Technically, yes, but most people associate the 'Variant' term with Type 4s.
Afaik, VW first officially used the term 'Variant' with Type 4s.

How do you expect us to answer that?
*scratches head*
It depends on what you want.
First off, try find a Fastback...
Both are very different.

I have no idea what a Bullet Extractor is, but I'd like to see a pic of it.
Was it an EMPI part?

Pine showed us the advert a while back, that's how I identified it..you can see the advert under IMPI's period project post..it was made by Paddy manufacturing and cost all of R35,00!

If you realize a fastback is difficult toget spares for
It really is the best aircooled ride by far
I have a project fastback that is basically complete except for an engine No Papers Yours for R500.

No, Type 3 station wagons (squareback) were called Variant. So were early Passat wagons.Merlin wrote:Technically, yes, but most people associate the 'Variant' term with Type 4s.
