Also discovered it had concrete in the heater/sill channels whilst trying to work out why the heater didn't work. Probably long dead now but bizarrely I spotted another Beetle (looked like a 1300/1500) registered 2 digits off (FFW 803L) in Barnsley a couple of months ago. I do NOT really miss that car, it was crap but it taught me loads about oversteer.
My mate had one of them. The heat exchange had gone sending fumes through the car. The heater takes its heat from the exhaust system, we arrived everywhere strangely giggly.
