Ritchie, Love this topic.
in the 90 s there was a dutch car(late notch) with a flat six in it...look so good.
would be one of my dream cars to have...
so keep the pictures coming.

Edit...Maybe I read it wrong...but is there a flat 6 coming in it or a big flat 4......?

Russel, your cars previous owner is a friend of mine. If i recall correctly he got it from the widow of the first owner somewhere in the south of Germany. Seems like ARPM motors came as an option in early Type 3s....

Yes it is. Engine and car was sold separately in the late 80:ies. The car was then raced by a couple of different owners with different engines. It was bought back by the original builder some years ago. Itīs currently without engine and gearbox.

Looking very good Russ,

Yesterday my April 1973 issue of Hot VW's finally arrived after all these years, and there's an article in their on Craig Fosters DKP Type 3 Panel Van on EMPI spyders!!  Where's speedwell with the pics?

I presume this will be ready for EBI, but what about Volskworld?

Lids

puppy and his crew along with Gavin are working flat out, im doing a little bit as well...... to get it completed for Volksworld, hope we do it if not it will be ebi2.

i think i still prefer a proper van with the pannels rather than covered up sides....

very nice work and i really love the project!

but i personally would have widened the type3 lid on top as is pretty small and not wide enough to work on the engine... sorry a bit late i guess...

otherwise i wouldn't mind to be seen in that car!!  Grin
