I am taking the teener down to nothing and building it back up, but in the meantime, I have nothing running to play with. I am am thinking of a '68+ bug or Fasty to driver/screw around with while I work on the teener. I am leaning towards a fasty, but may want to put a T4 into what I buy and that sounds like another non running long project if I go with a fasty.
Any advice? Thanks! Mark |

The T1 is a dime a dozen. Easy to work on and find parts. The T3 will most likely get confused as a Volvo (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) Remember, the T3 was the upgrade, the more refined car, so you'll get better ride, cargo capacity and passenger comfort. You could even get one with a true automatic (it's NOT the auto-stick!!!). Though it shared some parts from it's siblings it has a lot of parts unique to it and they aren't always easy to find. You can put a T4 engine in a T3 and it's not that difficult.

My vote would be for a type 3. I had a 68 squareback that I was in the process of restoring...until some drunk ran into it on the street. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
Although I'm also a huge fan of the pre-67 type 2. |
