Hi all, too many projects, too little time!
This one is mostly complete, I had it as a daily driver for a while until I got a nice fast back (TLE auto), so this one has been sitting garaged for ~8 years now
1600 twin carb, 3 speed auto 1973.
that's the good, now for the bad, it has plenty of the usual type 3 rust, inner front guards, vent box, top rear corners. Exterior panels mostly sound, floor pan mostly sound.
Auto was working fine when parked, as were brakes/shocks/suspension etc. Engine was getting tired when parked, few usual VW oil leaks and either a blown head gasket or possibly a cracked head, I have never pulled the engine to check, exhaust is full of holes!
Please note I have put on some spare tires that hold air to shift the car, so the wheels in the photo's don't go with the car (will have stock rims)
I would say this car is beyond restoring unless your very keen. It was a good daily driver for me, but needs a heap of rust cut out to restore. So could be a very extensive project or parts car for someone.
Hoping for $, unsure on the value of type 3's currently? Prefer to sell as a whole, but if there is no interest will look at wrecking it.

I can help with delivery if it's in/around Brissy
