Dirk doesn't know about that. He is very reluctant. This is hurting him far more than he is willing to admit.
He is walking around, secretly hoping to find a fasty hiding behind a bush, crying for him to take it home and fix it up all nice and sweet.

It has begun......, I have stripped the car almost completely. It needs a little bit of welding, I will post pics as soon as I can. Guys I need :zhelp: with a Rubber kit for the car (incl door rubbers and other seals) some small odds and ends. Will I have to Import or is there a cheaper way locally to get some parts for this car ?

Door and windscreen rubbers can be had from Pro Auto rubber. They sell generic rubber in metre lengths. Seems to work quite well.

All other Type 3 specific seals such as indicator seals etc have to be imported, unless you find good used locally.

Have you decided on colour and wheels for the Fasty?
