Met Colin at Deva Dub show a couple of weeks ago and he gave me the run down on this sweet ride.

Colins words -

After 8 months and lots of sleepless nights my fastback is finally nearing completion. I still need a couple of things but i took it for a test drive to see if it all works as it should. I fitted a beetle balljoint beam with drop spindles and honestly the car drives better now than when it had the type3 beam fitted. Previously with the type3 set up it was down three splines at the front and was sat on the bump stops so the suspension was non existant. Now with the beetle set up the bump stops are in the shockers and the car has a couple of inches of travel before it hits the bump stop, which in turn keep the car about an inch from the tarmac. The car is unwelded and rhd with a stock 1600 twin carb engine.
