At last a forum for the ugly step child. What are we going to kick it off with?
I'll start...hands up who has a type 3 or KG.
I have a '69 notch which I drive every day. Compliments the TAT turbo beetle.
I know this has been done before but it will be easy to search on now.

Here is my '65 Notch, just got the motor, gearbox and sub-frame back in after a good clean up.

Here Goes My 63 Square And 71 Notch

And now from this collection we can see that there are right hand drive bodies and left hand bodies. Some (most!) of us have to live with the poorer vision of left hand drive bodies on rainy days!

wow! the twin of my old one (just sold), same colour, year, black widies (my tyres were a size smaller, 195s and 175s), only your onw doesnt have little patches of other colour paints and touch-ups!
Reimagined/Recycled/Upcycled Cool
Very ratty 71 Fasty. Basically all complete, very solid underneath.
Unloved on the inside and outside. Currently unreg and off the road but soon to be cruisin' around.

I love the colour of yours empikg. I wish mine was that colour or the light tan.
baybuscamperkid the only reason mine does not have patches of colour is that it's a dailey driver and I don't have a friggen clue how to do bodywork 🙂 I remember that when I was looking there was another the same year and colour, it had those stick on white walls and new carpet but was $2500. This one was originally $1800 but had carb/ignition trouble. I nearly passed it up but the owner rang and said I could have it for $800. All I had to do to get it running fairly well was to replace one idle solenoid. It's a 1700 from the paperwork but I still think its not running to it's best potential. Once I get the left carb back to stock float and jetting I can at least eliminate them.
Nice cars everyone, great to see them

Here's my '63 'N' model.
