They are the same. All the front steering and brake part are type one. The rear is type 3 if the transaxle came with the car from Brazil. A few of them were sold without tranaxle and motor in the US to get the kit car qualifications.

my car is from brazil to canada

not sure if it was full kit or not I think the canada cars came here complete.

I did research on type 1 so loks like beetle parts

i went to cip1 and looks like

2 front options. so i guess option 4 is for me since I have disc brakes from factory.

Thats the one I would get.

Being you r in Canada I would say that your car was shipped complete, so the rear will be type 3 if it is still original.

Well, both. I have a 84 GTC. You can get a lot of info on Pumagte.com and the VW PUMA PAGE http://wj2d.100megsdns.com/home.html.
Your car is built on a VW Brazila platform which was the same pan configuration as a Karman Ghia. The Brazila was a Brazil market only by VW.

You need to post a picture or two of you car.

You may find something in one of the Brazilian sites. In the US VINs were issued by individual states and don't conform to normal VIN setup. Always a fun trip to the DMV. Laughing Laughing

The owner of the PUMAGTE site sold his car and was looking for someone to take over the site so he probably isn't monitoting it real close. Brandon is the administer http://www.pumagte.com/phpbb/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=3
You might send him an email about joining the site. That's what I ended up doing.
