At this very moment, I have a 1971 Superbeetle and a 1979 Dasher diesel (both with expired tags). So, one foot in both worlds.
The Dasher was a royal pain to get it to hold water. Why is the lower radiator hose one diameter on one end and different on the other? All the hoses are new now, except the smaller ones that go into the dashboard for cabin heat, those are still 40 years old.
The dashboard is a flexi-cable with LEDs. The oil pressure indicator light is unsorted.
