Wattle yellow Aussie 3 door Mk1

Hi guys, after a few years playing with Subarus, I'm finally back in a VW :)  I picked this little beauty up last week…



I had purchased it a couple of weeks earlier, but It needed some TLC for roadworthiness, which gave me time to source some KW v1 coilovers and a nice set of rims to set it off…







It's pretty straight…the paint is missing the clear coat on all but the passenger side, but it's scrubbed up ok.  Plans now are just to upgrade the usual suspects… fuelling/ignition/exhaust/braking.  Then just enjoy.
I hope you guys like it.
Pete.

Looks reaaaally nice! :)
How low is it? In regards to mm.
And also, that fuel filler cap looks different! Any close up pictures of it? :D

I haven't measured how low I have it at the moment as I'm going to roll the guards soon a drop it a little more :D  I'm not a fan of the stretched look, so with the 195/45/15's I've got on I won't be going MUCH lower…
I have a new OEM fuel cap on the way…I knew one of you blokes would pick up on that ;P

Thanks guys :)
It's a 1978 model…
The VW scene is alive and well is Australia (both Air and Watercooled), but we all still hunt for parts from UK/Europe/USA :D
Had a fellow dubber come around with his guard roller the other day, so I've dropped the car another 10-15mm. Obviously, it will go lower, but for daily duties, this will do.
We have our annual German Auto Display coming up in a couple of months, I will slam it then :)



Here's a dodgy interior shot too…just got the boss kit last week so I could fit one of my spare subie Momo's…



Cheers.
Pete.
