<x-flowed>Howdy everyone! I'm soon to be a new Type 3 owner. I found the car thru the www.vwtyp3.org website. I'll be picking it up Sunday It's a 1968 Fastback, savanna beige, 4 speed. SOmetime in the past the FI system was partially removed and a carb installed. My plans are to do a mild cal-look car. Keep the bumpers and chrome in tact, probbily keep a stock interor , slightly lower and put on a set of 8 spokes, lastly build a 1641 with dual singles and a header. This is gonna be a summer toy, so I'm not too worried about gas milage, tire wear or any of that. I do have some bug expreience, but not Type 3's. That leaves me with a few questions.... First, are the sidemarker lights from the earlier cars still availible? I love those fender monted lghts. Next, does a type 4 motor fit? I have a chance to pick up a 1980 Vanagon motor for a core. It's worn out but free. Anything else unusaual to look out for? Any tips? How about that stupid 9 prong relay they used for those few years, any way to work around those? Thanks!
