Here is my new 67 I bought it a few months ago from a guy who had it for almost 30 years. It is solid and runs well, but needs work. It is pretty far from stock so I am going to run with it basically as is. Right now, doing some welding (luggage tray, battery) and then new interior, seals, etc. Going to be the wife's ride.
.
After some major cleaning and painting of the interior-- welding in a battery and luggage tray next weekend:

Here's another 67 I owned years ago. It was my daily-driver for about 4 years.

Well, i have been lurking on this site for a long while and i must first stop and say thank you to everyone here. I've learned sooooo much about VW's from all of your generosity.
Here's my project....
someone cut the damn dash...grrrr...
carpet comming out...getting ready for body off
this is the most recent pics of the progress..
and this is how i want her to end up
The front beam and the tranny are off now and the passenger side pan has been replaced. The pan has been blasted and powdercoated, just needs to be picked up from the powder coating shop. I cant wait to see that glosssy black.  She still needs a name, hmm...... |

I see all these 67's with early headlights, I like how 67's are different and not like all the others.

I hear that really early '67s had slanted headlights like the '66 (and the UK version). I also agree with you, putting earlier fenders on a '67 kinda kills part of the lure of a '67.

x2 and I am guilty of that with my first 67. It wasnt until later I realised the uniqueness of the 67 fenders and 1 year only parts so when my younger brother got his first bug (a 67) I made sure he didnt make the same mistake I made.

thanks but no thanks...If I import a dub, it will be a vert (we didnt get these either!) I have a Aussie 67 and a 67 Notch on the way...maybe a 67vert in the future (best of both worlds, vert, and one year only car!)
