Thanks 🙂
Yeah the compliance plate says 1970 but I think its a '69 model judging by the chassis number.
More pics soon

it's a 70 if that's the decklid it came with 🙂

I'm not sure whether the decklid is original. I assumed that the previous owner put on that decklid to get more cooling happening when they put in the 1641.

Mine was originally reg'd as a 1970 but was later told it was built in 1969 and it has the same decklid as *did*'s.

Finally got a hold of a set of bolts (from Wolfsburg in Essendon) to put on my mags. 14x6's (205's) on the front, 14x7's (225's) on the back.
Hehe wide and low.

Yup, I really do need some wide guards to make it legal I think.

Wide guards on!
Did get a set in the right colour, but they were to suit a superbug, or at least a later bug, not exactly sure.

It didn't look good at all without the bumpers, but i like it now because it looks slightly more original.

BTW, the NSW number plates aren't valid, its just so i can go for a spin around the block.
