You'd have to get creative, you can't use the type that hooks over the round front beam on the beetles, T3s aren't built that way. What I've seen done is to build some sort of mount in front'&1 beam(you can't weld to it by the way, distortion and heat problems) and then use a modified Super Beetle tow bar. Someone mentioned something that replaced the front bumper, I'd hate to be towing that using an unmodified bumper mount, there's only two fairly small bolts on each side holding the bumper on and the mount point is just thin body metal. Maybe if you went through the bumper reinforcement holes back to the beam, you could hook on somehow. The front beam is a far better place, after all that's where the tow hook is welded on at the factory. You'd also have to make sure that whatever you added on didn't cut the ground clearance, nothing like going over a speed bump and wiping out all your hard work. As an aside, I knew a VW parts guy that had to repair a fasty that was being used as a towed vehicle behind a motor home. Seems like the couple forgot and left it in second, towed it 2000 miles by which time the engine was ruined and the flywheel had come loose and cut through the bellhousing. I saw what was left of the tranny and engine case. Guess the motor home was so big they never noticed the extra drag.....
