My previous attempt at a generator conversion with a type 1 alternator involved removing too much material from the alternator case, and it still wouldn't fit without major modification of the engine tin.

But this only took 15 minutes to fit

The existing regulator wiring though..... :lol:

Another job to sort out.

Another session on the squareback today.

Took it down to Nick at CJ Motors for a gearbox oil top up, and assistance on refitting the popouts.

Then back to the lock up for roof rack removal, a good wash and a polish.

Interior tidy next on the list.

Took the square to Classics at the Clubhouse today.

Image

Had some nice neighbours.

That was the last trip in a Type 3 for a while, the next time I drive it will be onto a car transporter.

Well, that's it. The square went today.
This is the last pic during my ownership, stacked high with parts before being loaded onto the transporter.

I can't say the relationship was all lovey dovey because it fought me at every turn, and one job turned into 5. But I will miss my type 3. Even though I only ever got to two shows in the 7 years of owning it.

I'll still pop in from time to time to see how you're all doing.

Hello all, I'm still lurking in the background.
I forgot to show you what replaced the type 3.

Hi everyone, I’ve now got the squareback so thought I might keep this going. Just completed a 1600 mile trip round Cornwall without a problem and baring needing more power there’s nothing much to do. Thank you
