1. Yes. 2. You mean aside from ignoring the stares of disbelief or having to shout to anyone since you won't have an engine cover? Too many for a Squareback, enough to be too many in a Fast or Notch. 3. Nope. What shop manuals do you have? For basic maintenance and work you should have an Idiot's Guide...a Bentley and/or Haynes is recommended as well. What are your problems? The T3 is the same engine as a T1 with exception to engine cooling, but even then that isn't any complication. Fuel injection problems? Simpler to correct than most people think but if you are just dead set against it then switch to a stock carb setup -- just be sure to carefully remove the FI system and give it to a listee! ;) I know you didn't learn the T1 overnight so don't expect the same from the T3 (give yourself a break!). At least knowing a lot about the T1 will give you an edge about the T3, heck, I had to teach myself and after 13 years I'm still learning (usually the hard, expensive way...)! What can I do to help? Because a T1 in a T3, particularly a Squareback, will put a canyon in your relationship and remove all value from the T3 (unless you plan on putting gobs of money in it to use as a racing vehicle).
