If you have a fastback, it isn't a Variant. Post some pictures of your project, we all love Type 3's

and another Fasty surfaces.

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.....
