Thanks Chris - no, not driven it yet! We're doing a pretty big building project at home which is taking most of my time (and money!), but I think I'll be getting up there in the next couple of weeks to collect it. At the moment Type 2 Detectives are fitting out the interior for me - we've gone for s...

Wireless - oops! Many thanks! I think I went for the colour

Ozzyrules - sorry, didn't really answer your question. Best thing to do is call Paul at Type 2/ 3 Detectives - he has done all the work for me. I really haven't got a clue!

Hi - sorry, not been on here for ages again! I've not driven the car yet, been too busy with work and doing a big extension at home, so I've left it with Type3 Detectives to do some interior work in the meantime. We've got some 80's Porsche seats going in (tombstones) which will be refurbished and r...

Thanks I'm looking forward to getting it for sure!!!

A couple of more recent shots now it has the wheels re-furbed and fitted, been lowered a tad etc...

Hopefully this is a picture of the rear view of the car - with turtle backs in the back before they were re-furbed.

You're damn right about the garage! Right, going to try and post some pics now....

Sorry, not been on here for a while. I saw the beast in October, and love it! We're having building work at home at the moment, which means my double garage has been knocked down and replaced with, er, a single garage?!? Apparently we needed the space to extend our kitchen :| Anyway, the result is t...

Love it!

Yum....

Sounds good matey - enjoy! I'm hoping to see mine early next week now - will post pics following that

Thanks. Nothing is set in stone yet, but certainly having it lowered. I need to choose some wheels first. It was on turtle backs, which I can get from the previous owner - so that's an option. Also looking at Fooks and quite like gasburners! So no idea really!!! :? Also considering a narrow beam and...

Well, after lurking and reading a few bits and pieces I've done it and got myself a T3 Squareback - have been beaming about it for days :D I haven't actually seen it yet, but will hopefully see it in a couple of weeks time. In the meantime it's going to have a full mechanical re-furb and then I'm ho...

Thought I'd let you know I decided to go for it - looking forward to learning more on here about these cars and how to best enjoy it

That is VERY nice. I'm currently very seriously considering a squareback - this helps!

fair point re the oomph! :lol: You're right about the other points too of course. I have a 1958 car tucked away as well (kinda related to VW) and that will be easily outrun by a Prius with a dying battery...still makes me smile wickedly though! Just wasn't too sure about an auto trans, but notice on...

First post - sorry it's a bit of an open question. I'm looking to get a type3 for a bit of a project. I am not mechanically minded at all, although will want to learn a bit as time goes on. I've got the possibility of what looks like a tidy square type3, but it's an auto and I was just assuming I'd ...
