Cheers, think i'll be needing lots of it at this rate. Did kinda want something to go to dubfreeze in.

The carpark @ dubfreeze might be your best bet. Stuff in the for sale area is usually overpriced but there's usually plenty of signs in windows in the car park.
Don't know of any locally i'm afraid.

kyle

if ur afta a square (or any type3) check out the type 3 and 4 club.

also theres a guy on there called 'desi type3' who brakes um he may hav a few that are too good 2 brake n he's in brum

flat4fanatic

Desi is a liar and a rip off merchant (as mr self destruct found out the hard way) be extremely careful dealing with him

Mr Self Destruct

No, just don't deal with him at all.

Thanks for the heads up, I think found a running project fastback on the outskirts of cov. No mot/tax at the moment, am going to try and view it/inspect it to see what needs doing, if it looks solid/drives ok, ill pay for an mot and see what needs doing for a pass (only £35 and ill be able to get testers opinion on car), if it doesn't need much then ill buy/repair it, if its a huge amount of work i'll say thanks and walk.

I'll taking a more knowledgeable vw friend, but like me he's not a type 3 expert (he's bus, im beetle).
What issues areas do I look for in a type 3 for damage/rust?

I started doing a buyers guide ages ago but ran out of time, but some pics might be useful:

VW TYPE 3 & 4 CLUB FORUM :: View topic - 1965s ruby red notchback for sale

but hav a look at this
VW TYPE 3 & 4 CLUB FORUM :: View topic - Slammed Solid Squareback for sale, PRICE DROPPED £2495 ONO

price may seem a bit higher than u was lookin at but parts r a dog to get, n there aint many "mot'd" out there "especially squares!" but the odd 1 may crop up but i rekon £1800 is cheapish but u may get a "lil" repair work (is there such thing on a dub? ha) 4 around 1k but in the end u'll end up swappin enough on it. some part new/new set of rubbers £500 from t3d n they aint easy like a bug!!
