wow great response and fast will make some calls on Sunday cheers guys any general advice on where to look for rust and what is needed for road worthy? because i need this dub to be my everyday car not stuck at home because of something silly. Also as i am originally from Canberra can anyone advise on a good volksy mechanic in bris not to far out? I have heard that phoenix engineering is pretty good.

pete at custom veedub is good they are in stafford usual places for rust on wagons are sills,around gutters on roof, around windows, floorpans, and the one you least suspect is under the rear gaurds which is abit hard to check just overlooking a car...
cheers

Hi Maticust3,

I have a 71 type 3 squareback auto for sale. Aesthetically, its in quite good nick with minimal rust but nothing serious. Mechanically it is a bit of an unknown. I'm asking $1300 for it - as is. I have another one also that your welcome to parts to sweeten the deal (although its a manual). If you're interested give me a call. 0402565441... Dan
