Hi I've own it since nov last year ( ckk 623k ) but i thought should come and say hi
Well its been named Eric due to he's banana colour 'Texas yellow
At the moment he's not that well knocking noise from engine maybe piston number 3 maybe lose torque converter but next week engine out and have a look also proper look when it's up on the lift fingers crossed I know there some welding few bits on the floor the front wheel carrier bumper Monts front and back body wise seems good few rust spots now treated
It's been serviced and has a new dizzy on it's way ,right one thanks for the help in finding and my other ?,s
Can't wait until it's all sound and running good
I've got vent shades for the front windows proper Vw ones of the USA eBay
A front shelf which I did redid in wicker it looks cool but my legs keep hitting it so maybe it will go
And to all you peeps with a broken clock had my fixed £20

There aren't many people who I'd trust working on my car, and you've got the right ones!

Good-looking Type 3.
