Re: International Type 3 day. 28th April 2024

Might be a bit of a push as don’t even know yet the condition of the new square until it arrives next week but if I can get it running and roadworthy I could be up for this.

Re: Next year (2015)..........50 years of the VW Fastback.

It'd give me another reason to bring the old girl out from the back of the unit.

If you need any help selling the 2007 lump you can either message me or on DBS ;)

Re: Hello serious newbie

Welcome along! Good solid looking square you have there. Ambon fans are perhaps ambulance fans, they were a factory option and boost airflow to the windscreen. You will likely find a knob on the dash to control this. My fasty (same Dulon/dulux colour) was fitted with this option and also had an eber...

Re: How many cars are still alive in UK?

Pete, the fasty is roadworthy for sure, just no mot. I can't tick it here as I think I already voted as none of the above.

I've a 63 square in resto and the 71 fasty currently SORN. Couldn't see where to add these as neither are roadworthy currently so please add them to your numbers wherever you see fit.

Cheers

Re: 2013 CLUB PHOTO CALENDAR - Photos wanted!

http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r222/hotwhip-R/d612ccd3.jpg Beautiful FB. I have to ask, where did you find the "Type3" badge on the front fender? Cheers! They were stock on Australian Type 3s, mine came from oz with them. I have two spares to fit at a later date, they were for sale on oz ebay.
