Howdy all! - fraser - 29-05-2023 G'day all! Just introducing myself as the owner of Appa, our 1985 1.9L DH T3. She has a 5-digit odometer, but her records and the condition of the van point to only 108,000km. First thing we did was:
Basically, we replaced all of the deteriorated components and fluid that go along with sitting in a shed, barely used, for 40 years! We also had her up on the dyno getting tuned, and am very pleased that she's still producing 80HP (okay, it's not much, but she only left the factory with 83!) -- Had the pleasure of meeting Phil and Grant over the weekend when buying some parts, and they introduced me to KCA. They both mentioned the Winter Souk that was happening the following morning, so Bridie (my partner) and I jumped in Appa and came down to hang out again. If the rest of this community is half as welcoming as these gents, then I can't wait to meet and learn from you all. Cheers, Fraser, Bridie, and Appa RE: Howdy all! - Grantus - 29-05-2023 Welcome to KCA Fraser, and also a pleasure to meet you, Bridie, and your excellent condition bus, on the weekend! And a further welcome, to the KCA T3 Brotherhood! Enjoy the ride……. RE: Howdy all! - luckyphil - 30-05-2023 Hi Fraser, welcome to KombiClub. Was great chatting to you and Bridie on the weekend. You were very lucky to find such a well preserved bus. You are also doing all the right things to ensure it will be a reliable ride. RE: Howdy all! - Melissa - 30-05-2023 Welcome! So nice of you to join us here and look forward to meeting in person one day RE: Howdy all! - Oldman - 30-05-2023 Welcome to KCA Fraser…. Looks like you have yourself a great T3 there. Meeting up with Grant and Phil would have been the best possible welcome to our club . Both are well versed in the Dark Side of the Volkswagen stable…….the T3 and Phil is THE man for any T3 parts. Cuppa is a great place and I’m sorry I was unable to make the Souk…..but it does sound like it was bloody cold ! 0 degrees at 11 am is “brisk” in anyone’s books …..hopefully a fire pit or two were blazing ! Enjoy the ride…. RE: Howdy all! - Barry - 30-05-2023 G'day and welcome. I'm also part of the T3 side with an 89 Caravelle C You look like you are up for a bit of camping RE: Howdy all! - Wayne Murray - 30-05-2023 Welcome to the KC Hope you enjoy it wherever you take it. |
