Yes Joebus,
I consider your bus an excellent find even not running. Sorry for the confusion.
Wow what a genuine article.
1 of only 89 special syncros.
I would love to have one myself.
I have an extra 1989 model year fuel injection harness removed from a running T3 that’s all yours for the shipping cost from Maine, USA.
I think I might be able to fit it in a USPS medium flat rate box.
Have faith. You will start that engine and that bus is well worthwhile of any efforts in restoring.
Stay too blessed to be stressed. |
One to another, what a class move. Awesome.

Jesus! Is it one of the 89 from 92?
Suspense is killing me.

Thanks KC86!! You the man  |
Just to clarify that you're partly correct in her being awesome. |
Ooops, Sorry Mame!! Sincere Apology! I agree with the class move too!! Very rare indeed! That is LOVE one another!
So hopefully found the cause, burnt wires in the harness!! Initiated a recovery action, unfortunately the cause still bothers me!! Also, could be computer be damaged???
Will find out when attempting to start again, hopefully this evening!!
See below!
About the 89, sorry brother, no clue, not really interested whether or not! Does not have the knowhow to find out! Trying to get my car moving 
Will keep you updated! |

Apologies, was away all day yesterday.
Thanks for taking the time to post the photos of your front suspension joebus. From what I can see, it’s got a 1992 VIN and it has the factory fitted strengthening plates around the front suspension, I would say it was one of the 89 big window syncros. Joebus has a collectible bus, hopefully he will quickly get it up and running so that he can finally start enjoying it!
I'm hoping to get my SA T3 back on the ground again tonight, maybe then I can get access to test the connections in my "DJ" harness and provide you with some comparison figures when you test your repaired harness? I would hate to see it burn up again. |

Hi Orange,
Was wondering what happened to you!! Mine is registered as a 1989, would you then say it is (or should be a 1992) not that it matters, since you mention 1992 VIN!
Otherwise the comparison figures would be excellent!
Thanks a lot for that offer!
E1, just wanted to know at least which continent on earth!! 
Cheers for now! |
