I just purchased a 68 fastback a week ago. I found the best collection of used body parts is Cambell Nelson auto wrecking in Edmonds, if you take the Edmonds ferry out of kingston its only about fifteen minutes from there. They also have a web site at http://sales@findusedparts.com/. They have two yards so if you can't find the part in their on line mix of stuff give 'em a call. I haven't looked for mechanical parts from them yet, but they might have some of that too. I bought a door and hood for my 70 fasty for 100 bucks. Not too bad. They will negotiate a little, just like any other used part place. As far as shops, the Vee-Dub connection in Port Orchard does a lot of good work, however it is mostly on Type 1&2s. Good luck, Ben ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe
