So nice to be putting parts back on... the chrome works well with the Red 8)

Not a massive fan of the VW1600 badge on the decklid so I decided to go with the script badge. Just a personal preference

I had a set of early type 3 rims re-hooped into safety rims. A friend of mine is painting these and hope to have them back soon and get some fresh tyres fitted on them. Colour will be revealed when they are on

Next on the list was rebuilding the vent windows with new seals. The first set of seals I got were trash so I ordered a new pair from ISP and they were top quality.

After missing out on these a few years ago, I wasn't going to pass up the opportunity to purchase these NOS front vent trims when they were offered to me earlier this year. 8)

Also OG trims for the rear vents... Unfortunately when they arrived two were missing. If anyone has an incomplete set or spares I am definitely interested...

Passed the Road worthy today and will be on club rego tomorrow...

The wheels and brakes are temporary as I am waiting for my wheels to return from paint.

To say that I am happy is an understatement 8)
