From memory, the leading edge of the glass was recessed back approx 10-12mm...... Cheers

To many critics and not enough praise on this forum.

Almost thought it was a pimped 68 with a split welded in the back window, then saw the dash.... pity

its not exactly bad feedback.........................do we have to have "group hugs" for everything on this forum ?

how about a group hug?
This is pretty much how i bought the car and still believe it has been tastefully modified and suited my needs and has served me very well. It hasn't been butchered so u can return it to its original state, comes with most/all original parts available and go with the car.. Incl. Motor, box, wheels, interior, steering, running boards, moulds, etc. So the bits on it can be used to modify another beetle (and i know we all have other beetles) if u choose to make it 'original' again. One piece windows are original and are smooth as. This car will drive anywhere and will turn heads everywhere. The vw specialist i bought it from didnt even add seatbelts so he wouldnt make holes in it. It is 100% rust free and having owned over 40 vw's, from ovals to L-bugs i can honestly say this is the best handling, best braking, fastest and most comfortable vw i have owned and will be very sad to see it go, but it seems as though it wont be going anywhere because according to some people on this forum the car is not worth the money im asking. Its only a '51 beetle, they're a dime a dozen! Maybe i should cut the roof off, whack on a nice flare kit and paint it pink to please the real volkswagen enthusists out there?? It really is my ultimate dream car but my financial situation is forcing to do this so if u r genuine and interested, drop me a line, u r more than welcome to inspect, testdrive, etc. I have had interest from overseas buyers however I would love it to stay in australia. Cheers. Ali.

Think of it this way ! if you bought 30grand of original parts (dash parts ,glass,bumpers ,body bits -doors -guards ,ect )
I think this car would be a fair buy for any one ( to restore or to cal-look ) . Best of luck with sale . All so price can allways come down then up !

Thanks Ali for clarifying re parts etc.
