The indicators on the front dont appear original, so probably had some enhancements over the years.

its had a new front clip probably due to being in an accident....
couldn't get lowlight fronts until recently, so obviously was a while ago that it happened.

good price for an early ute and the front looks like its just had an indicator upgrade as the grill is still the early one with rounded edges and the wipers still original as later bays sweep in the other direction

26.5 years ago when I brought Beasty he had low light indicators ,I upgraded to Hella aftermarket Indicators and fitted them in the most visible position.The low light mounting recesses were plated over. The Tail lights are also upgrades that replaced the original oval lights

I edited the description after a bloke looked at the vehicle on Saturday! I told him that it was sold to me from a car yard as a 1971 model he said ,if the chassis no. said 69 it was a 69!!!He went on to say that he had heard,some 69/70s upgraded to 71 running gear were sold as commercial vehicles, the only thing they didn't have were power brakes , which mine hasn't!!! Anyone come across a vehicle like this ?

Does your 69 dc have disc or drum front brakes?
Klaus Custom Title Time!

drum but its a common upgrade to disc as long as you change m/cyl or remove residual valve from original m/cyl if it is under the arch and you should really put a 2lb residual valve in line to stop the pistons in the calipers from sliding back out and not just clearing the disc so you have a good pedal.
and the factory bias valve which is attached to the chassis but you can live without it 🙂

Just out of interest,where is the residual valve located? Looked in the workshop manual and couldn't see it!

Screwed into the master cylinder, a hex fitting that the brake line screws into.

Thanks, I had a look ,definitely haven't got one! But I guess that if it is genuine VW upgrade it wouldn't!

I ended up re-registering for another 6 months and I am now considering fixing the area of problem rust, in order to get a Roadworthy Certificate so I can sell registered.This would mean the price would have to go up to $10,000-$10,500 at least ! Does anyone have any thoughts on the subject?
