Saying hi. I picked up a 79 lt28 diesel in Maine, USA.
Need to find a photo of how the interior is set up. It came with 1 cabinet which I have no clue where it goes. Started sanding it down (typical areas where the panels meet)

Thanks

That cabinet comes from a T3/Vanagon Westfalia. Do you have the 2 liter petrol or the 6syl 2,4 Diesel?

Wov, i thougt the Perkins engine went out of production when the 6syl CP engine was introdused for the model year 1979. But acording to Wikipedia, they continued offering it until nowember 1982, when they, from december 1982 only produced 6syl engines that were leaning to the right.

At least it is as easy to get parts for the Perkins engine in the USA as it is in Europe, almost impossible.

I wish it was easy I had to order glow plugs from the uk.. the local perkins dealer can not get them anymore.
