those are the correct fenders for the car  Oh really? None of the '67s I ever owned came with door-mounted mirrors, trigger door handles, and short hoods with push-button handles. This is in the late-model thread after all. it isn't a 67 it's a european 1200 standard model built from 68 to 72 (I thought) I think the '68-71 1200's are the coolest late models, I may be biased though. Although on the orange car, being a Sparkafer, there should be no trim or badge on the bonnet. |

Shows to go you that you learn new stuff every day. I've done these cars for 25 years but never knew that. But then again I only know US cars.
Seems odd that Volkswagen would retain the grilles when at first the grilles were deluxe items. Having to make a part with an extra process had to cut into the profit.
It just dawned on me: my friends made a lot of Sparkafers because they were ashamed of their late models. Bumpers and fenders were the easy swaps--most of 'em never did anything with the bumper slots in the front aprons. I guess we were cutting edge and didn't know it!

x2 (Hi Nico,are your wheels matt grey?) Thanks Peter Spokes are sand-blasted, center and outer lip are polished. Maybe one day I'll have the spokes painted, I'd like a slightly darker grey on it, but for now I like the rough-metal look. |

Dokke, your car is real nice. It reminds me of sarge's blue 69. Just a simple, cool, daily driver with some style.
Do you have any interior and engine shots you want to share?
