1971 VW Type 3 Custom Convertible

This car started life as an Australian assembled VW Type 3 Notchback (Sedan). At some time in the 1990s (I think), it had its roof cut off and was made into a convertible. It was a professional job as it involved under-body strengthening, the addition of a roll bar, and tailoring of clip-on vinyl roof. As part of the conversion, the headlights were recessed, guards were flared, and the interior was fitted out with a wooden sports wheel, sports seats, and retractable seatbelts. The engine appears to be a stock 1580cc VW air-cooled flat four, but it is fitted with a fairly radical looking 4-pipe exhaust.
