I'm in Adelaide, South Australia.
I'm keeping the floor, automatic transmission and engine. Everything else is for sale. It only had one owner. 1973 and she had only driven 63,000
miles. Full-service history, it has been serviced every three months.

DirkHedde I have a disability and am trying to build a car I can drive from my wheelchair. It needed to be old so there are less laws, less airbags,
less headaches from new cars. It needed to be automatic (obvious reasons) and it could not have a tale shaft because it would need the floor to be
too high. The type 3 was perfect. It was also advertised at the dealer for over a year and I tried finding just an automatic gearbox and pan before
we bought it. If anyone was going to restore it, they would have already got it. The more likely other outcome would be a teenager getting it as a
first car and trashing it. At least this way the parts go to enthusiasts and it's more like an organ transplant than a burial.
kombimatt I have already given some parts away and promised the drivers to someone when it is removed. All panels and doors are still available.
What do you think of $750?

That is TOTALLY cool - make sure you take some shots when you're finished!
Wouldn't a Kombi auto have been a good idea? You could have fitted an automatic ramp to the sliding door, made some internal cuts and Bob's your
Uncle! Just thinking out loud.

I originally looked at a kombi but I was told the driver sits over the top of the front wheel, so the floor cannot be flattened. This would have been
ok because we were going to make a new body and we would have just added a nose and I would go beyond the front wheels. So we were looking for both.
An automatic type 3 came up first. Which I prefer. It has better suspension and is smaller but not too small.
Will update with once we start the changes. The body is almost off.

I have seen a van used (not a Kombi) where the wheel wells were also an issue. They realligned the steering column, accelerator, brakes and gear
shifter to a driving position at the centre of the vehicle. Maybe less work than the body stuff you have planned?

We considered that as well, I'm roughly 150 cm (5 foot) in the chair (it's an electric chair) so every vehicle we have found so for either needs the
floor lowered or the roof raised to get enough head room. The modified body is probably the easiest part. I already have approval from transport SA
to make a custom body from fiberglass. It will pretty much be a type 3 beach buggy.
Thanks for the suggestions, I'll probably ask a lot of questions as we hit problems.
We almost have the body removed. Once it is off we will be installing a roll cage, flat floor and folding ramp. Then modifying the steering and
brakes (I'm adding electric power steering from the Holden barina). Then it is a quick test drive around the backstreet, wrap a fiberglass body
around the working bits and get it registered. (It's a little more complicated than that, but I thought I'd give a quick overview of what we are
planning)

They're a lot more open-minded about registering modified vehicles in SA. This sounds like a great project. With 5 foot clearance it'll look more
like a Baha'd Popemobile.

I know, it will be difficult to make it look good, but I don't think it's impossible. I currently ride in a sidecar with the same hight and
although it looks strange it's not as bad as the Popemobile.
