It's difficult because you will be taking almost everything apart. Unless you are already familiar with all the parts, you will have a tough time getting it all back together. I don't know you, or your level of experience, but the fact that you asked the question suggests that you're new to this and it was just something that you may have read a bit about and thought it sounded like a good idea. If you start down this road, plan to spend at least a year at it, and keep in mind that most cars which get taken this far apart never get put all the way back together. So my main concern is whether starting out down this path will mean the loss of another type 3 to overenthusiastic restoration plans. I really would like to see you work and learn on some less ambitious goals first. In other words, before you learn to run, you need a good bit of practice at crawling and walking. Please don't take this as insulting. I truly mean it in the best, most encouraging way. I hope you stick with your type 3 and learn to know it inside and out. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
