Ruby the Volkswagen T3 Vanagon

A lot of people have been asking why I would buy an old Van. It´s been a dream of mine to own a classic car and a van. The 1985 VW T3 Vanagon 1.9 WBX is both in one. I made this video to be able to remember where the journey of my van started and to show you the long way ahead before it´s finished.
With its rusty holes, flaking and matte paint, seals that are falling apart and a few oil leaks here and there it will be a treacherous journey to get it back to its former glory. The most important thing is that it runs and drives like a charm. Now the time has come to take it apart and start re-building and renewing it, while converting it into a campervan.
Hope you enjoy my video as much as I enjoyed making it!
Ps: some friends told me I should start a fundraiser to get the project done sooner, so if you would like to donate you can do so here: gofund.me/0f5e9bd6 :)

In Poland we say "jeździ, skręca, hamuje". Good luck in your project.

Best advice I have ever gotten that I can share with you, from two different people, is to do at least one thing a day for your vanagon (that's what we call them in the US, Van+ station wagon = vanagon). First guy also said I had too many VWs, I'm just going that...

[@dukes83]

Thank you! You’re absolutely right… it’s taken me quite some time to disassemble it (the interior for now). Little baby steps, but love the progress!

@@dukes83 ok, it has warmed up and I started working on mine yesterday -- so far, 2 days in and did something each day.... ECU is going in after I get the wiring harness grommet in place, it is fighting me, but it will LOSE....lol.
