we bought this in feb of this year, and spent 6 weeks rebuilding / re-doing a lot of things on her, the list of new parts / replaced parts which has all less than 4 months old is extensive. the car has done a max of 600 miles since being finished to this level, new parts include.

new cam cover gasket
fully rebuilt carbs with new jets and gaskets.
air filters
leads plugs and oil filter changed
complete fuild drain and replace
new water pump
new thermostat
new top fil radiator with billet rad cap
new fan switch
new higher output alternator with new aux belt.
new rotor cap
new braided vacuum hose
new exhaust hangers
clear rear screen (with no heater elements, make a massive difference to the back of the car!)
new seals on the rear lights
new mooneyes red steering wheel fresh from the states
fitted a mini amp in the glove box, speaker behind the dash with aux lead into the centre console as it comes with a genuine 70's blaupunkt vw stereo but there was no wiring for it behind the dash so my other half wiring in the amp. 
my other half also wrapped all the internal wiring in fabric tape, along with parts of the engine bay wiring which were worked on. 
washer bottle replaced with bag hidden inside scuttle panel.
all of the interior was removed and the whole inside of the car was cleaned, various parts including the rear seat brackets and seat belt clips, cam cover and alternator bracket have been painted to match the body work. 
loads of little parts that were missing have also been replaced, like the door lock pins and sleeves and plastic backing on the inside of the doors.

she also comes with a box load of spare / hard to find parts, like a genuine series 1 parcel shelf and supports which i was going to get retrimmed, genuine vw door strap pins, brand new genuine vw series 1 plenum drain grommits, original rear windscreen, original black door front door cards, original series 1 vw steering wheel, and lots of various spares.

when we bought the car it didnt idle and barely ran, wouldnt do more than 60 so driving on the motorway was a total nightmare as it was running quite lean, the fan didnt come on, it had no thermostat in it, every door had a different lock barrel in it, the rear lights were unsealed. We've since fitted a full matching lock set with genuine vw keys, and since the work on the engine has been completed she is a totally different car, amazing to drive, really nippy and the twin carbs sound awesome, no misfire / hesistation / underfueling, draws a massive amount of attention from other drivers / passer by, total joy to drive. 

now for the pictures. 











we also have a boat load from the mini rebuild showing various stages of the work but all the pics can be found on my build thread!

now for the price: £6000 OVNO feel the price is very reasonable for this standard of car, and im not in a rush to sell, so wont be open to daft offers, car is located in aldershot, feel free to fire away questions or enquire about a viewing, please note unless you can prove that you have the funds and correct level of insurance you wont be taking it for a test drive, so no dreamers or tyre kickers thank you please. 

i use my phone for work so dont hesitate to contact my other half about it, 07703 583577
