the wheel looks superb - makes a vw a vw...

very tidy little notch - congrats - payoff time...

ah - that one is the fuel return line for FI motors I think.

access to the shifter rod / bushing?

clear bullet lenses a nice touch - car looking sharp

looking sharp

might be worth looking out for type 3 and bus gearbox setups - same basic vw 003 box - maybe different ratios but worth a look

solid...

looks good - the bumpers look like US spec impact? - you could probably tuck them in a good few inches!
auto gearbox too - nice cruiser...
that early ghia.

nice base for your project - whats the plan?

love the fasty - nice to see the car lowered on BBS rims (properly). I am going to fit a set of American Racing Torque Thrusts to my square and need to fit type 1 beam and narrow the rear arms - all to get the right offset. Car looks properly solid and pretty standard - nice job hows the air ride us...

i love early notches - especially in that colour - v nice project - need pics of the panels on the car

sounds like you need to move the inner and outer splines to get a little more lift and reduce the grub screw extension - then youll have some wiggle room when levelling the car out. There is a diagram online that tells you how many inner and outer splines are needed to get lift / drop -

that lockup looks good - if only...

has to be one of the most solid cars available in UK - GLWTS
I remember my mum driving me to school in one of these - dad worked at vw and we had a new bus, camper, bug, T3 every 6 months - if only we kept some of them

factory sunroof notch looks like a good project - interesting approach to opening the glovebox

a good find - buy it - its cheap

I have an unused t3 one ( i bought 3 to get 2!) - cannot remember if its front or rear. The 411 rear bumper one fits the rear T3 bumper - beetle ones not long enough.

If the carbs are in decent condition (no excessive wear in shafts) or vacuum leaks - this is something that any mechanic can do if they want to. Most carbs have a factory setting that is usually a good baseline to start from ( 2 turns out) for mixture screws for example. From there setting idle spee...

I swapped from FI to carbs (40mm dellortos) because of engine size being too much for stock FI system. But if I had left it 1600 I would definitely get that FI system sorted - nothing better when running as intended...good luck sorting

80x92 sounds like a great torque motor for a squareback - that won't need a downshift

Brackets arrived in the post - lovely bit of CNC on these - thx

Maybe slightly loosen the mounts and space top mount a few mm? If you tightened everything with the motor on a jack maybe its worth a try. As long as you use 10.9 grade fasteners you can add spacers and avoid messing about shortening the manifolds that are super-short as it is...

you’ll need twin filament US spec housings if you want to retain the running lights plus indicators - or just write them for indicators using the wiring diagram above - running lights look cool though...
