i have it in my 67 fasty that in restoring, the cables are shagged and i dont realy want to replace them, im going to get a pair of fire extiguiser pull for track cars and mount them on the front of the seats so A. means you can flip the seats to let people in the back B. means if you want something...

im in the middle of converting a 6inch beam to fit mine, im only going 6 inch so i can run adapters and then create a 4 inch beam if you understand my logic

67 is definatly the best year but fastbacks are cooler

that looks the absolute tits mate, lot of work gone in to that car that the naked eye would miss first look, i love the door handles, they from an mx5?

yeah it a common think my mate ripped his handbrake clean of the tunnel in a mk2 squareback, if you want a hand on evening on a saturday olly id be more than happy to assist

polo was on weller steels, you got the square home yet mate? looking forward to seeing it

what model polo you got, you may know my cars from seeing them around, white mk3 polo coupe lowered wide arched on 13 x 8 steels, and now got a matt black mk3 golf estate on pirelli p slots,
might be a year or 2 before i can cruise mine lol nearly finished the welding on the first side

where in swansea are you from olly, im from mumbles and currently restoring a 67 fastback, when you get the car back in swansea feel free to come over, be nice to see a solid one

could someone please post a photo of how they fitted a narrowed beam to a type three frame head ond what if any modifiying it took, thankyou

alright craig good to see you on here at last

How are you going to narrow the torsion bars? They're 5/8" thick spring steel and have splined ends!

nothing to say he could have new ones made from scratch, aint a cheap way to do it but its a way to do it

right i think its finally time for me to start a project thread for this thing, needs most of the bottom 6 inches doing, body off, rear subframe replacing etc etc well ill let the pics do the talking for now shall I? http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o150/sputnicbmx/DSCI0157.jpg http://i119.photobu...

the only part of your question i can help with is the dash, id say leave it in because on a lot of the samba build threads they put the dash in first as its easyer to do up the back screws

be interesting to see how the porsche 1700 lump works as i managed to pick up a 914 1700 type 4 bottom end with barrals n pistons but they look ropey so ill replace them n the heads with standard 1700 type 4 and some high lift rockers and big carbs and see how it goes

i like the look of all these although im a fasty man at heart, like the look of the early front with eyelids

cool to have a car with some history like that mate, one wierd thing i noticed is that that car has c piller vents which i thought only 70s cars had, correct me if im wrong though

wow i like the look of that, im quite new to aircooled vws as im only 19 but im assuming it was a well known drag car a few years back from the look of it? looking forward to seeing some progress on it dude!

hey guys i have a 67 fasty thats 4 stud on disk, it has no rear end in and the subframe and trans ive sourced are older and wide 5, i have been given a wide 5 front beam aswell (lhd n rotten so only hubs being changed) so as crazy as it sounds im going from disk to drum i would like 2 convert to a d...

Driving a low volkswagen makes you very observant of the road conditions too. You get this sort of second sight for pot holes!!! amen to that, water pumpers included, my daily is a mk3 polo coupe lowered 60mm on gas shocks and high poundage springs that has little to no play, combined with 13x8 whe...

exelent mate cheers can get my repair panels folded up now

cheers mate

top to bottom of inner sill ,not including the lips

can someone tell me wether the heater pipe is 50 internal or external diamiter and the hieght of the overall sill section please

my early fasty has been fitted with an irs rear end, ive been told that my options to fit the box is to make a gearbox cradle from scratch or to use an early cradle and build the irs into it
which would be the most work and the best way to do this?

as name suggests, mine are very very shot, to the point where the floor pan isnt atached anymore, looking on t3d they list outer sills, heater channel bottoms and heater vents but no inner sills.
so where abouts can i get them from or do i have to use other ones off a differant car?
