>>So, theoretically, a mostly complete, rust-free original that needs restoration could be a pretty worthwhile project.....<< Even more than with the other Type 3s you need to look out for rust and evidence of previous accidents. And finding a really complete car would be the goal even if it's initially more expensive, because buying all those rare parts individually will add up very quickly. >>earlier I received a message saying that the Type 34 didn't handle as well as a normal type 3<< I disagree with this: in my experience a Type 34 in good original condition has the best handling of all swingaxle VWs, even better than the other Type 3s due to a considerably lower center of gravity. I'm told that adding a camber compensator makes cornering even better. They're really great cars. I've owned two over the last 15 years and highly recommend one to anyone looking for a rewarding VW restoration project.
