Junkyard Fasty

Post by Maccattack » 22nd July 2016 - 9:58pm

Hi all, not been a member for long and this is my first type3. Had many Bug projects in the fast so new toy should be interesing :lol:

First saw this for sale on thesamba and didnt plan to buy a type 3 but found myself going back for another look. In the end I contacted the seller but it had no title as was saved from a junk yard in southern california.

The seller advised he could get a title and 3 weeks later had a clean title in hand....story goes the seller went to the local junkyard for T25 parts and the fastback was two inline for crusher. He offered $300 and saved it.

It then spent 2 years outside his shop before he decided to move it on and this is where I come into the picture. Nobody was interested on the samba I guess as it didnt have a title. I put in an offer that you couldnt even buy an engine for over here and was accepted....

She landed in UK 25th June 2016

Thanks AK
