This is the "home" of the Type 3 specimen on the internet. Here you'll find instructions on how to subscribe to the Type 3 e-mail list (a vital resource for every Type 3 owner). You can also search the archives for past discussions or visit the "Owner's Manual" for information on the Type 3. There are also tech and classified sections.
	Dave Hall's website is a virtual encyclopedia of information on the Type 3 and Type 4 VW. If you're looking for paint or engine codes, wiring diagrams, a list of factory options or just about anything else, you'll probably find it here. There's also a parts interchangeability list in case you can't find that Type 3-specific part.
	Toby Erkson's website is a must-see for any Type 3 owner. Check out the "Tuning Click-n-View" for pages and pages of technical information on your Type 3, along with "lightside" and "darkside" information and customizations.
	Aircooled.Net has a baker's dozen tech articles, all of which are thoroughly detailed. Some cover basic maintenance items, while others will show you how to squeeze every ounce of power (safely) from your aircooler.
	John's original page is no longer online, but it had great info on suspension theory, composites, aerodynamics and more, along with his progress with '66 Squareback, "Sophy" — who we found on The Samba! Also check out his fantastic VW artwork.
	The VW Type III org site has a great technical section -- practical DIY guides covering everything from rust repair and water leak fixes to seat recovery, dashboard work, sunroof reconstruction, and seatbelt retrofitting. A solid hands-on resource for keeping your Type 3 on the road.
	Rob and Dave's "Pages for the ShadeTree Mechanic" are a must-visit if you're at all new to aircooled VW's. Most of the information here is beetle-centric, but can also be applied to the Type 3 as well. Although Dave is unfortunately no longer with us, Rob maintains the page in tribute to him.
	If you need manuals, here's the place to get them. Haynes and Chilton have been the go-to names in automotive repair manuals for decades, and their VW collection covers Beetles, Karmann Ghias, Buses, and more. Step-by-step procedures with photos for everything from routine maintenance to full engine rebuilds.
