Don't use the url from the page use the one from the pic. If you right click on the pic, choose "properties" at the bottom and get the picture url from there.
Your pic url is https://www.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/253318.jpg |

Here is my 1973 almost finished. The adjustible front beam is not all the way up because I am looking for some longer shocks. The tires are 225/70/14 Uniroyal liberator A/T. It took me a while to find a decent size tire to use with the stock wheels, but I like the outcome. I am going to change to a black top also. _________________ 65 Notch

Here it is as I picked it up, had it out running around this past Saturday and Sunday. All I'm going to do is some basic body work on it, patch a couple rust holes and turn it into a driver. Can't wait
