Great job your bug is looking better than when it was new .depending on the model and extras ordered when new not all Beetles came with reversing lights.but all the later ones did as it might of became law , my 73 deluxe had them, i would of thought that a gt would of had them as standard as being one of the top edition model, strange if it didn't. check the gear box to see if it has a reverse switch on it or an aperture to screw a reverse switch in ,wire up to both rear lights. watch you dont mix two many colours on the interior as it can be over kill as the dash has a black rubber safety cover, Are you going to fit the rubber stripes that go along the length of the bumper and chrome beading to go in the window rubbers ? as they make a difference ,if that was mine it would be my daily driver better than newer car, well done fella you should be proud of what you have achieved. 👌
Thank you for watching and following along. They never came with reverse lights. I know this because the light cluster, originally, never had a clear section for reverse lights. Also, the gearbox does not have a switch for reverse in it. I have ordered a full kit to fit this. I have already fitted the rubber strip to the front bumper with overriders. Not sure I'm doing the same to the rear. As for the chrome stripes in the window seals...it may happen at some point, I just know they're awful to fit. Thanks again for the comments and watching.

Good job there. The GT Beetle just keeps getting better and better!
Cheers Robert. It's getting there.
Looks great - well done
Thank you
