me van ,

heres my t3 van its the 1.9 wasserboxer (if i keep it for much longer though i think it may get a more powerful engine thrown at it ,)
mods so far have been ,
lowered
corrado door mirrors
nardi wood rim steering wheel
interior is half finished (will post piccies when its done)
i have been debating which wheels to go for on it and have discounted about 4 sets so far ,
think i have settled on a set of skool BBS /mahles that im in the process of polishing ,(though i am hanging onto the 17" nothelles just in case!)
anyway heres how it stands today
(click pics)



theres more to come as im waiting on a package from germany

and theres a new pair of seats waiting to be fitted
also if anyone happens to know of a diesel t25 in a scrappy around here or just very cheap let me know

its strubby airfield one of many in "bomber county"

heres a sneak peek at what im using in the interior

Cool, love vans. Looking forward to seeing the progress.

Uber cool.

Nice van fella. Always fancied one of these myself, but always seemed a bit impratical.

Needs rims and slamming even more!

impractical ! its a house on wheels!!,
will look into dropping it further on its arse if i keep it and ever get around to an engine swap (1.8t/vr6/2.2 audi/subaru/or maybe keep it sensible and go diesel)
and wheels aint going to be a problem (maybe today if all goes well! )

Cool. Get them on then get the pics up here!

Loking forward to it.

Nice van kidda

Very cool van, I love t3's

still aint got my wheels finished (currently running on 2 unpainted/polished bbs up front and standard steelies on the rear )
and everything that i have ordered for it has either not arrived or has "slight fitment issues"
it has also just had a full service at my mates garage (i will post some pics up of his cars next time he brings them out especially the mk1 hes building that is going for the concourse trophy at gti international this year )
anyway heres some pics i took today (click em they go big)


what do you think of my twin pod dashboard ? (again not finished but you get the idea,)

cool

its been a long summer and me van has proved a great purchase ,its taken me to festivals/shows and been my daily driver ,

got a few plans for it over winter i have collected everything needed for the engine swop (except the engine as i still cant decide what to go for i think 1.9td is top of the list for practical reasons but still with worthwhile bhp)

and theres some new wheels going on it soon (currently on mercedes slk rims )




on another note in may i said that a mates car was going to win the concours at gti international and he did !
heres his car

he runs a vag specialist garage near me and i think his quality of work speaks for itself so if anyone needs any work doing ....

i remember that car, absolutely stunning, does not come close...

What's his garage called and where is it?

the garage is called huttoft service station (catchy name!)
and its in ............huttoft !,
Its a small coastal village between mablethorpe and skegness ,
hes always busy but without doubt the best mechanic i have ever used in 12 years of dubbing ,He is capable of doing everything from basic servicing to full engine conversions to a very high standard ,previous cars have also won gti international and been magazine featured)

on another note ,these are what im planning as the "next" rims on my van what you think ? ,(bbs 8x16,et11,3"dish,and they stick out so far im going to have to have the sliding door modded so that it can go past them! there the same wheels as the black and polished ones pictured earlier but with a wider et and an inch wider rims )
dodgy camera picture

cool wheels

your mate looks like he knows what hes doing
