L BUG SHED FIND
Well the wife's away in sydney with the kiddies and I
thought the carport looked empty so I got this 1973 L bug
to keep the shitbox 69 company.Have seen this bug hiding in
a carport for years and the owner was happy to part with it.
The curved windsreen Lbug superbug never did much for me
but I think he might just grow on me .Happy days

Looks pretty good for rust too which is always a good thing with any late bug especially in the rear pillars .
Whats the air plenum like in the front as if it's good your on a winner for sure .
Don't let body work get in the way of real suspension travel

Hi
Good score, it looks unmolested apart from the washer bottle mod. I like to keep the stock bottle and fit an electric pump to the outlet.

Pull the black cover off in the front under the hood and see what the damage is
That is a real leak problem area

Looks like a good solid base.
Only thing I would suggest checking up on before you pour too much $$ into it is the compliance plate is missing.
in NSW you can get around this but they can make you jump through hoops to do so, QLD should be the same.

Looks OK
but check for RUST between the bottom corners of the rear window and the end of the rain channel..
VERY BAD AREA for rust..
also where the guards bolt on..
and the air chamber where the water goes from the vent in front of the windscreen
but Looks OK from the pics..
what year model??
