    Dear 5150mxVW
    I've seen you rescuing much worse cars. Additionally a cabriolet seems always worth rescuing. The Honda CT 70 looks really nice.
    Best regards, luck and health in particular.

    I love how optimistic project VW owners can have the most rusty and clapped out VW, but they will be like, “look how nice the dash looks!” Yes, they do have nice dashes.

      Up here in the rust belt that car would be considered as a solid body and very restorable. Those who don't live in the rust belt have no clue how good they have it when it comes to cars to restore.

    It was never "repainted orange", 10:27, but originally factory painted Poppy Red (a Convertible-only color option in '67) which was much brighter and 'orange-y' in appearance than the more common Ruby Red L-456.. She's crusty, but pretty much all there! 👍

    11:39 aftermarket blue blinker relay. That car was running around not too long ago. I think they’ve only been making repops for 10? Years. Maybe I’m wrong.
    That “B”case is a dual relief 70’ 1600 cc. Rare. Look under it and see if it has bus bosses on the case for a mustache bar.
    I have 2 1970 cars and both, have B case bus engines. It was the best I could score. And try to keep up appearances.
    Not, bad….not bad, could be worse.
