thanks for the comments fellas, and it was nice meeting you too don, i will look into the cruise for sure, i still have some work to do on the fasty, some small touch ups on the paint as well as a fender resprayed as it has some lower body damage, luckily my local paint supplier was able to match the paint pretty well

that is a nice little fasty. got to cruise with it to the classic last year. looks like it went to some nice hands with some nicer wheels laying around... 8)

That's one nice Fastback. Those rims made a difference!

is this the t1 engine car, or a completely different one?

Mon Mar 15, 2010 11:10 am

i love that car soo much. a piggy like that is one of my dream cars

That color has got to go.

I really like that car.. it has been around the block a few times, but it has been getting better and better. Although I must admit I liked the Cookie Cutters better. The irony is I feel that Fuchs are figuratively "Cookie Cutter" on nice Type 3's.

anyhow Congrats man! If I would have been closer to SoCal I would have tried to pick this one up!

I thought the same thing hmm I wanted to know what happened to the old rims since it seems I collect them. I have 6 cookie cutters and 4 more 15 x 6's would be good so I have two sets.

Mon Mar 15, 2010 9:14 pm

thanks fellas, and sorry notchback the color isnt going anywhere, the paint is pretty nice still considering its 6 yrs old, i sold the cutters to a friend of mine, i had the fuchs sitting around so i threw them on and love how they look, im more of a chrome wheel guy, plus the car doesnt rub at all, a 4.5 up front with 135s, and 5.5 on the rear with a 205/65, i also painted and detailed the fuchs myself, just need to order my isp caps, if i were to repaint it i would paint it black though 8)

Neil is just jealous don't even pay attention to him he is a closet Fastback owner. That car I would love to own the last time I saw it there was no back seat I am glad there is one now it really makes it complete interior wise.
