VW T3 Transporter 1990, originally converted from a company called "Advanced" as a people carrier to ferry passengers to airport runs. Fitted with an LPG system that houses a big doughnut tank up front in the spare wheel hanger. This van was originally fitted with the 2.1 DJ engine code with AAP 5 speed gearbox. I sold the original engine to convert to a Golf Mk3 GTi 2.0 8V AGG engine code with 113k covered included in this sale. I spent a fortune on brakes overhauling the whole lot to include : BMW E30 brake servo (bigger and fits perfectly bind the clocks & brand new master Cylinder. Porsche 996 / Boxster S Brembo Monobloc Calipers, adapter brackets, 312mm Mercedes discs, and whole new rear brakes including back plates, cylinders, drums, shoes and all other associated parts to go with them.
Alloy wheels are genuine Porsche Cayenne 17" with 225 45 17 tyres, Falken front, and Continental rear. Rear trailing arms were solid so i dediced to keep them solid and had them acid dipped and galvanized to preserve them whilst fitting some expensive Powerflex poly bushes. Suspension is the H&R "Cup Kit", comprising of Koni adjustable shock absorbers, and H&R lowering springs. These kits are great to compliment these vans, a tad low on the front but if your sensible they will serve no problems being aware in uneven gradients. Interior has a 3/4 rock & roll bed which has two extra cushions that fit together when folded flat, with storage underneath with two small opening doors & 6x9 speakers either side of them. Up front are a pair of Ford Mk3 Escort Rs Turbo Series 1 Recaros in very respectable condition for their age. Gearstick has been fitted with a quickshift which makes gear changes so much better reducing unnecessary throw. The body on this van is pretty straight other than needing body panels / wheel arches where corrosion has set in at the usual places that these vehicles can suffer from. Front footwells are solid bar some surface rust but the offside front arch has been eaten away so need fresh metal in there. The tail gate is shot but a solid replacement is included in the sale with spar glass that needs primer finishing off and obviously needs painting inside and out after prep. Underneath of the van is very sound due to a generous application of underbody wax applied, i started to clean off the rear end after removing the engine and you can see how well preserved it is, my intention was to paint the entire floorpan with a rollover jig i bought (specifically designed for the T3 van) that i will be selling separately if that's any interest to anyone...? Viewing is welcome to anyone genuinely interested and further pics can be sent via email upon request.

Its not very clear if this is a runner or not. I assume not? How far has the conversion process got if not? Does it have MOT? Have you got the rear bumper?

No, there is no MOT or else i would have mentioned that, yes there is a rear bumper for it and rear lenses. Its not a runner, 8V Golf engine is included in the sale but is not fitted. I have other spares that i have to sell too that could be possibly sold as part of a package for the whole lot.
