My Type 3 Panel... By Request... ---Image Heavy!!----

So, Saturday on the way to work the engine decided to leave its contents on the road... So i walked to work to deal with it afterwards. 45 minutes for RAA to turn up and tell me what i allready knew, that it needed to be towed home, then another 1.5 hours for the truck... For a Suspected Cracked Crank Shaft!

So the car is being pulled off the road to be rebuilt. The body is being split from the pan, any and all rust fixed, will get a new motor, new gearbox, re do the brakes, will surface in Feb (thats the plan anyway!) with a completely new look! Might put some carpet and stuff in it this time round, i have a concept of what i want the end product to be, now to make it happen...

I saw this thing parked on a hill up burnside way on sat night. I was like..............wtf. This explains it.

If the next build is going to be anywhere near as epic as the last this is a build to look out for.

BTW.....saw your car on speedhunters. Nice work.

[Brass Munky]

Yep, i was wondering if you would, or anyone, would spot it!

Next build should be awesome, if it all comes together, Portland VW Drag weekend in Feb is the goal!, god i can't wait for that weekend regardless...

Ah Speedhunters, stoked it got on there before it blew up...

[svenmate]

Only spotted it today. Congrats

[Brass Munky]

Cheers, So stoked to see it on there.

Cant wait to start the new build, a few things to do before it starts, but I know what its going to end up like... Ill get the drawing up later of what it should look like finished...

[hao.]

Pretty sure I would commit unforgivable offences to own this car.

[Brass Munky]

Cheers man... Not sure what you guys are going to think of the new build then!

(fingers crossed this works and isn't too big....)



I think im going down this route. No idea what wheels im going to put on it yet, but its going to be a pretty comprehensive build. You guys are the first to see my plans too!

Body off the Chassis, Fix all the rust, make it mint, relocate the fuel filler, fill all trim holes. Satin White paint, i have an idea what White i want to use, just need to see if its possible. Will get a new heart, rebuilt box, some new interior goodies. The door trims will stay, ill just tidy them up a bit, make the handles fit and look proper. Will probably loose the sun visor on the front, and the rear venetian, and I have a few other idea's up my sleeve too!

[dreny...]

I love all of them but i reckon the last one is the win for me. It has that real 'rat rod' look. Who did the design drawings for you or did you do them? They are awesome.

Thats the one... There are others here, for Beetles, Kombi's and Early Porsche's too

I think im moving away from the Rat look so to speak. The car will basically be getting a full resto, so there will be no rust left to show off. The rat was fun, but now for something completely different.
