Lownslow Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 the car is a Maisto VW the before pic was just me messing around with tamiya weathering powder. the color is british racing green, the trim was done in tin foil,pegasus wheels. i also swapped the windshield with clear styrene because it was a bit thick and i cracked it installing it. before after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigGary Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 You did a great job on the T-3. Most on this forum will not appresiate how rare the real Type 3 was in the USA. They were never sold here and the ones that are in the lower 48 probably came from Canada. I used to be really into VW's and a t-3 was very desirable.

Gary Really, wasn't aware of them being so rare.... I grew up with alot of my neighbors owning type III Notchbacks and fastbacks.... My father had a '68 Fastback when I was little, and that thing was durable to say the least( was still running strong only with 2 cylinders, when my Bro got it, and I have wanted another ever since)..... Very Nicely done Btw Low, that's how I prefer my Old Skool V-Dubs.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick F40 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Oh man, now this you reallt don't see, they are sweet when you see them over here, I love em, they make me want to get one bad! And yes, they are a rare one, as BigGary mentioned, and desirable, but still relatively cheap, if you can find one, yeah these aren't like Hemis.... The camber is outrageous, the finished is much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
