The only reason why I asked you to share the images is that I've not seen images of the car after it was handled over to the owner. Once again, apologies. | |

The owner is a member of the forum, maybe you could ask him to share pics of the car at his discretion. | |

There is a piece of good news for Fastback lovers, This person also mentioned to me that there are two Fastbacks for sale, one for Rs.1.7lacs and for Rs.2.7lacs. Seems like either the other two car Mr. Kadam has is for sale or there are two more new cars that have appeared after less than 24 hours after Mr. Kadam's post. ![]() | ||

Yes, the dash pad was changed. A new repro compressed foam (similar to the OE part) dash pad was imported and installed. A cheaper hollow plastic dash cap was available, and considered, but since it would not offer the same look and finish, it was not opted for. Sourcing parts for this early Type 3 proved to be a bit of a challenge since very few repro parts for pre-1967 vehicles are manufactured. Good condition used OE parts were sourced wherever new parts were not available : parts like the type 3 gear lever boot, the type 3 / porsche style interior light, the type 3 style horn bar on the stering wheel, the front indicator lamps, the type 3 oil dipstick etc. Though quite a bit of progress has been made, a few missing bits still remain on the interiors front : 1. pre 1967 Dashboard ashtray 2. 1967 only Interior Rear View Mirror These will be sourced as and when reasonably priced options come to market. | |

Glad to note that the car is running well and the engine heating issues have been resolved. thebulletboy's involvement has made a huge difference. Car is looking good. Even in this condition the valuation of the car will not cross the money spent on it ![]() All the best KPS Last edited by manson : 1st September 2011 at 14:23. | |

Glad to see the car owner getting on with his life after the fiasco. Good to know he got the documents for the car. And all that cosmetic additions. Was out of country and could not catch up all the excitement actively though. I very well remember my drive with PAVAN KADAM on this very Fastback, What a feel it gave for that short 15 kms Test Drive he was doing. Good job BulletBoy, i heard a lot about you from PK. ![]() Good job PK, your passion cannot be measured, will meet you soon to see all those 8 VW's that you are restoring right now.

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() It is important. As any vintage/classic owner you must understand the valuation of the car and how much money one should spend on it. Guess one can argue about passion etc. but in the long run it is always important to keep in mind the valuations otherwise it can lead to lot of misunderstanding. Cheers KPS |

OTOH, i read about the Fastback discussion happening somewhere, i witnessed to see 3 very original Fastback's under restoration in ONE SINGLE PLACE as i am typing this, i am so excited. ![]() I am not allowed to post the pics as per PK's request, since the owners are a bit sensitive regarding this. Its really nice to see more and more VW's are getting restored. Bangalore Rocks with people like PK and bulletBoy. ![]() Last edited by EARTHed : 1st September 2011 at 14:16. | |
