About a month ago i went to see a '68 panelvan that had sat in a shed for the last 20 years, and i ended up buying it as i really liked it, its the first aircooled vw i have ever owned, and i don't know alot about them but i did notice that the front indicators and rear lights was incorrect, the next month i spent looking trough the forums on here, and i noticed more things not being correct for it, for instance the rear airvents and the vipers.
Yesterday i went on an 11 hour drive to pick it up, and thought that i would share a few pictures
It is a danish car from new, and the guy i bought it from have had it since 1986, it was converted to a camper in the 70's and it was there it were facelifted also, there is a lot of rust in it, so it proberly gonna take me some years to get it in a drivable state again :lol: i would like to restore it to as close to original as i can, but im not sure if there is any '68 features left on it anymore, i think the rearview mirror is original?
The engine mount/mustage bar is rusted out, anyone know where i can get a new one?
It has a clock, is that normal for a panelvan?
And finally this is my dad in the early 70's thought that is kinda cool
