Well, I set outto the event - Surrey Street Rodders' Wheels day – in the Fastback and got a few miles down the road when i smelt petrol. Stopped to find one fo the fuel lines weeping like crazy. Headed to Autocavan (I had a key for the workshop) and changed the hose before carrying on to the event. It still had the automatic trans,then, as well. VERY early photo. Thanks for the link. I think I'll be spending some money on their DVDs!  |

Here's a rare shot of Bill Schwimmer taking "Pepto" for a ride at Carlsdirt.  I took this shot back in 1984. Running a little rich...  That's the car that did it for me.. Bill looks as though he may be sporting a moustache... |

Could this one also be classified under the 80'ies type 3?
This one was built in de US and was powered by a flat 6 Porsche engine and gearbox on solid mounts. It featured some customs tricks.
In the mid nineties the car came to Belgium and was purchased by Koen from a Begium vW shop Geko tuning. Porsche engine and gearbox were removed and a strong type 1 powerplant and gearbox was fitted. In this lay out the car was featured in Super VW magazine.
Later on, when GEKO stopped its activities, my friend Pascal bought the car from Koen, drove it like that for a little and started the rebuild with new paintjob.
About one year ago Pascal sold the car back on the Steve from Steve's VW shop.
First pictures was a Pascal bought it and the second was after the respray in Champagne together with my 65 1500S.
If anyone has more info about who had built this notch over in the states, I would be happy to hear it.

Hi Nicolas, No, I didn't make it to the T3D this year unfortunately, but I know who you mean though. Sounds like you met a guy called Danny Lord. He has photo albums of Fastbacks, Notches and Variant/Squarebacks stretching back over the years. |

A few from the early Bug Jam shows in the UK:  That red square is one of my fave 80`s cars ever! I`ve also got a pic I took standing in almost the same spot that one was taken - spooky... Its now mat black with a red `flake roof, its been passed around a few owners in the past couple of years & is back up for sale now.I really thought about buying it, but with 3 projects already its just not going to happen! Oh, check out my fastback thread in the projects section if you want to see what `fast company` looks like now |

Oh, check out my fastback thread in the projects section if you want to see what `fast company` looks like now hey could you send me some detail pictures of the front turnsignals? i will change the lights eventually to lucas round type for an better balance between the front and back. the back doesn't have the reflectors and the front will look a bit too 'full' with full bumpers and the lights imho. but it seems to be harder to find a good location of the blinkers as the front curves differently as opposed to a beetle. thanks allready nicolas |
