Hello Ladies and Germs,
This my first serious post, and I hope your infinite wisdom can assist me in solving this dilemma. I recently purchased this sweet '71 Fastback from a forum member in Newcastle. I am having a ball working on it every weekend.
My aim with this car is to have it registered with ACT Historic Registration through the Club VeeDub, Canberra Chapter. So, I have signed up with these guys, and in 6 months will be eligible to get the Historic Rego.
There is a sticking point however, which is the ride height of my Type 3. I believe it’s down 3 splines rear, and 2 splines front (please check the attached photos and advise on config?).
According to Canberra Club VeeDub Historic Rego Guidelines - link;
'Acceptable Alterations; Suspension upgrades incorporating the original design components. Ride height must remain standard'
If the vehicle is not standard, the vehicle may be passed at the discretion of the Registrar or the Committee.
So, now to my question:
Were VW's lowered 30+ years ago? Were they lowered to this point (3 splines), and can this be considered a period modification? If so, where do I find documented reference to this period modification?
Thanks dubbers!!
