My fasty (before, during and after)

Hi fellow dubbers, Type 3 owner here coming out of lurkdom to show off my fastback project. I got myself a good example of a '70 type 3 and with a bit of work, some rust repairs and a couple of donor bits i've almost finnished her (it's taken since last November!) Originally Antarctica White, I've chosen Anthrazit for the finish (a 1960 German VW colour. L469 is the paint code LOL 😂) I've done most of the work myself, weekends, spare time after work (learning every step of the way. I'm a tradesman painter, the rest is all new to me 😵💫 ) I'd like to share some more pics and I will when I find them LOL. For now here's before, in the spray booth and after assembly (well... exterior assembly, the interior still needs an interior LOL Isn't it alway the way. I'm on a tight budget 😂) I was lucky to nab the car out of Waverly for $900! almost 3 months out of rego so I had to get it rego'ed quickly first and get it quickly done. Thankfully that didn't mean taking short cuts! Just put in some long hours. Looking forward to the day (soon!) when I can refit the interior and have the kids and Mrs go for a cruise 😎 I figured there's a few nice white fastback around already. This colour was originally only available on notches and squarebacks (and beetles, kombis and Karmanns) built from 1960 - 1963. It was never available on a fastback. 😵💫😵💫
