[size=5]Hi
Two new headlamps and it will look like new...
I see you are in Newcastle...
not too far away from Scone.... lol
68 model beetles were made in the VW production year which was 1st August 1967 to 31st July 1968 = 1968 model
so, as far as VW is concerned its a 1968 model...
check the identification plate behind the spare wheel.
the chassis number is stamped under the rear seat...
Engine should be a 1500 single port HO series..
Does it have disc brakes on the front??
1968 models did have in Australia...
Yours has extractor exhaust system similar to mine..
cheers

From what I remember 67 had one year only round door push button, 68 had four lugs.
