First I think this website is terrific. I am considering purchasing a 65 type 34. The car is very solid but not everything is original. The engine is a 1600 not a 1500. The front seats are out of a non VW car and it has 4 wheel disc brakes with aftermarket wheels. The car is beautiful but at $10500 I would like some feed back from people that have more experience with these cars than I do. Any info would be appreciated.

thanks
Rick

The best way to give a proper evaluation on any T34 is to provide us with detailed photos & info on the T34 in question. Engine size is not an issue. "Seats from a non-VW car" sounds like a bad modification that waves a red-flag in most owners eyes. It all depends on what kind of T34 you're searching for, whether you want a customized racer or a stock/original driver. Where is the T34 located? Is there an ad for it you can share?

I do want to change somethings back to stock and am looking for mostly interior parts. It is in storage right now and can not wait for spring. I hope you have a Happy New Years!!!

Hi Rick, congratulations on the new car (and welcome to the Registry).

There is a gallery automatically created for you - to add photos simply select 'Add Media' from the drop down list and then click the 'Go' button - It should hopefully be pretty straight forward.

The link to your galery is - http://www.type34.com/mediagallery/album.php?aid=401&page=1

You can also get there by browsing to your name in the media galleries (Community > Media Gallery).

If you get stuck, give me a holler.

Mick.
