Looks nice. What is going on in the brake department? Makes me wonder if the engine has been toyed with? Is it a repaint? Quit being such a tease and give up the goods.

Looks like drums thru the vents on the wheels. Also thing shop glass windows.

Is the yellow gas cap factory? I'm asking because I bought a 73 orange thing, and it had the same yellow gas cap. I thought the PO painted it.

Nope. In another post of his, he wrote:

Thank for the compliments. It has four wheel disc brakes. The engine has dual weber carbs but they are 44s on a 1600 (way to big ) I will probaly put smaller ones like 34s.I just bought the thing so I am going through it.Its funny you ask about the gas cap its actually a spray can top (the gas cap got left at the station) went back to get it but it was gone. I am waiting for one to come in. My goal is to put a bigger engine (1914 or so)
Thanks Lyle

So I guess mine is the only one with a yellow VW gas cap :lol:

Looking at the hubs in the pics, those look like Neal disc brakes. Good stuff.

Yeah, I would definately make the engine earn those 44s.

Ive got Neals on the front of mine, so I recognized the hubs.
