Cool ride Felix!
What did you use to construct the walls? It looks like some kind of composite layers with Fiberglas on the exterior.
Thanks |
That's right!
Extreme lightweight panels with fiberglass.
Another special.
Interior under construction.

I would say none. The newest of them is build in 1992, and at that time it was not common to install 3 point harness.
Upgrade to a T4 TDI Karmann Colorado with 3 point harness from new. And the back seats in the middle, not far away in the back. If you have the "normal" T3 layout you will need 3, 3 point harnesses in the back for when your wife (or you) sit in the back and take care of the kids. I would say thees T3 Coachbuilt are child unfriendly. This is one of the main reasons i bought a 87 Karmann LT L with the back seats in the middle, and not a Gipsy

Thanks for your input , in that case they are safer in my bay with child seat fixation and 4 point harness 
In that case i have to think about it again. |

Dayamn...that's the shit. It's begging for a TDI install.
I really really really want those headrests for my Bluestar. I've seen the standard pads, but never in the striped upholstery. So cool.

Totally!!! Its already a diesel! So you use all the diesel specific parts and install the TDI AHU, chip the ECU and you are set! |
Yeah, you need a chiped eTDI, bigger Bfgs, 3 diff locks, power steering, AC, ...
Or you drive it how it is to a beach an be happy.
Upps, i forgot the EGT gauge  |

Sure, it also could use AC, PW, PDL w/remotes, PM and a double DIN stereo with a rear view camera.
Aren't single cab Syncros actually kinda rare as it is?

In Future we will need to be happy with less things instead of more.
Time will teach us.
What do you mean with "as it is " ?
Cant see any special. Seats and some interior parts are not original, well,
The only rare and nice is the cabin.
You cant say alot about rust from the pictures.
I think my Sika is in better rust condition.
Have asked the seller how much he want for the cabin. No awnser till yet. |
