Looks like mine too....including the 1641
(except mines a '69)

good model to find any parts for,,,,
looking good..
cheers

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 :)


*did* - January 13th, 2004 at 10:34 PM

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.


Stanley - January 14th, 2004 at 06:25 AM

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.

*did* - February 15th, 2004 at 09:05 PM

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


*did* - March 13th, 2004 at 08:41 PM

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.


oval TOFU - March 14th, 2004 at 10:35 PM

looks like some one needds to lower their bug a bit more.....


:D


*did* - March 15th, 2004 at 02:36 PM

Yeah I know!
The front is so high compared to the back


*did* - March 24th, 2004 at 12:47 PM

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.

Mmmmmm

Me got a 70 as well, theres lots that can be done with a 1500 beetle, like stick a 2.0 ltr in it.
