You may stray off-topic about the VW T3 Rally Bus, but not about that G which belonged to one of the stand neighbors and is completely standard, too.

Did you get any more photos of that VW bus?

 

[bobDog]

LOL! Yeah we all want know about the bus.....give it up and get it over with. More pics....more info.....we know you...you have it all. ;>/

 

[Oilworker]

Okay, because you insist and its another 2 weeks before I will continue with images of my 130CC-R(hino).

The VW T3 Bus is the project of a good friend of mine, Bernd Jaeger.
He build his very first T3 rally bus in 2006 to demonstrate the capabilities of the VW T3 Syncro.

The success of the first bus subsequently led to further development over the years and in 2010 he decided to build the current Evo 2, this time with a full space frame...

He first raced the new T3 Syncro late 2011 and the more he races the better and faster the car currently becomes.

Here some more technical stuff

...created this logo

...and finally some images from this year´s rallyes...

Love it! Thanks for making that post, and for keeping us updated on your 130 (and travels) ... this is one of those threads that I get a little excited about, when I see new posts. Cheers.

Hi Robert,

Found this on Black Landy and thought of you...

http://www.blacklandy.eu/blboard/fo...mobil-235-2L&p=1033210&viewfull=1#post1033210









I remember you were talking about a Maltec cabin on the back and this reminded me of that conversation...

 

[Oilworker]

Yeah, I did think about that and played a bit with Photoshop, but I decided against that and Amadeus Matzker took up the idea and is now working with Maltec to build fantastic 110 Camper Defenders.

But beware, don't you venture too far into Blacklandy Forum, you may discover a few utterly amazing campers build on 130CC´s.

Hi Robert,

Oh, LOL ! Thanks for the "warning" about BL
I've already gone much too far into that forum, especially the 130 section :Wow1:

Please can you point me to where I can learn about Amadeus Matzker's Maltec Defender Campers ? (I did not see anything new on the Maltec website)

Thanks !

Frank,

it´s easy if you know where to look

Amadeus Matzker named it the "mdx" and you can find all the info on this website:

This is another really well build camper, based on the 130 TD4 Puma
