1970 is the new shape and apparently the bonnet, back guards and blinkers are different. Some things fit from early to late, but others don't.

A lot.

Apart from lights and indicators, both front and rear, there is also the obvious 4 stud change.. that is not body however.

One of the main body differences is the bonnet and badge location on the front of the bonnet.. The boot is different from memory too.

THE LOWEST WITH THE MOSTEST BLING BLING WINS!!

Every panel is different in some respect. The bars are differnet, stud patterns are different. Dashboards are different and there are a lot of mechanical differences too. As regards looks, the earlier type 3 tend to look a bit sleeker due to the laid back bonnet and smaller indicators/taillights.

The Actual Type 3 We Are All Used To Comes In Notchback, Fastback And Squreback, In The Manual They Are Known As Early = VW1500 And Later VW1600, Some Have Type 3 Badges On The Fenders Why I Dont Know, Maybe Someone May Be Able To Shead Some Light On This, As I Would Also Like To Know, I Agree With Chris (3 Toes) And Helbus

Ta Andy

Below Is My VW1600 or Later Type 3 (1971)?
They laugh because You are different, You laugh because They are all the same.

My understanding of the Type 3 badges were that they came out for the 72 & 73 models and only in Australia

The splits and bays were never sold as either the T1 or the T2. Some people have taken it upon themselves to retrospectively name them but that doesn't make it so. To confuse matters further, ETKA lists the type 3 as T3 and the type 25 transporter as a T2.:P
