Diagnostic Plug

Im not desperate for one, Just curious, does anyone have the diagnostic plug for one of these? I assume its the same thing across all the VW's of the period?

Re: 1971 VW Type 3 Fastback

It seems to be the lack of oven, the panels are baking nicely with the IR heater now, Im not too frustrated, its nice to move back to more mechanical jobs and theres nothing to stop me colour sanding it when it warms up next year. My local powder coaters just got a nice new oven which I might see if...

Re: 1971 VW Type 3 Fastback

Well as good as that rear panel looks, the rest of it is causing some bother. Still being left with scratches and swirl marks in enough places to upset me. I flatted the boot lid right back once again. I expect its my last chance before I get through to primer! https://d0lqnw.am.files.1drv.com/y4mQp...

Re: First 68 fastback

Great news, sounds like a fairly small project, ready for next year then :D I wouldn't bother with flickr unless you are prepared to pay.

Re: First 68 fastback

So its your first fastback rather than the first 68 fastback off the production line?

Whats the long term plan? do you have any photos? Are you modifying anything, what colour is it/are you going for?

That floor is fantastic, looks as good as OEM stuff, if the car wasn't so obviously a custom job that would look like its just rolled off the production line :D

Re: Flickr photo changes

I mean I spend a bit of time visiting forums searching for useful reference photos and save them to my PC before the hosting site knocks them off line. Then if anyone asks about that topic in future i post the photo up.

Great stuff, nearly there! Painting is really full of ups and downs! Not sure I could face repainting mine. Might see how much a decent respray is in the spring. But looks like you've got the kit and skills, and are nearly there. Well done. Kit yes, skills, not really. Very much learning on the job...

Re: Fuel Breather Pipe issue

Excellent! Keep us posted. Id suggest changing your fuel hose yearly. Ethanol in modern fuel perishes the rubber. If its started to leak and need nipping then its likely the rubber has split or softened. So id change all of your rubber hose for j30 r9 but make sure you get it from a reliable source ...
