I recently made the questionably mad decision to take on the rebuild of a series 3 Dormobile. To say it is going to be a major task is somewhat of an under estimate. Pictures speak louder than words so here goes:-
Front end is now off and the wings were giving a good deal of support to whats remains of the chassis. All thats left worth salvaging is the roof (obviously!!), screen, rear tub, axles and springs and maybe wiring loom if I'm lucky, which generally I'm not!!
The vehicle did come with a second station wagon that is ropey its self but sits on a new marsland chassis thats ripe for some modification to take engine and gearbox of choice (existing 6 pot and series box or more likely tdi and 5 speed) and some galvanising before a complete ground up rebuild using as much of the dormobile as possible. Some othe bits of the "chassis donor" will be needed but what and how is yet to be discovered.
On the up side almost all the dormobile bits are present and correct (if in need of a bit of tlc!!)
Anyone got a six pot bulkhead?
