The last of a four VW barn find in upstate New York. It’s a 1965 with a mix of earlier parts. Late four tab hood, early 60’s possibly late 50’s fenders and earlier Decklid and license light. To really mix it up high back seats. I will be starting a thread on this eventually. Pans are very solid but there are some pop rivet patches here and there. Well here are some pics.

I will post up some pics from when it was in the barn as soon as I get home from the Doc in the box. I got bit by a tick during the extraction process.

You didn't hunt it, you just want to whine about it. Try this thread...
