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..
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:

No probs, I will take a photo of mine tomorrow if you like - mine is standard with the basketweave door card.
^^^^^^^^ that would be tops Peter!
just trying to get my head around DC's
Hadnt forgotten, just misplaced the camera cord to download the photo..
^^^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.htm
Given 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.
