I've successfully used an early Golf Mk1 master cylinder on a Type 3 equipped with the standard discs.

The pedal is a little harder, but the braking is much improved, BUT it has to be bled very carefully.

Do you perhaps have a part number?

Wicked car! I recall seeing these on your facebook....Love the stance with the Fuchs wheels on

I'm after a Notchback, so want to flog this one. If anyone is interested, please drop me a mail on blitzvw@gmail.com. I do not want a lot of money for the car, more interested in it going to a safe home where it will be restored...so far all the inquiries that i've had for the car locally were for p...

Any chance of us seeing that article too, Angelo?

Good luck man! That needs a lot of work...

So - the project has officially started! Stripped out the interior, the OG upholstery is still in very good condition...So gave it a thorough clean and put away in safe storage....This car was from a very dry part of SA, so it is still absolutely straight... Basic plan - Firstly give front end a tho...

Yup it is in SA. SA only had Type 3s until '69. All models, except '69 Autos, were wide 5. Well, a fellow Type 3 enthusiast had a look at the car over the weekend and said that it is very much doable, was never hit in the front so is still quite solid. I'll start collecting parts for it after June, ...

Hi guys, I have this 1968 RHD Fastback that came free of charge with another fasty that I had bought... It's still quite solid, was never hit and is mostly surface/minor rust. Heater channels etc are still absolutely solid!!!!! 8) As is the pan, with the exception of the battery tray area... It does...

Wow! Awesome Notch, please post bigger pictures of the Notch and Fasty.

How many splines is the Notch lowered??

Nice and smooth

That is an awesome Notch!!!

What is the performance like? 0-100 KM/H? Top speed

Wow!!! Europeans certainly have the best Type 3s!!

That is a sweet Notch

Nice one!!

Amazing - never seen a 5-bolt Fastback then two come along in within a couple of weeks of each other. Nice dry country to keep the rust away, but big distances to cover instead. Most UK Type 3s never had an engine rebuild, they just rusted away - only the survivors have made it to a rebuild. Yeah a...

Hi guys, Here are some pictures of my 1968 1600 TL. Was a one owner car from 1969 to 2010 - Previous owner bought the car as a demo car from Volkswagen 8) Was driven all over South and Southern Africa, is only on the second engine, which is a factory recon. Car was originally Regatta Blue with a Lig...

i have just finished putting my 69 from auto to manual,it was not as difficult as i imagined, the only differences were the drive shafts and the gear box mount, i used a standard 200 mm flywheel and clutch the floor pan had to be modified at the back to make room for the gear linkage,there was no c...

Australians got panelvans, but SA didn't

South African Type 3s also had 5 lug wheels. The only 4 lug cars were the '69 Automatics

I missed your post re:gauge fitment. That is very trick!!

Any more updates?

How did you get the 944/924 rev counter to fit in the smaller hole?!?!! http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o110/KMN260/IMG_4045.jpg I'm using a 924 speedo in the main speedo hole, and my deal included a rev counter as well, but it seemed too big to fit in the smaller holes in the left and right of t...

Check out the June Volksworld

I'm in South Africa, how do I join this club?

More pics of the Fasty on the right! Please!

Very nice!

The '68-'69 models are the best of the lot

How many splines is your car lowered by?
