Took delivery last week on an orange 72 type III. The Fuel injection is in tact. I am very excited about learning this new mysterious creature. I am going nuts trying to get my beetle running but afterwards I will be posting like crazy to try to figure the beast out. Sorry but I am really stoked. I have wanted one of these cars for years. No pics yet b/c the car looks embarassingly bad. Later

Congratulations and welcome to the Type III world. Is it really a parts car with complete engine and trans, or is it just a bit discouraging right now?jeromeaircooled wrote:I'm going to hopefully get some picks up tommorow. A $200 parts car is essentially what this is, except it's got a complete engine and FI system, which is what I was looking for.

No I'm not discouraged and it's not really a parts car. Let's just say I will know the car really well when I get it back on the road. This was what I was looking for though. I'm still in type I world right now, but work will begin soon. My goal is to get it running by Christmas.
