It doesn't look like it needs that much doing to it!

There is always a reason for a Doka.
From that one pic it looks like a ton of work to me though! Get stuck in!!

Bought it to help my brother with his extension, (get loads on the back), thought it would be a nice cheap-ish run about . Also i fancied having a go at spraying and A BIT of bodywork, now the extension is second on the list . Was just going to get rid of some rust and paint it, but having been on this forum everyone else puts so much into their T3's i am going to have to put a bit of effort in . |

They are pepper pots made by Atiwe, i think they were an option in this country but could be wrong (usually am). I am missing a centre cap, and have been looking on the web for one, if any body has or knows about any let me know. Thanks for your replies will put something more interesting on later. |

Did a bit on van over weekend. Decided to do both rear wheel arches the off side one was beyond repair once i 'd ground through the "surface rust" . The near side didn't appear to be as bad till i realised most of it was filler and fibreglass . So got replacement arches for both. Roughly cut off old arch After further grinding/cutting I was left with this hole! The corrosion caused by dirt and water building up that made its way down air vent and had not been cleaned out. There was quite a bit of dirt and also something I didn't expect! I cleaned out all I could and made patches for holes, before welding in new arch. New arch in Couple of dents that need a skim of filler on where I had to persuade panel in. Not a perfect fit but when it cost less than £30 not bad at all. |

Nice work on the rear arch. Much better than filler and fibreglass.

Not sure what colour to paint bumpers (or the T3 ) Locker catch mounting not in good condition so rather than patch it, thought I' d grind it off and make another one. Previously been patched, too rusty to save. Its not going to be quite as easy as I originally thought some more cutting and bending required. The factory mounts are quite "contoured" at least the one on the drivers side is in good condition to copy from. Hopefully I'll post some pictures of finished mount when it's done. |

One of my mates just got a new panel for the locker catch from his local vw main stealer.
They only had one in their warehouse from someone who ordered one years back and never collected and they are now obsolete from VW. |

Last post was about the locker catch mount, i fabricated one but it looked shit so a bungee is keeping it shut till i come up with a better idea I ve nearly had it for a year and its still a million miles off but still using it to get to and from work and picking my son up, he loves going in it Thought i'd do something with pick up bed, been repaired at front before but needed doing again. Before the butchering! Didn't have a spot weld drill but because ofthe size of the repair spot welds i don't think it would have helped! Trusty grinder saved me again Got a bit bored of grinding but interest of what was underneath kept me going All cross members in good condition, except the one that the front panel and rear panels sat on 3rd one from cab well and truly fooked! needs new piece making, ordered some 40 x 40 x 2.5 box today. (thinking about widening engine hatch, never know when you might need to drop something else in) All ready for cross member repairs and rust removal of seams from the inside |
