RA28GT

Type 3's are coming back baby.

Well the floor pan is 100% sealed. These cars FLOAT! But sadly no, it just looks like a boat without a front bumper, and shit 'project boat' just sounds cool.

Big plans. Going in a different direction than normal.

Now comes with early bumpers and orange spotlights! Can possibly come with 14x6's as well. Troy

Finally! Heres the updated pictures of changes. Bumpers have changed. Wheels have changed. Its now running 3" flappers rear and 2.5" flappers on front but can be changed to equal size if the new buyer prefers, but I'm liking the larger ones on the rear! Ive painted the wheels so they next to new, yes they are grey! I'm loving the contrast between the white and grey but could always be changed. Other thing is I've just had her tuned so its running very well. The car is now basically original! New pics also show imperfections in paint too, minor cracking here and there. Many more pictures available to interstate buyers on request!

Quads look funny but their different it takes the squareness out of the front end. Fender mirrors look good, alot more people are rocking them on here these days.

No.

Thanks mate, although this is a different one. I keep buying cars and have sell myself short on time.

For Sale 1970 Volkswagen Type 3 Fastback TLE Very rare EFI model Mechanical: Engine runs fantastic, still runs the original EFI 1600 which is very rare these days. The engine was rebuild in 2003 and has done approx 30,000miles since that time. Runs strong with a 4speed behind her. 4 Speed also in good condition. Body and Paint: Original paint and body, minor dents here and there, next to no rust anywhere, only rust is very small bubbles behind drivers side rear guard. Paint is in good condition for age although has minor cracking on drivers side. The current bumpers will be changed before the sale also, will come with overrated condition standard bumpers. Structurally next to flawless. Wheels and Suspension: Pictured is my 14” wheels however the car will be sold with standard 15” rims with 3” whitewalls and good tires, which look fantastic. Suspension has been dropped 1 spine on rear and 3 on front. It’s quite low but still drives very well, not overly harsh. Alignment is good. Interior: Interior is very much original. Trims is quite good and seats are very nice for age, the drivers seat however has a couple rips but still looks respectable. The original dash pad has some cracks through it, mostly small, I ran the car without the pad and it looks great. New parcel shelf installed as well. Original carpet is ok but has a couple small tears. Overall one of the tidiest and rarest type 3’s getting around. Always attracts an amazing amount of attention and even won Best Modified Type 3 in day of the VW 2010. Very easy restoration for someone or jump in and drive for years as is. This car is what you see is what you get its original so there is no hidden surprises. Only reason for sale is that I have picked up another fasty I would like to restore, so I’m in no rush to sell this one. After careful consideration of the about and how original the car is (once bumpers and wheels are changed) the asking price is $4500o.n.o You can contact me on 0431 290 861 anytime Located North of Adelaide. Troy *Please note the car will be for sale in approx 1-2weeks time, the thread will be updated once wheels and bumpers have been changed*

Holy shit. 10/10 for effort.

Hey guys i need my front and rear guards rolled on my RA23 for when i lower it. Can anyone recommend anywhere? Cheap is good :wub: but i also want a good job done. EDIT: After doing some research into this it seems Joe at Wheel Worx is the man to see, hes done my supra before and done a fantastic job but he charges for it these days. $300 for all guards rolled! Ill see if you guys have any more suggestions if not ill go there.

No holes its just dirty. Its original exhaust! I might change the exhaust soon I'm not sure though, might just run a resonator and some stainless tips.

Yep wont be going mental low, my vw is good for that. Probably 2" all round? Thats the plan Luke :)

Heres the new wheels! Very happy with them! Pretty subtle fitments, nothing insane as its a daily.

Ohh their not my wheels, their Lukes 13x7's I test fitted to calculate how wide i could go! Ive been around to two tire places this morning and both refuse to fit 195's to an 8" rim! same with my 175's to my 7's. This is starting to get annoying....,

You mean this one? Ill have some pictures later this afternoon. For now the specs are: Sportmax/XXR 513's Gunmetal Center 15x7 +15 Fronts (with an 8mm spacer) with 175/55/R15 15x8 -+0 with 195/50/R15 I wanted to get the wheels inside the guards since this a daily driver hence the 15x7's on front. I could of got 15x8's on there but it was out the guard about 20mm.

Been doing some mechanical work on the celica lately. Brand spanking new: Radiator Water Pump Thermostat Hoses Carby (fully rebuild) So shes running beautifully! On a more exciting note new my wheels rocked up today, I'm getting tyres today and will have pictures up shortly. Their nothing nuts but they will do the job nicely!

They will stick be sticking out the rear about 10-20mm with 165's :D

Defiantly something to consider down the track! For now ill be happy with my 'poomax' wheels.

Looks good man. How are you planning to run those superlites? Some guard work there?

I would do that if i wouldn't get defected for pulling out my driveway! Since this is my daily I'm doing a more toned down version. 15x8 rear and 15x7 front (on their way) GT lip GT decals Fender mirrors Possibly GT rear spolier? That 22 has my dream wheels SSR Mk2's, if i ever see the right size for me ill buy a set and ditch my cheap wheels that are coming.

They wont have them in stock. They can all order them however. Their are two pin sizes, one to suit borg warner and one to suit jap diff as far as I'm aware? May be wrong but there are defiantly two sizes.

Awesome. Well said all round too.

Couldn't make it today guys as i had a last minute family emergency :) Hopefully make it for JDM day.

don't most flappers all look the same? A white circle? haha Nice score by the way Nick.
