no other comment that WOW. Lucky lucky man. 75 76 models were hard on the rear springs no matter how many miles, so best to install a new set of factory repro springs to raise the rear to stock height. Museum piece certainly

The insets in the front bumpers are where the optional fog lights go.

Great looking car. Congrats!

very very nice.

lucky you.

if its not too much bother, when you have time take some photos of the charcoal can in the engine bay and post them.
in particular - hoses and where they go at both ends.
research purposes.
the engine bay looks very unmolested.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Can is in different location but maybe how it is for 75s.


yep, the can in 75 shifts about 1 foot to new position next to battery.

can is the same plastic can they go to in 74 with the change to engine bay location.
ie same as ours starbear.

think i can tell from engine bay photo posted that air cleaner hose comes out of the same end of the can it does on ours starbear - the tapered end. but can't see other hoses.

@simonjb nice bonus is set of michelin zx on the star steelies.
love seeing another 1.8 still running the stock steelies. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

thanks for the can photo mate. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

take a look @StarBear . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

red hose curves back under can and goes to blower nipple.
same as the "s" hose on the 74 1.8 (can in engine bay) from same end of can.
air cleaner hose and fuel vapor hose goes in opposite end of can,
same as 74 1.8 (can in engine bay).
matches other highly original 75 1.8s.
matches plumbing on other highly original 74 1.8s.
matches all VWs ever fitted with cans.
and co-incidently matches plumbing for L Jet 2.0s on 76 912E.


----------

your car is a beauty.
as dr 914 says, museum grade.

no fog lights - but what are those deep inserts in the front bumper for? Big heavy rubber bumpers..where are all the gauges? and no Fuchs.


Deep rectangular inserts in front bumper are for the optional fog lights. My '76 2.0 was similar.. no center console/gauges.. no fog lights either. I prefer them that way. More room for my right leg.

Is it an easy retro fit to install the optional fog lights? We also have a 1975, very similar car, clean no rust 80k miles. West coast car, some original paint
