Re: Type III pan & wheels


Michael,

You should have no problem swapping the type3 pan from the same year
from a Notch, Fastback, or Squareback. Call over a few friends and get
after it. Kinda like "raising the barn" in the old days. It's a friends
and family thing. 

I'm getting ready to swap a 68 Fastback pan under a 65 Notch Body. Notch
Pan is toast. Only thing to really be concerned about is the "vin"
number on your car(s). Once you make the swap your Notch will have a new
(different) vin number as it is stamped on the tube on the pan. Not
really a problem until (of if) you ever decide to sell it. Something to
consider. If decided I'll own by Notch forever, for better or worse.
This VW relationship is kinda like a marriage don't you think?

If you start your project before I do, let me (us) know how it goes.
I'll be interested to "look over your shoulder" as you do the swap via
this e-mail list. I'm sure others on the list will be watching closely
too!
