Great too see another satisfied vw driver.
My daily driver is a 73 Camper, the only thing to watch for is the linkage on the accelerator pedal is prone to wear. This will result in the pedal developing side ways movement and the lugs holding it doen caan snap off. I fixed this by mig welding both sides of the lugs to prode extra support to the pedal.
I will be converting it to a later linkage which has a muc h smoother feel to it.

Happy crusin and don't forget to give us all a wave! :cool:
