A Shove in the Right Direction Please?

Those early dashes make baby jeezus cry, think matt (loon) has a blue nicer cabriolet one to match your carpets.

Nice mk1 - hope she doesn't bend it most learners are doing just that

I am a bit of a stickler for keeping things original if I can. If I was able to change the dash, I would want it to be the exact same shape.
The odo says 136000ks.... although I am not sure if thats correct. It has a service history with a major service done in 1990 at 115000ks. Then there are receipts done for work over the last few years with 2 of those receipts a month apart last year with 144000k's on them not too sure if they are just wrong or if someone got a bit happy with a drill....

It had rust work and a spray in 2003. I see there are some very small spots under the windscreen that will need looking at eventually. The doorcards are perfect, the roof lining is perfect too. The seats are ok but the velour has worn.

[melissa]

Thanks. I will get the mechanic to check it out.

jack the front end up, grab the tyres outer lip with two hands one at the top of the tyre and one at the bottom then side to side wiggle to check for play at both points. wheel bearing replacement isnt uncommon for a vehicle of this age it looks mint condition good buy.

[melissa]

Thanks. I will give that a try tomorrow after work.

Kombi interior lights are a different size, the 76 on kombi ones are smaller than the earlier ones too. You need a beetle one, and one with the smaller earth terminals.
I am not sure if I have any left at the moment but will check.
Congratulations on the purchase as well, I thought that looked like a great example when I saw it on Ebay.
I hope your daughter enjoys it, and looks after it.
Cheers, Andrew

Thank you Andrew, that saved me pulling one out of the kombi to see if it fits!

Great purchase! I wanted this for myself but could not afford it.

Hope your daughter looks after it! She will definately have something different!

Cheers
