Hi Simo

The best answer I can give you is to contact the California Department of Motor Vehicle. They keep history of the vehicle up to 10 years. The catch is, you have to pay. You knows the drill in this country (USA) :?

Ok cool - ill have another look on the interwebby :msn4:

Hello everybody. I'm a newbie living in the USA, Southern California to be exact. Although I owned a couple of VW before this is my first time acquiring a 1970 Crew Cab. It doesn't have a name yet and it's a project. It's been hit on the front. It's not running yet but I will try to put it on the road as soon as possible. It will be my daily driver. I currently own a 66 Bug Convertible as well.

Here's a couple of photos:

Hi lard

It looks good from the back but the front looks like a mess. It was in an accident that the previous owner replaced the whole front. And according to my friend it needs some more welding and a lot of body work. To tell you the truth I haven't seen the DC yet in person coz I'm out of the country on vacation. So I purchased the vehicle with the help of my friend. I believed the transaction went well because that's the front of my house on the photo. But I still need to deal with the dreaded DMV (Dept of Motor Vehicle) for transfer of title when I get back. :roll: I liked the moon hubcaps too so I might keep the wheels like that for a while. I have all 4 of them. If the chrome is shot I might paint it white.
Now the question is, should I lower it or not? Remember this is going to be my daily driver. Decision, decision. Hayyyyyyy :|

Cool project, really like a Double Cab. Have to get me one those someday.
My bus is lowered with dropped spindles. It's not extremely low and still very comfortable and good to use as a daily driver.

Hi Resto,

Could you please tell me what's the drop inch of your dropped spindle? Is it 2.5 or 3.5"? I think I'm going on your route. I'll dropped it only a couple of inch. I don't wanna go so low coz ill be hailing things on this bugger

Hello again.. still working on pictures, have managed to get thumbnails so far.

 

[Matsui132]

Doing some DIY at the mother in laws.... so decided to give "Fergus" some sunshine :roll: soon realised tho that I could not reverse onto the drive as the front bumper started kissing the tarmac.

 

[mmetalchap]

morning all.good manners dictates an intro,often lacking on many sites
I donty have a bay but used to run the bodyshop of a main dealer when they were current so know my way round them and looking back i never appreciated the simple pleasure of going to stores and helping myself to genuine parts......i can dream now,
what im looking for initially are threads of restos, no disrespect but initially im after proffesional ones with detail showing the work on going , not so interested in paint side but fabrication,
yes i know i can trawl through the gallery but it really would help if you point me in the direction as you guys know them best
cheers mm
