Nice purchase.

You cant beat a T3 for the internal space they provide and the ride comfort is great.

And with yours you still have an air-cooled VW flat 4!

started on Berties reno...the wiring...omigosh!...stripped out all the useless stuff added of the years and will come back to that...meantime...

removing whats left of the interior...ok I,ll pull the floor up...heheh not so fast or easy...10mm ply glued down with about ten tubes of liquid nails...wtf? Oh well all good fun!

moving right along slowly...some minor surface rust all treated and some old killrust silverfrost on it..

these T3s are great, there are many threaded holes in the back which is perfect for my plans. I want to do the interior in 3 or 4 modules which will only be held iby 3 or 4 bolts each
