Title: Type 3 measurement needed! Post by: sam P on January 31, 2010, 13:27:41 pm Hello guys,
About a month ago my daily driver notchback got banged up pretty bad in a hit and run accident by a drunk driver. Yesterday I started the work on the car, but it seems the backside has moved quite a bit (it was very hard to get the engine out). If anyone has an engine-less type 3 in the garage, it would be very helpful to me if you could provide me the distance from the bottom edge of the transaxle belhousing to the bottom lip of the air intake. Mine's a '68 model. Oh, and later on I might need some help of the "cal-look lounge lynch mob" to help resolve some issues with the asshole who did this. :) Thanks in advance. Sam Title: Re: Type 3 measurement needed! Post by: speedwell on January 31, 2010, 14:37:29 pm oh shit ::) ::)........... :'( very sad
hope it will be on the road soon Title: Re: Type 3 measurement needed! Post by: Mario/DKT on January 31, 2010, 15:06:39 pm Hi,
my 62 has no engine at the moment. I can measure it tomorrow (car ist still at the paintshop). But i dont know, if it's the same distance between a 62 and a 68... ??? Mario/DKT Title: Re: Type 3 measurement needed! Post by: sam P on January 31, 2010, 15:50:12 pm Thanks Mario, that would be great!
Also, I like the backside shots you took of your car, they help quite a lot. http://cal-look.no/lounge/index.php/topic,10569.0.html (http://cal-look.no/lounge/index.php/topic,10569.0.html) Because in my car I can't even see the original shapes through all the smashed and twisted metal. If you have any more, (especially of the righthand side) feel free to post them. Title: Re: Type 3 measurement needed! Post by: nicolas on January 31, 2010, 16:52:21 pm hey, i can measure the fastback for you the engine is out, but the accuracy from the gearbox to the fan is questionable as the gearbox is fixed on rubber mounts. i would use the framehorns as a reference.
i'll pm you my cellphone to go lynch ::) Title: Re: Type 3 measurement needed! Post by: Mario/DKT on January 31, 2010, 17:15:19 pm Ok, here it come some shot's...

Post by: Wünderwolff on January 31, 2010, 18:25:08 pm Hey Sam, You can always come and measure Liesbeth's trunk. Oops I bet you all read that the wrong way. Of course what I meant is: you can always come and measure the Notchback in our garage. The engine is still in though, but feel free to pull it anytime.
As for the lynching you know the Wunderwaffe are go, some of us even look frightening! Title: Re: Type 3 measurement needed! Post by: nicolas on January 31, 2010, 21:21:59 pm some of us even look frightening! really? got new members? :P the measurement you want is 63cm Title: Re: Type 3 measurement needed! Post by: roland on January 31, 2010, 23:20:09 pm Wow that sucks! Can't really help, only wish you good luck with the rebuild...
Title: Re: Type 3 measurement needed! Post by: kev d on January 31, 2010, 23:51:40 pm Thats tragic >:(
Hope you get it back on the road soon. Cheers, Kev Title: Re: Type 3 measurement needed! Post by: sam P on February 01, 2010, 00:55:27 am Thanks for the kind words guys. I know this sucks, but it's all just metal. It' ll bend back, right? :)
Quote Hey Sam, You can always come and measure Liesbeth's trunk Hmmm, I appreciate the offer, but that will only slow down my work. ;)Quote the measurement you want is 63cm Hey Nicolas, is this measured from the bellhousing or the framehorn? I don't think the rubber gearbox mounts will make much difference from car to car. I will check tomorrow at what measurement I am right now. Thanks!This is where I started yesterday, and where I'm at today: Title: Re: Type 3 measurement needed! Post by: Wout on February 01, 2010, 09:20:01 am Good luck!!!

Title: Re: Type 3 measurement needed! Post by: Mags on February 01, 2010, 15:31:08 pm Hi Sam
i will check with Axel Stauber Germany he have on side you ned. I can ask some other friends can have this parts you ned. Mags magne.baevre@volvo.com Title: Re: Type 3 measurement needed! Post by: sam P on February 01, 2010, 23:11:25 pm Thanks for the offers, Mags and Neil, but I allready have all the outer body panels and I think I can repair the inner body work. :)
Title: Re: Type 3 measurement needed! Post by: notched on February 02, 2010, 22:39:48 pm Damn, that sucks. Looks like you're makin' good progress though.
Title: Re: Type 3 measurement needed! Post by: nicolas on February 06, 2010, 10:03:19 am the distance is from the bottom of the belhousing to the underlip off the rear underlip of the fan-intake.
Title: Re: Type 3 measurement needed! Post by: roland on February 06, 2010, 10:43:02 am Hey Sam,
Pat from the shop with the same name has a 68 notch in his garage, with no engine but a gearbox in it.. Maybe you can contact him and try to get there and mesure the car yourself.. Title: Re: Type 3 measurement needed! Post by: sam P on February 07, 2010, 23:04:56 pm Thanks for that info, Roland.
The car is straightening out pretty good. The rear lines up with the decklid now and de inner structures are straight. Progress is not as quick as I wanted it, but I'm getting there. Tomorrow I'll test-fit the engine, and see if I need to measure some more. Title: Re: Type 3 measurement needed! Post by: type3 on February 11, 2010, 20:08:48 pm That's bad news about the crash. Looks to be shaping up to be a great repair though. :-)
