What an epic car! I really loved it when specip3 owned it and still love it! Jealous as!

As for the tank, I think the earlier ones had the access cover on the sides, and later models from the top. Could be wrong

Very early ones with the ugly rear panel also had the tanks with the side fitting,parts left over from the 1975 Euro production.As the Australian cars were assembled from tkd parts sent from Germany.The build quality was extremely poor and had lots of issues so any surviving 76 LS cars are a treasure today,so look after them.Info direct from the father in law as I wasn't even born that long ago.
Eri's certainly looks great .

Not my words but the old guys.He obviously doesn't like them and said neither did VW otherwise they wouldn't have changed them only 1 year in.

Oh love this puppy! Remember it from years back such an awesome colour and clearly still in awesome condition!

And here she is ready for her inspection thismorning. Bit of rust in the passenger floor so dont know if it will pass or not...we will see! The height of the front is dreadful makes it look like a monster truck or something.

Haha he is a good guy!
Unfortunately it failed the inspection. Just some minor things like steering rack boots (which we realised last night but couldnt fix it in time), lhs cv boot and some brake hosing that was split. Other than that it was all good

I have asked transport tasmania to give me a week or so to fix them so we will see what they say.
