If you have a fastback, it isn't a Variant. Post some pictures of your project, we all love Type 3's :)
If it's too low, you're too old :twisted:

and another Fasty surfaces. :hangloose: Nice Les.

Will keep an eye out for any Type 3 parts. Calooker has a Type 4 motor that could fit with some modifications. Not bolt-on but not ridiculously difficult either. Just a thought.....

GREAT! The engine I have is A OK! THANKS DAD AND LEN (BROTHER-IN-LAW):hangloose: :drunks:. They were so kind to put new rings and big-ends on the block. Sleeves were still standard and was just honed clean and new standard rings were put on, in 2004. DAD passed on in 2004, :cry:

I need the following,

1. Single port carb and inlet manifold.
2. Generator.
3. Distributor - Is there an electronic one of another car that can work? Coil?
4. Exhaust silencer system/ performance silencer?

Any suggestions, andyone who has spare parts?
