After more than one year hard work, to get the Germany registration and restoring the whole bus, incl. one holiday in South Africa to get some good contacts and spare parts, my bus is finish.
I love the 5 cylinder sound. |

Very nice! I just wish mine was that shiny. Unfortunately, after close on 4 years on a restorer's waiting list, and many failed promises, I have now accepted that mine will be staying rusty
Look after yours, it's gorgeous! |

@Wychall
Try to keep your bus in good conditions. VW SA only build 45000 big window busses in 11 years. A very rare car! @T3 Nev Yes this is the original color tone, 058 - wildfire met. |

Well worth the hard work. I'm glad it found a good home !
I will never forget taking it to Dunkirk...or rather getting home from Dunkirk on my bicycle ! Hopefully I'll see you & the bus at a German bus meeting next year. Mfg Charlie |

Lovely job ! Obviously a lot of hard work has gone into it. Not to mention money.

Thank you very much! I also remember Dunkirk in May 2015 very well. Would be great to meet you next year Charlie! I think we can talk many hours about the T3.
