Any more info on the engine? Is that yours, Outlaw?
Title: Re: Fastback Post by: outlaw on January 28, 2008, 11:49:44 am No not mine, a good pals.
Used daily for the last ten years so it runs a hot 1600,lightened and balanced, cam, bolt on goodies etc. Great for motorways and daily use. Its now been retired to weekend use and holidays so a 1776 is in the pipeline. His daily is now a squarback - total type3 freak !!! Title: Re: Fastback Post by: nicolas on January 28, 2008, 12:08:37 pm very nice fastback. it has some really nice goodies on it that i envy... ;D
the only thing i never liked on any type3 is the big and small tire combo like this one. but i really would like to know how he fitted the Wide O's under the arches as i thought they were really fat tires... Title: Re: Fastback Post by: alex d on January 28, 2008, 12:13:47 pm hey, I know this car ;D btw, who has now the speedshop squareback?
Title: Re: Fastback Post by: alex d on January 28, 2008, 12:14:52 pm oh, and I must say that pictures don't make justice to this car, in person it looks even better!
Title: Re: Fastback Post by: outlaw on January 28, 2008, 13:10:09 pm The car used to run 205/70s on the back, Wideovals are a little bigger but with a bit of work they fit nicely and donīt rub.
Juan (the owner) still has the squarback which he uses daily but it now looks completely different Title: Re: Fastback Post by: bathing ape on January 28, 2008, 17:02:00 pm nice fastback! so how did the rear tyre go under rear arches then? :o
Title: Re: Fastback Post by: louisb on January 28, 2008, 17:04:43 pm Sweet looking fasty!
--louis Title: Re: Fastback Post by: outlaw on January 28, 2008, 18:19:19 pm Rear is factory height, wheels are 5.5, wideovals were fitted then the rear arches were pulled (ever so slightly) to clear the rubber nothing more.
Juan used a metal bar, patience and a few beers, worked a treat, doesnīt run even under hard cornering..........would with folk in the back though !!! Title: Re: Fastback Post by: Carlos De Alba on January 28, 2008, 18:20:52 pm Nice............ :o
Title: Re: Fastback Post by: Felix/DFL on January 28, 2008, 19:34:13 pm Huuuuh nice fasty ! coulor is very nice...
There is a simple trick to get some more space at the rear. Mount bug brakes (with 19mm B.cyl.) and the rim goes 5mm per side inwards. Title: Re: Fastback Post by: Zach Gomulka on January 29, 2008, 02:58:07 am That is one tough Fastback!!

Widen the rear wheels... add more backspace. That will pull the tire in the fender ;) Title: Re: Fastback Post by: bluestar on January 29, 2008, 03:42:06 am very goog feeling , so sexy , so cal-look !!!

Title: Re: Fastback Post by: Cheesepanzer on January 29, 2008, 04:38:43 am Very nice. I haven't always liked Fastbacks, but this one looks really well done. Makes me kind of think my garage needs another VW in it! 8)
Title: Re: Fastback Post by: lofty1971 on January 29, 2008, 09:58:18 am I love Type 3's and that is one very cool ride! Savannah or Sahara Beige? If he ever wants to sell it, let me know ;) Lofty Title: Re: Fastback Post by: outlaw on January 29, 2008, 12:11:44 pm I love Type 3's and that is one very cool ride! Savannah or Sahara Beige? If he ever wants to sell it, let me know ;) Lofty Think its Savannah but Iīll check, its the og colour although its been repainted once many moons ago and it didnīt really need it then to be honest. Doubt heīd ever sell it..........it gets more attention and affection than his wife ;D Title: Re: Fastback Post by: nicolas on January 29, 2008, 13:38:31 pm i think it is seasand... the colour mine was original. but it is very similar to savanah beige which is a exact colour for a 68 or 69 model.
Title: Re: Fastback Post by: Bryan67 on January 29, 2008, 16:17:38 pm Nice! It looks like mine. Only thing is mine runs a 1914 motor for daily driving.

If he ever wants to sell it, let me know ;) Lofty Can't be Sahara Beige... that color is almost green. Title: Re: Fastback Post by: outlaw on January 29, 2008, 18:15:03 pm OK, its savanah beige L620 and the car is a May 1968.

Savannah or Sahara Beige? If he ever wants to sell it, let me know ;) Lofty Can't be Sahara Beige... that color is almost green. I was being a clutz. ::) Meant Seasand or Savannah Beige. My old 67 Squareback was Seasand and it looked like that, but brain didn't engage properly when typing. Very nice though....... Title: Re: Fastback Post by: Bryan67 on January 30, 2008, 05:18:42 am How about a pic of the seat bases? How did you mount them? Did you adapt the seats to the stock bases?
