you’ll need twin filament US spec housings if you want to retain the running lights plus indicators - or just write them for indicators using the wiring diagram above - running lights look cool though...

lovely old job - no big holes cut anywhere and sits nice on the bamboo shelf...

nice work - I like US spec running lights on front - late 3s rock

nice wheel choice for the car - I reckon with black bolts and caps they'll look the part - you can always add satin black inserts if they look "too much" -

447 for a 50amp generator - just wow
i know it looks original but - not needed if going on an original car

love the coach wheel - nice choice. I bought a knackered one and painted the rim white but think the original finish looks great in a T3.

all sortable but eBay advert is not clever.
it does notneed TLC - it needs fabrication.
the elderley owner that lowered, fitted a banging stereo and rims - what a joke -

car looks like its worth sorting and getting back to how it should be - hope you left suitable feedback for the seller...

nice job on the short axle conversion - so nice having a bit more tyre under a squareback
those drop plates look the business - enjoy...

soon they'll charge for the car park and show cars - am sure its an expensive venue to hire but its lost its magic for me...

Was a while ago - it was around 45.00 ad I painted it afterwards - (I think) the auto starter is rated at .8 hp opposed to .6hp for regular manual gearboxes - its body is longer. If you can find an electrical place locally that rebuilds starter motors, generators and alternators - they should be abl...

They are quite a rare item - I had mine rebuilt. You may also want to look at hi torque starters for performance bugs - they will have similar output required to start an auto -

looks like a great base for your overhaul - keep the pictures coming - we like pictures

cracking job mate - chassis looks v purposeful - looking forward to seeing / hearing this one come to life...

looking v good - all that colour sanding pays off -

top work - shaping up v nicely -

superb work - going to look nice and full up with the charger on top

Always surprises me when I see recommended tyre pressure at 17 PSI - every-time you have tyres fitted you usually get the " you sure mate - 17 is low"

looks very happy in that dash.
I like the green temp switch - eberspacher?

proper job on that valance - bet you enjoyed a beer after getting that sorted
car is coming on great - looking at pics online makes it look easy...

Meant to say valve clearance and ignition timing

skills

Maybe just spoilt it to some new plugs fresh oil, adjust the valve and ignition timing and stop those leaks.
Notchback with factory Fi is v cool - enjoy...

TheSamba.com has a lot of info regarding tuning the FI engine. Changing the cam will ruin the FI timing - avoid. If youre looking for a mild improvement - rebuld the motor standard, fit a tuned exhaust and have the cylinder heads ported for better flow - that will make the car run well on the stock ...

maybe they were 4 piston -

TAROX made a nice 6 piston front caliper and disc set for 4 stud cars
