So a friend of mine picked this one up in april.
It's original paint lotus white with red interior. Clean dash with og radio and the rest. It has all the seats, original bumpers and pop outs. A complete car in overall good condition with a few issues.

Man, you got a lot done in three hours. _________________ Everybody born before 1975 has a story, good, bad, or indifferent, about a VW.
GOFUNDYOURSELF, quit asking everyone to do it for you!
An air cooled VW will make you a hoarder.
Do something, anything, to your project every day, and you will eventually complete it. |

A lot of the parts from the car were original and in pretty nice condition, so plan to re use as much as possible. The new parts were bought from WW.
More to come.. |
