you should be able to get a good sound fastback for under 2k without much difficulty..........a notch maybe another matter! :cry: I'l keep an eye out down my way, you could keep costs down by driving it back (ive sold 2 cars in the last year that went back to ireland, fly to nearest airport then a v...

Now I just need to find 'The One'!

whats your budget??

Duckhams is 1970's oil technology & is fine for aircooleds but there are better products if you do big miles, have a performance engine or are not a great one for changing your oil!

yellow fastys are the future........you know it makes sense!!

that is a cool notch

just noticed ......total hijack of an engine prob thread.....woops!

sorry about not giving much notice on the vag thing at Cheddar......didnt have much notice myself!

still think we should try & get some type 3's together for a cruise/pint locally.......any idea's?

Anyone local on here is welcome to come down for a meet with my main club www.dbs-vw.co.uk
....... a mainly aircooled club down in Weston Super Mare

Didnt that yellow one with the black roof only sell on ebay like a month ago???? :? Yes, but the sale fell through (I don't think the winning bidder ever turned up to collect the car). I seem to recall that it's a good, solid car. Dave's right- If you are thinking about buying a Beetle, you're miss...

Blinking eck! there is loads of type 3s round the South West :shock: 8) ;) seems that way.......we should try & get together! ......actually there is a VAG club uk meet at Cheddar Gorge tommorow afternoon (Sunday 28th Oct, 3.30pm)........any VW's welcome....anyone wanna come from round our way??

Just a thought, and I hope it isn't too contraversial, but why do so few of you put a location on your profile? It'll bring you together very effectively. It doesn't need as much detail as "23 Railway Cuttings, East Cheam", though Tony Hancock was a car enthusiast - old Rolls-Royces particularly. C...

Im not far from Bath so it would be cool to meet up with some fellow type 3 guys!

Keep the faith dude......nothing wrong with beetles but type 3's are just....i dunno.......cooler!

Didnt that yellow one with the black roof only sell on ebay like a month ago????

where are you geographically mate?

Im in Somerset & will keep a lookout down my way

PS.. fibre glass front wings are pretty common (mine has a pair on!)

theres a green late model fasty project on ebay right now....might be worth a look?

put up some pics if you get it (or take some beforehand if you are concerned about any part of the car your viewing......2nd opinions are always good)

hi mate, im new on her too, welcome aboard & i sold my t3 camper a couple of months back to buy my fasty....WEIRD :roll: Type 3 cars are not only cool as hell but also drive better than beetles, type 2's etc (handling for a start but they also cruise at motorway speeds far better as standard) As for...

that is 1 nice late notch......any plans for mods or is it staying as is?

never mind.....got some off ebay

3 bolt flange

Mmmm Flange I love that word

dont we all!!

fastyjay72?.......I know that name....vzi?.......you used to go on the instant messenger..........a porn horse wrangler if i remember??

As it says....how much?

My late fasty has lucas white lensed round indicators & i fancy putting a set of early model bullet style ones onto her instead.

Any idea's what to pay & does anyone have a set they wanna sell at a reasonable price?

ive got a header merging into a 3 bolt flange then a mondo phatboy....sounds cool & seems to have added some extra go to my fasty!

you should be able to get 70bhp from your engine. A set of 1641cc barrels & pistons , 110 cam , 1.25 rockers , some porting , a pair of del 36's and bolt your merged header back on 8) true..... but wouldnt just a bolt in swap for the 2 litre be a couple of weekends worth of work, cheaper, torquier ...

anybody? *watches as tumbleweed spins past..utter silence*
