Re: Rusty floorpan edges
Thanks for the advice s.unsworth and brimfull. I'm going to try fabricate a new edge myself and weld it on! I already orderd parts from typ3konny, they are very helpfull and fast! Does T3D also have a lot of parts on stock? T3D used to have lots in stock but I've not ordered from them in a while so...

Re: Rusty floorpan edges
I bought some short edge pieces from T3D but that was a while ago. Tbh you could probably make them easy enough as it's just a flat section and it'd save you quite a bit of money too

Re: How much should I pay to lower my type 3 fasty
If you are a bit handy and have a few tools you can lower it yourself for free, there's plenty of info on the net about how to do it. As its a 72 it has IRS so prob won't camber in much if you lower it more. What wheels does it have as ones for a Beetle have a different offset and often catch on T3s?

Re: VW Notchback sill panels
Sometimes turn up on ebay or a some German specialists do them too. It's actually in a few bits -outer, inner (which is hard to find but not bad to make) and the part inside the car.
Have a look through a few project pages on here and you'll see what I mean.

Cheers Mike, thought it might be so now you've said that I've ordered a bit from GSF- remember it used to be Triax in Nottm when we were lads
Dogleg pan bit is fitting ok, much easier than the bloody dogleg bit of the front channel was

Re: Floorpan edges
Thanks Mark, not the dogleg bit as I've got that from T3D but just the straight edge under the door. Should probably be easy enough to make but I was hoping to just get a repair section.
Nothing's ever that simple on type 3 is it?

Floorpan edges
Does anyone know if the T3 floorpan edge profile where it bolts up to the heater channel is the same size and shape as a Beetle? I need a couple of bits and would imagine Beetle would be easier to get hold of. Ta in advance
