Thanks
Yeah the compliance plate says 1970 but I think its a '69 model judging by the chassis number.

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. |

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.

Wide load
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.

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. |

Bumpers back on
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.
