Those knobs on doors are tweeters or better said' mini speakers '.The previous owner had splurged out a lot of money in it.He had all the rust cut out and stainless steel welded back on instead of filler and got it freshly painted resulting in a highly professional job.It has a great stereo set up and a new dash as you noticed.He also got some nice wheels put on.Fun car.Forgot to mention this is a 1973 L Bug(superbug)1600 motor which i am looking to uprgrade in future to a FUEL INJECTED version.If anyone has any sugestions or any of these units for a reasonable price, i would appreciate your input.

looks great all you need to do is lower it, add some 17inch wide highly polished chrome wheels,
the engine side of things if the motor runs fine leave it until you have a spare $3500 and you will be able to upgrade it to a beasty motor.
Not to over the top you will upgrade to a 1776cc
some twin carbies ,i wouldnt worry about fuel ingection that little change youll love , start to talk to the guys and girls on here to find the closest vw motor builder thats reputable with years of experance and talk to them theyll get a quote for you ,P.S it may hit $4000 but with a list of what you need like the size of the carbies you can buy some of here in the forsales cheaper than from the mechanic and save .
Theres a lot of very exeperienced people on here some will take the time to help you post questions on the "tech" bit and some one will answer you ,but get acouple of answer because like me im not that mech minded , looks great, enjoy your little bug
