Looking great!
I have a question. On those Albert mirrors, is the piece that screws into the door always facing forward? Seems kind of opposite of how I thought they'd go on. I have a set I'm saving and just wanted to know if there is a standard way to install them.  |
This is the way though Brent

Sniffed some glue today
Installed the 2 NOS ashtrays in the upper rear door panels
That are NOS rear side trim on top of NOS rear arm rests
Glued in the small pieces behind the rear seat
Put in the shelf cover + rear seat and backing
Gued in the entire carpet - took about 8 hours !
That's a NOS front piece - NOS full set of heater flaps + mechanisms !
Glued in the front + rear trunk pieces
Fitted the NOS front trunk liner with the OG screws + caps
Put in the NOS VW green coco mats - still has its "coin"
Put in the NOS feet papers
Tomorrow the assembly of the front seats
Enjoy the photos !
Still going strong

When can I pick it up?
I always said I'd never be caught dead in a Fastback, but I'm still very much alive, so I can make an exception just this one time.

Did both front seats today
Gloss painted bases
Installed NOS cams on both seat reclining mechanisms
NOS chrome adjusting knobs - NOS forward / backwards knobs
NOS chrome side trim on the drivers seat
I am glad I fitted and stretched the seat rail part in the past
Never had such easy sliding seats in any Type 3 I owned / drove with / parted out
Using some grease on top of NOS seat rails helped a lot
The NOS 311 part numbered / year correct safety belts still need to be fitted in place
Need to find 1 reclining knob cover - should have it somewhere
Enjoy the photos !
Still going strong

you're doing well!
I reckon you have the best restored type 3 in the world. No one has gone to this length. |

I knew it I just knew it George you are a Fastback guy, Bert thank you for getting George to actually confess.
Bert,
Calling that car beautful is an understatement. I have no words to describe how stunning that car is. WOW.

My current 68 and past 71 were both lowbacks. I don't think Australian cars became highbacks until 72.

Lowbacks were available in various markets to the end of production, as was the 1500 sidedraft.
