Finally registered to read the forums. I’ve been lurking on a few other forums related to Air Cooled VW’s but now a AC owner just yet.
I nearly bought a VW Beetle for a first car a couple of Decades ago, but my old man warned me off, in fairness it wasn’t even a bag of bolts, but a rust bucket. Never did get round to getting a AC Beetle, but always loved AC VWs as a youngster.
Anyway the time has come, where I am now looking seriously at getting a camper. I have been considering it for a couple of years, and in that time I have been priced out of a Split Screen. Next has come the Early Bay, which I have really developed a likeness of. (Am I right in thinking that the easy way to differentiate between early and late is the shape of the rear engine cooling vents?
For a newbie it is a minefield determining the different types and identifying the model and what interior it should have. So, I will search through existing posts and learn as much as I can!
In the meantime I have had a quick search for a buying guide, and only came across a satire tongue in cheek post. Is there a good buying guide thread?
And I’d like to thank those who have posted their projects so far and their trials and tribulations they have had along with accompanying photos. They are excellent, and truly valuable.
Johnny said:welcome to the site, theres also a crossover model 72 with features inbetween the late and early models. The definitive feature would be the flat front arches which only the early models have pre 72, crossovers have a one year only arch that is lipped and latebays have the front arch lip.
