I don't own one now but still have a bit of knowledge of their innards and I know a lad that has a couple from that era. It'll take a while to get his details as I haven't seen him for a bit but I can put you in touch. Fun cars to work with I have to say.

I am obsessed with these T3's and i suppose it's all part of the joy when things break or need a bit of repairing. I like that idea of helping out in a garage for some basic training:) i might look into it!!! The problem here in Ireland is that there are very few T3's and multivans so they manage to go for a lot more than they would actually be worth, say in the UK or Germany. I know your's is a T4, sorry Multivan:o but you could also check outhttp://newforum.80-90.co.uk/index.php a wealth of info!http://www.vwt4ownersclub.co.uk/

Im mad for the T3´s as well, i joke with the Girlfriend that its my porn ha ha im on the laptop looking at mobile.de and im like ooooh aaahhh qqqwwuaaaaahhhhh. I have a Toyota Corolla that im trying to shift for about 1800 once i get rid of that ill probably look to buy a T3 pritch! "crew cab" or even a multivan, I let a clean white T3 slip through my fingers in germany with a brand new engine in it! the dealer couldnt understand why anybody went to that length to put a new engine in a 1990, I knew but i couldnt bend my GF ear in time to catch it before it was sold!!! DOH!!!!! then i got my T4 Multivan

So much effort to get it back to its former glory and i'm having a couple of problems with lights just to get the engineers report and then get insurance. It's so frustrating to have this in the garden the past 3 months and not be able to drive it!!! I'm not in Waterford but i sometimes do a bit of surfing in Tramore. I'm up the road in Dublin and like you i was looking for a (T3) club but not happening so i just surf all the VW websites to try and build on my knowledge.

Now having said that, if if it was to sell for 2.5k and a thousand spent on repairs and get the thing ready to go for the spring, you'd have no problem selling it for 5,6 even 7k!! I considered this but i don't have the space nor the funds right now. I have bought the VW camper and bus mag and it is pretty cool, lots of info.. I'm currently setting up a website/blogspot to document the story of the van which should be interesting as it has had way too many setbacks... I'll post up a link as soon it's all ready;)
