and quick!
Find some photos of my Matador 50 on my introduction.
