Edward, Welcome to the list. This is the BEST place for finding answers to your car. Empowering type3 owners world wide, so keep that in mind that there are people from ALL over located here, not just Cali or the US. The first thing you should buy though is a Bentley manual, as it WILL pay for itself in a short time. It shows all the proceedures to repairing your car. But if you get stuck just ask.

In other words, items that I will 'eventually' >need that aren't currently being remanufactured. The number one thing that I can think of are Fastback pop out window seals. These are made of unobtainium. I think T-3 detectives has a set of them for sale @100 per side, just to give you an idea. Type3 only good floor pans are another, dash pads too, type3 sunroof parts, and I'm sure there are others that I can't think of right at the moment. It sounds like you got a good deal, does it still have the FI? or was it converted to carbs? If its FI, you might want to post some of your problems and the list can help you solve it. This also goes for carbs, but most members here have FI. As far as the brakes go, theres already a thread going on it and you can follow along with it, and ask specific questions dealing with your car too. Don't be affraid to ask questions either, as we are all here to help and someone else might have wanted to know too. I hope this helps, and again Welcome aboard.
