Aircooled - Type 3 squareback

[pandaboo]

Damn I've always wanted to build a type 3.. Except with an ej20 instead of the stock motor

[absentee]

lookin good, ive got a 71 square of my own that i will hopefully start work on soon

Dang dude. Great job so far

[M.Sam]

In for more. I love aircooled.

Pretty cool lookin'! Excited to see where this goes.

Now it's just a waiting game.
I have order some parts, most of the ones needed for it to run.
Clutch cable.
Bowden tube.
Brake lines.
Shifter bushings.
A few other bushings.
Once those get here I'm gonna see if I can get it running and moving under its own power. Need to install those and weld the manual shifter and stuff in.

Received wheels today for the squareback.
Also got all of the immediate parts that I needed.
Shift rod couplers and such.

1. Install belt housing.
2. Need to change the oil.
3. Spark plugs.
4. Install pedal cluster.
5. Shift rod.
6. Install Bowden tube.
7. Finish connecting clutch cable.
8. Finish manual conversion. (weld shifter top)

Should be able to try to move the car under its own will before the weekend.
Fingers crossed.

Looks like a great build, filled with some epic roommates. I'm jealous

Welding almost done for the manual conversion.

Got a little work done yesterday.
Welded in the manual piece.

Got fuel lines ran, fan housing on, wiring sorted.
Installed new parking/Emergency brake lines.

Tried to start last night, but ran into a wiring issue.
Once the car starts ill be picking a paint color and starting body work.
A few more things to iron out before then.

[Luke.]

Got a few things sorted on the car.
Printed a wiring diagram at kinkos and got it laminated.

Now I can start the car with the key.
I changed the spark plugs, swapped the points and the condenser.

Next list of things to do.
Fuel tank, filler tube, front and rear brakes and exhaust.
Then hopefully it's "drivable" to where it will be painted.
