Coool project!

As someone who still has a soft spot for Type 3's, yours is certainly heading in the right direction if that interior is something to go by :D

What colour have you chosen and is this going to be lowered or standard height? How are the widened steelies going to be finished off?

All the best with the rest of the project, certainly going to be stunning.

I need a Notch in my life....anyone want to buy a somewhat ratty fastback?? :mrgreen:
If it's too low, you're too old :twisted:

Thanks! The car will be painted white, officially it is called brilliant white, which is a whiteish/silverish colour... Standard height and the rims will be colour coded with the body!
