 Posted: Mon Jan 26, 2015 11:32 am Post subject: 2 part question, pertaining to front end (body) |
 |
|
Here are my questions...
How wide is the front end of a type 3, from fender (wheel arch) to fender?
Where can I find a one piece fiberglass front end for a type 3?
I'm contemplating a project (notchback) but I don't know if it is feasible. Need to work out some specifics before I commit to the build. Thanks |

Just realized that my profile still shows me owning a notch... I sold that beauty a few years ago. If I did, I wouldn't be asking the first question. 
Time to update |

Where are you located? Mine does need a little fiberglass work.

Hey Mike, why don't you sling a tape measure across the wheel well openings and give him a measurement, instead of a pic? 
To the OP, contact the seller in California, and see IF they can answer your question. Aparently there aren't too many here that can give you that measurement, due to having all of the steel still in place.
