Lots of west coast rust free sheet metal on the samba, and most can
be shipped greyhound at reasonable rates

Hi  fellow lovers of the Type 3. I need sheetmetal, 70 fastback inner  
fender
front left. My new project has apparently had brake fluid dripping  for
years from the master cylinder thereby eating away at the inner fender  from
within the trunk. Could really use replacement sheetmetal from a donor  car.
 
Keep in mind that you're looking for a 1 year only part. I only say that as 
 70 was a major body year change to the larger front trunk, and the last 
year for  the hinge springs to be located on the rear wall of the trunk 
(torsion bars).  For 71, VW went to coil springs for the hood (laid
sideways), 
relocated the  brake res, and added the fresh air box hump. If you find a 71
to 
73 part, some  minor work will be needed to "convert" it to a 70 part. Dave 
Hall is correct in  that the box stiffeners cause rust on both sides of the 
metal in that area, so  you can't just blame the brake res for the rust.
I hope this helps.
