Plan is to sort all the rust, install a ragtop similar to the pics, slap on the AirEvo boots pilfered from my Karmann, lower with Fresh Kustoms drop plates, narrow and adjust the front beam, throw in some plugs & oil, jif up the saltnpepa interior & drive.

Reminds me of my first car a 65 Wagon
same trim was a nice car to drive
I fitted a set of Twin carbies of a 1600 engine and a set of Sonic extractors

I see yours still has the single carby
Going to be a BIG project
I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

You are certainly not afraid of a challenge. Great to see another VW being rescued.

Informed that it is bolt in, will check wheel clearance if spacers are required

Hey! Hey!

Mould is the ultimate accessory for European Rats!

The fabrication looks fantastic.

What a weapon!

Good to see another Squareback being resurrected. I'm working on a 72 at present.
