Forum improvements
I hope I do not upset anybody but why is this forum not more like the Sambahttp://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/ one with a breakdown of topics specific to the aircooled models, bug, bus , T3 etc ? and also
even a classified section. As these cars become rare it is of course harder to find the pieces you might like. There's plenty of it on the Samba but
I imagine there are plenty of parts kicking around in Australia too.

If all forums were the same that would be pretty boring now don't ya think?
I like this one. Everything you need is here as far as info is concerned. Although I don't post here much, I find myself visiting almost everyday to
scour the pages, especially the tech stuff.
At the end of the day it's the peeps that make a forum, the ideas, the knowledge, the sharing - not the way it looks.
Just my opinion.

I think that it's more the way it works than the way it looks.
I like T3's but to find like minded posters I need to look through so much other stuff.
To have your own place in the forums makes you feel a bit more welcome, maybe??

If you are talking Vanagon T3's them we are a rear breed here in Aust.
There is a water cooled section here and the T3 world is growing.
Personally i just have several forums for different cars and aspects of them
Oh yeah.... welcome

68 T3 Notchback.
Just bought this one a few weeks ago, it's a bit of wreck but I can drive it to work if the weathers good.
I need a boot lid.

There is a Type 3 and Karmann Ghia's section? I think you will find exactly what you need here if you explore it properly...

Welcome cruiser.
T3 is Transporter Generation 3 (A type 2 to make it more confusing) Sometimes also called a Caravelle or Vanagon.
Type 3 is what you have.
