Finally we have our first bug, I believe it's a 1967 going from the the number configuration and the numbers matching on the ID plate and the stamp on the floor. My boys and I can't wait to rip into it.

Welcome to the world of VW owners..

it has 4 stud wheels.. maybe from a later beetle 1968>??

on the front apron it has the round holes for the deluxe over rider bumper support stays.. [towel rail bumpers]

the windows have been out at some time as they don't have the stainless steel trim in the rubbers..

BIG job ahead of You... Go for it..

Got to do a bit on the beast over the weekend, started to remove the glass and clean out the inside. I just want to see if someone could confirm for me the stamped numbers found on the pan matches the compliance plate on the body. From what I found on the net that it's a type 1 made in Oz and does the 3rd digit refer to build year. Also the engine stamp below the gennie bracket starts with a H which refers to a 1500.
And the last photo is hopefully what it will turn out like after a lot of hours money and patience.

Cheers guys

Body is 66 pan is not. Unless you have 4 stud adaptors.
