Tom99 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I built my 68 Volkswagen as the American version, with the blade bumpers and high back seats. It's painted 1968 Volkswagen Luna White. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KMcc Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Very nice! Had a dull red one in college, great reliable transportation. Always wanted to replicate it with that kit, but I wasn't sure what to do about the bumpers. Did you scratch build yours or are they aftermarket. Now I'm motivated to start mine. Absolutely spot on build! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely spot on build! To do a proper conversion you need to cut the front and rear wings complete with the valances off the convertible and graft them onto the saloon, as the bumper hight was higher and they deleted the air intake grills on the wings, The bonnet and bootlid are slightly different to clear the higher bumper, I started this conversion but it went onto the back-burner Edited October 17, 2020 by GeeBee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
