Not a T3 but the daughter and I have to decided to build a splittie
First up we have built up the engine



This will be a nut and bolt resto

I predict it'll be over 100 pages by the time it's finished!

Merry Xmas!

and i bet if you subbed some of the work someone would still manage to screw it

Happy Christmas Tom! 100 pages minimum...
And Mike, lessons learnt. All in-house this time, will be built with our own hands. No '"specialists" allowed near it

So after a very filling dinner involving turkey, pigs in blankets, ham and stuffing me and Maia retired to the playroom AKA "garage" to carry on with the build.
The inner and outer sills went in pretty easy


and the rear bumper and exhaust bolted straight up

we then got on with laying the floor pans

and building up the rear corners

Front bumper and an expensive private number plate was next

after laying the engine bulkhead we called it a night

All is going well so far, all genuine VW parts, so fitting together perfectly

If only all builds were that straight forward!

Good work.

Good work.

It'll never rust either!

Got a little bit more done today, inbetween filling our belly's
hung the cargo door and fitted some shelves

and from the outside

made a start on the rear wardrobes

and got the kitchen sink in

We also squeezed in a second row of seats

We then got back onto the mechanicals and bodywork..and got the front doors hung

Then got the gearstick, front seats and steering wheel all in and working
