Hi, we're selling our very solid early bay PROJECT - all welding completed, so an easy, clean completion possible.
History: It was imported from California in 2000, which is when we first bought it. In 2003 we sold it to a friend who had it converted to RHD and lowered. We then bought it back in 2005! So we've owned it nearly ten years. Three years ago we decided it deserved a full restoration. The chassis was professionally media-blasted clean and then professionally welded. We have purchased hundreds and hundreds of pounds worth of new parts for it. Currently it's awaiting a spray-job and a re-fit. As far as full restorations go, this is an easy one for someone to complete. All the welding is complete and 99% of the parts are present and clean. So it's a clean spanner-only restore!
Location: Dumfriesshire (southern Scotland).
Price: £4,500.
Some details:
G'reg, Californian import (2000), RHD conversion.
Professionally welded, rot-free.
Deluxe chrome trim, bumper over-riders, quarter lights.
'New' VW Mexico 1600cc long-block (2002 - less than 10,000 miles).
Full width, Westy R'n'R bed.
Lowered suspension.
Here's a bunch of photo's as it is now. (I've included some photo's taken during the restoration for peice of mind):

A brief list of new parts includes:
new wiring-loom, shocks, bearings, bushes, ball-joints, deluxe windscreen chrome surround, sliding side windows, many rubbers, S/S nuts'n'bolts, etc.
I'm part way through digitising all the bagged components. Some parts can be seen here:

Exterior info.:
Fully professionally welded. Body was rolled using manufactured rollers, the chassis was professionally shot blasted and treated/painted with POR15. The body is awaiting bodywork (filling/flatting) and painting - this is where our finances failed-us!
Interior info.:
Front seats are adjustable from a T3. (T2 runners where removed, I so regret doing this!)
Full width Westy Rock'n'Roll bed, nothing further.
I planned to replace the roof-liner and door cards, although the old ones are serviceable and could be re-fitted.
Known issues, required/missing parts:
Windscreen (I broke it on removal!)
T2 seats and runners (T3's supplied)
Bizarrely the registered body type is: utility vehicle. (Original forms/papers included).
Multiple workshop manuals, VW restoration specific books included - as we're completely selling-up.
I'd appreciate your comments. If it doesn't sell, we may consider selling the body and parts separately.
Many more pics here:
