Type 3 specific forum
It'd be for all general type 3 modifications for GL. Brakes, trans, exhaust, etc would all fall into this category, but would address all the specific nuances associated with the superior ( ) type 3 platform.

Although I am looking more for a '75 Super Beetle for my GL project, I was negotiating on a Type 3 (and would have purchased it if the seller didn't try the ol' bait-n-switch). I would have found a GL Type 3 forum useful for a few questions I would have had. I think it is a good idea.

help me understand what you can't get out of the forums for a T3 the way they are setup now so i can understand the value of fracturing the site into many groups? my concern is that if we break off T3 then we really probably have to break off the rest and then you still need the same level of subcategories under each. then we have doubled and tripled the number of topics.
i am not directly opposed to it if it makes sense, but want to understand the value you see.

I dont think we need t3 specific forums, if we did that then we might as well be like Shop Talk and have all types (1 - 4).

Well, there's the front beam, the subframe which is totally different than the type 1 aside from the torsion housing and shock towers and the fact you can unbolt it from the pan, transmission mounts since there are no frame horns on IRS and basically none of the mounts will interchange, the exhaust needs for a type 3 body vs the type 1, the carb issue/fi issue with respect to height clearance, the cooling layout is totally different and requires a different scoop, the brakes are similar but all cabling is a different length, etc...
I could go on, but I just don't think it would be good to have all the T1 guys having to deal with type 3 questions and the type 3 guys wondering where to ask a specific question without it disappearing. Then again, there isn't a huge amount of traffic, so it could be just fine without it. Your call. I'm just a T3 fanatic. |

I like the setup we have here where instead of different type forums, we have the brake, suspension, engine, etc forums....
