You can get the side molding new from West Coast Metric for $100 or so. the nose chrome thing is gonna be tough/expensive to get, no reproductions, hope to find one in a wrecking yard that doesn't specialize in VWs. You can get the windshield new, in So Cal at least, but I got a good used one from a VW yard.
The whole type 3 thing is the base of the car. All three models are essentially the same, until you get to the ass. Hence the designation of Squareback, fastback, notchback. Then there's the type 3 karmann ghia, but that is another story for another time. Check out
