A 72 fastback could only have come from the factory with the filler flap in the right fender. Either someone has changed it, or you actually have an older car. What is your VIN? The VIN on a 72 would start out 312.... The third digit is the last digit of the year. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
