i need a pair of doors for my squareback.
i dunno if the doors were different on early and late type 3's, if the were then i need early doors....
as long as there is no rust, i'm interested.
sydney area would be preferable.
cheers

Had a look round a yard today, littered with Type 3's . What sort of condition are you after. The ones I saw had rust blisters showing in the bottom corners other than that not bad.
Do your hinges have 2 or 3 bolts to body?
Kai.A. ·
the hinges have 2 bolts....
um, as far as cond. my doors just had a couple of bubbles, but the skins are stuffed and most of the internal frame in the bottom 3rd of the doors is stuffed too....
i guess the trick would be to have a good look inside the doors, and maybe give the skins a little prod with a screwdriver (if no one's lookin 😉 ) ya never know what's lurking behind a coat of paint! as i keep proving time and time again....
any ideas how much they'd be?
cheers

p.s. has that container arrived? i can't wait to see my new headlights....
ClassicVW(pacific) ·
I will go around again tomorrow and have a prod and see how much he wants.
Container is sitting at Customs at the moment, with Christmas and all that , it has been very slow. We have had word that it will be cleared tomorrow afternoon fingers crossed
