Re: project 72 fastty

You’ve got my attention!!

You can host your VW related pictures on the samba and then link then over to here. Same process as photobucket. That’s what I’m doing.

Now get posting some pictures :)

Looking good. Cheers dude. Oh and just for you Kaddy, https://www.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/1712136.jpg What I've found in the rear arch. I've started to patch it today. It's not too fiddly.

Re: My Notchback.... One for the haters

Well, couple of months on since my last up date I've still not done much. So back in June or July I sold the tyres from my cups 1's to my mate. The car was on axles stands for a couple of weeks waiting for the new wheels to go on not as simple as it would sound. New rims are 16x9 and 16x7 or 8, can'...

And is there no more epic pictures of your rust repairs? It's a super job you've been doing on your Fasty. Your spot on about the ball joints. I recall the Haynes manual has a relatively helpful explanation. I recall being at the alignment shop and trying to dial out the positive camber from the fro...

Hi Jared, Uk bay and beetle lights should fit. If you have the two extra taps within your wing headlight bowls found on the later type 3 wings your open to the world of mk1 golf headlights or any 7" round headlight with a US type headlamp retainer.
