Die Volks Freunde

Another DVF-project

Messie has been looking for a solid early late bug (post 67) as a project car with as much comfort as possible so the search for a 68 1500 was up. The bonus of these 1500's is the factory fitment of diskbrakes up front, which is major update compared to drums, and the more powerfull 1500 cc engine. After a long search, we found this gem somewhere down in the Brussels Area. We just had to check it out.

So yesterday, Messie and I went VW-shopping.

This is the 1500 68'er that we found. On this picture this 1500 may look scruffy but is very solid underneath with only in need of some small welding work to be done.
Check the special 1500 sticker still present at the rearwindow.
Another bonus was the uncut dash as many Bugs have cut up dashes for a more modern stereo-system. The only thing that was cut down is the shifter for that sporty feel...
So after a good check up, we decided it was a very solid base for a Late Looker projekt and a deal was struck. Congratulations Messie...
