I think it will be very similar to my SC build, but Matt has opened up my color scheme eyes a bit and may go with a nice gloss dark grey with some nice matt black rims.
I like the luxury of power windows , central locking and the VS short shifter is soooooo smooth that those items are in the build. I think I'm going to glass up a rooftop console with drop down screen n such for my lil terrors to keep amused on long drives
🙂
The cabs are so big in these things I need to place some nice vanity lights in the rear somewhere...
I'm sure lots of things will change in the build and this is more of a year long project I think.....
I'm excited 😀😀!!

I love the DC, you got a very nice project there, I will follow this tread.
One day I will have my own DC, its a dream. Power windows, new modern interior, subaru engine, air condition, etc..
A "car guy" from Sweden, I love Vee Dubs and Porsche...
I'm also an Auto Electrician in my profession.
allways good to see another DC on the road
hee hee,,, yep glad you got a DC Ian,,, we can do Dueling duel-cab shuttles :-)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ yo matt, have you got an original door panel I could get a template of on your DC, the main one is the crew door and maybe a pic of the interior and how it is arranged...as in door handle position and such............
or maybe i could swing by and check out the crew cab side of things and we could have a nice tall glass of lemonade or water........... 😂
chhers old man
If you are chasing a rear door for the DC - am pretty sure that BJ still has one for sale:

Hey Peter, thanks for the "heads up" I was more after what they look like finished inside, as in the door card and such.
I was looking for a front drivers door though so will pm BJ about the ones he has for sale....
cheers Ian
No probs, I will take a photo of mine tomorrow if you like - mine is standard with the basketweave door card.

^^^thanks chief, such a daunting project. single cabs are a lot easier I think.......these Dc's look really big and a lot of body work.
Hey ian, sorry i was a bit slow to respond to this, but you`re more than welcome to have a gork & copy templates & such man
anytime, just let me know when you`re ready
my DC is at Ferny hills atm getting a fresh-ish interior make-over so whenever you`re ready young fella :-)
^^^^^^ no worries Matt, and yeah I'll give you a yell when i need to look at how things work in the DC.......
sooooo, finally today I started to do some work, decided it was easier to buy new than to try and knock out the dents and such in the original....
human skin over exoskeleton ..... 😂
Late Type 2 skin needs a bit of modifying to get the 68-72 Look.... Hope you kept your old front..
Good luck with the build.. I had a 71DC for yonks and it was a top truck
^^^yup kept the old, and yes fitting is a bit of a pain, gotta cut out the indicator locators, gotta plate up the hi indicator holes, I'm not really keen on the VW emblem raised part but mehhh. I got plenty of time on this build so it's going to be a loooong thread 😂
yeah it just don`t look right with that raised bit in the center
Long thread, excellent!! I can see a lot of Saturady nights with beer in hand following this build. I'll be your cyber cheer squad 😀

just found this site , so cool for referencing
http://carblueprints.narod.ru/volkswagen.htmGiven that I am at this stage and doing the same thing to my front - more piccies - I am only averaging about an hour a week on mine so you will be ahead of me.
That raised badge section is annoying, but will have to go.

I am contemplating cutting it out and welding in the original piece from old skin.
Or maybe cut it out and smash in a huge roo shootin spotlight for those pig/roo huntin expeditions
this is my daughter at it......what a girl!!!
Hey MATT (mad matt) .....any chance you can swoon a deal with the girl and grab 2 of those SAAS seats for me at yr special price?.... Decided to go with 2 single seats and a step thru to the rear.
zap zap👍
good luck with that im sure alll that work will be worth it in the end. great to see another d/cab making it back
was that one Al had for sale ???
