What did you do to your kombi today ?

Well done Phil! 

Nothing nicer than driving a proper healthy T3!

You can drop by anytime, and bring the window to get it sorted.

If not, when you are ready, let me know and I’ll post you my cord and insert tool, that I did my windows on both the Velle & SC. Much less swearing than “weed trimmer line”, and more than happy to lend it to you.   

Thanks a bunch Grant.   The window isn’t really a big priority but an excuse to catch up with KCA buddies.

Wow Phil, that’s a lot of work !!!
Nice to have the contacts and workshop facility to make it all happen, hey.

Yes it is.  Andy had a lot of the prep work done before I arrived ie had the lower ball joints already installed in spindles and the sway bar fitted up and ready for installation.  And as usual all spray painted so all looks like new.  Really happy with the results.

Thanks Grant.  It drives real nice and believe it or not when you put a little bit of weight in it the ride is even nicer.

Doesn’t surprise me - like a truck!

Any trucks I’ve driven, no matter how large, sit and handle the best, with around 60% load capacity on board.

I had a spare rear kick panel from a T3 so I cut it down for my bay. Now I have a bit more storage space where stuff keeps falling out.

Needs to be shortened in width and height a bit and you need to relocate the clips as T3’s have 2 supports and bays 3 
That was a pain as the fasteners are more of a rivet rather than a pop rivet. 
I found some low dome hex bolts as you need to not encroach on the clamp / leg space

There is a bit of a cut out on the far side as that is from the air cond pipes. 
“One day” I will do something.

Looks really good!

Replaced the two cast aluminium pole hinges on the rear awning.
Same issue as the side awning….hinges need to flex to allow slope in the awning sail. The stock aluminium castings are rigid and do not flex.
Bought a pair of Darche Super Flex Hinges and swapped the aluminium ones out….
Took all of 10 minutes all up and the awning can now be pitched at as steep an angle as I wish, without stressing the main hinge point.
Highly recommend this modification, the hinges are available from a number of places but I used Snowys Outdoors:

Great price, great service.

Nice to get out in a Kombi  .
