My 66 T3 fastback (now with on the road pics!)

Paddo · 2005-04-25T12:14:50+00:00

Finally I have managed to scrape enough money together to start working on my 66 fasty and so feel that I can finally start to post some pics of this beautiful car as I slowly get her on the road as my daily. The engine is a stock 1600 that was rebuilt just 6 months before I purchased the car and basically has never been driven since the rebuild. I purchased the car in around August of last yr and have just not had much money to work on her as much as I would like. She had when I got her: BBS 17x7” Pirelli 195x45 front 205x50 rear Rear camber compensator Porsche 924 front shock absorbers Italian spec clear lenses Euro tail lights German Bosch headlight glass Pop outs US trigger quickshift She also had a gear box that was stuffed so Volkspower helped me out early with a new second hand box as well as ignition switch. She is in the shop as we speak and I hope to have her back again by next week so as to continue her make over. These pics were taken of her over the weekend before she went into the shop.

It has actually been about 9 months chipping away at getting her on the road and it feels so sweet to be able to sit in that drivers seat and turn the key on a daily basis:thumb:thumb

Glad the 8 spoke fit. Did you raise the car? They do look good.

thanx guys, big thanx to Steve aka stephenianjames for helping me out regarding transport, battery, electrics, etc.

For those guys who have said negative things about the guy on this forum, shame on u cuz he is the most genuine guy going around and loves vw's.

Cant wait to see the KG Yamez, give me a call when u get it and I will come around.

Hey Paddo,

The Pigalle interior was a 1966-only color - Red. It was different than the other Red interiors though, and I think it included a Red sterring wheel and Red dash pad.

Anybody here have any experience/knowledge about the Pigalle interior?

Someone scored a nice notch about 8 months ago with a Pigalle interior but not much more info was available on the car - just in case someone beat them to it. It looked in damn good nick too.:thumb
