well i finally did it! after much looking and virtual tyre kicking, i finally took the plunge.

Say hello to my very blue '73 Type 3 fastback.

Needs a little work for the RWC (bump stops & rear bushes, minor electrical) - anybody got any good reliable mechanics in the melbourne metro area?

kinda scary with my first car older than me!

wish me luck!

looks awesome mate. you might have to take those eyebrows off, they arent legal in most places. Love the color! looks great. I'd leave that how it is... looks tops IMO.

Good to see another Type 3 hovering around. I agree with the color, looks nice. Keep us updated with pics and any mods or repairs you do, as Im doing a type 3 aswell

Great looking Fasty. Sorry buddy, I had to get rid of the Commode Wagon. Now thats a good pic.



Cheers
Dave

Great looking car, and even better without the commonwhore spoiling the pic!
Why not grab some tools and a manual and fix it yourself!?
More pics are always welcome too :-)

thanks bigdave - you obviously have a lot of time on your hands

No not me. We bought our daughter some photo editing software for her birthday yesterday. We were looking at the photo and I said its a shame that there is one modern car in it otherwise it could be any street in the early 70's. She said no problem and edited it in about 5 mins.

Good luck with the Fasty - great cars. I regretfully sold mine last year.

Yeah looks heaps great - love the 70's edit!!.
