Newbie
Hi everybody, new to the boards, just joined this evening.
Have a 73 Fastback, in the middle of restoring it. Been working on it for about 2 years so far in my spare time.
Bought it from a guy in Scunthorpe and she made the journey over to Ireland in one piece all the way from Castleblaney to Cork.
She's fuel injection, Reg is SPL 560M but I got her re-registered.
Will post photos soon.

Re: Newbie
Very nice. I love late fasties.
Re: Newbie
Haven't been to any shows yet. Hoping to get to one soon. Will probably be bringing the Beetle because I'm still doing bodywork on the Fastback and getting the dash re-wired after she nearly caught on fire!
Re: Newbie
Hello John and greetings. Nice looking FI fastback. I'm in Cork city and have a notchback here for the past three and a half years. Savannah beige as well... PM me if you want to met up. Paul

Hmm, neither picture will link - I get the Eirecooled (good name!) home page and a message which says "Invalid attachment...". Maybe you have to register to see them?

Re: Newbie
^ pity yours are lates! I've been keeping my eye open for air-cooled vw's when I've been over, Tara sends me pics too when shes seen them. Old 58 bug is often parked outside an ice cream shop in this little village in the middle of nowhere, not seen type 3s myself yet though Tara has seen a late square (I'm learning her) so maybe one of yours.
I'll be over if there is work. Need to go to Sydney first though! Madness..
