Well, now; so how does this clean bear run? 
My guess as to the rear floor mats is that the left one was for a '68 or earlier Ghia that had the seat rails spaced farther apart than '69 and on. Right one is '69 or later so that the indent is for the closer-spaced rail.

Sounds impressive! Just wanted to know what it takes to make such power out of Type 1 engine, cause Type 4 have the volume as default, needs just some of the ingredients to reach similar or higher power figures.

I guess you can say I restored mine too.
My DMV said I couldn’t paint it but I asked a cop that lives in the neighborhood and he said that as long as it’s still reflective at night it shouldn’t grab anyones attention. So I masked off the characters and painted it to match the car.
I’m still waiting for a ticket.
