I'm starting to look for a good 2wd T2/T3 van/caravelle/doka.
Unfortunately work is getting in the way.

Phil,
 
Al from Das Autohaus is an excellent restorer.
 
He has done some amazing work.
 
The van will have a basically perfect body and Al is fairly good at mechanicals as well I have heard.
 
Well at least the body will be spot on.
 
That's a great price too for what is basically a fully restored vehicle.
 
However, good caravelles are going for next to nothing these days and I have a friend who purchased one about 18 months ago for $1K and it was in excellent condition - just need the brakes overhauled (that cost him $1300 - more than the caravelle).
 
Cheers,
 
Skot

Phill,

The attached pictures.

You might need to go into ‘Individual Emails’ to see them. Probably nearly all members use this function and attached pics come through with the email.
