Thanks again guys, I'm also in the process of fitting a early 3 spoke steering wheel to this car, I've always like the look and simplicity of that wheel and have never seen one on a type 3 before.

I usually think white looks too plain but it looks really nice with the early detailed Fuchs. Cool story too, that's always one of the best parts of a car.

Some more goodies for the notchback. I ripped out the old worn carpet, and found a piece of paper that says "karrossenbau" glued to the factory insualtion, pretty cool. Installed some salt and pepper carpet and red/black coco mats from isp west. i also got my hands on a working blaupunkt radio, i still need the bezel that surrounds the radio if anyone out there has one.

I am slowly running out of things to do to this car so a new project might be needed soon... Laughing

Radio is titts and the jail-bars behind the back seat really set it off...I'm loving it.

Thanks Steve, some more little ad-ons, I finally gave up on looking for a good used rear armrest so decided on taking it into my own hands. I went down to a local upholstery supply place and matched some black vinyl to the og material and wrapped it myself, came out pretty good.

Also purchased some NOS 6v marchal yellow headlight bulbs from AllWAGENS (Martin).
