[T3] My new little girl


Iâm looking for suggestions from all of you out there who are more experienced with Type 3âs than me.  Just bought last month a â73 Fastback with 36K miles.  It was the proverbial little old ladyâs car, and it was sitting (with occasional starts) for about 3 years now.  She drove home to DC from north Jersey okay, and Iâm about to start working on the problems I know about (right rear brake locks up pretty quickly, steering is way loose, some lights are shorted out), but I thought Iâd see if there were any suggestions of things I either should check or replace right off the bat.  Iâm inclined to replace any flex lines or hoses, since itâll be easier to fix them now than when they fail on the side of a road somewhere, but maybe I shouldnât worry till they do fail?  Any thoughts?

 

Thanks!

 

Annika
