Hello my Norvegian T3 enthusiasts :)

My name is Tõnis and I live in Tallinn, Estonia
Last year I sold my golf cabrio from year 1991 and found T3 Transporter syncro from Finland

Image

Engine is usual 1,6td
Difflocks in front and back
Tires 15" 215/70 Yokohama Geolanders
In finland it was railway service car
it was registered as a commercial car with 3 seats in front, but I wanted some more seats in it
It took me 2 months to get it with 6 seats in Estonian register
right now I use it as a daily driver.

Image

In summer one CV joint exploded when I was turning out from the parking slot

Image

After that I dessided to buy decoupler from Germany "syncroservice"

Image

Image

The future plans are to make some body repairings and repaint it
Next weekend I'm going again in Finland to pic up one more syncro with hightop and bouth difflocks

See You soon


Next summers plan is visit Norvegian fjords and hope to meet some of Your T3 enthusiasts.

Congratulations on the new car. Looks like a nice one.
I have never seen a wall like the one behind the rear seats before.
Did the car come like that from Finland?

And whats your plans with the hightop car?

Thank You

When the car was brought from Finland, then the wall was behind front seats.
But I wanted more than 3 seats in my bus.
The category is commercial car N1G, then there must be a wall behind second seats.
It was there as long as the car went trough registration.

With the hightop I don't know yet.
Will see, probably will sell it ;)

The Dj-s engine works so great, that I just like to hear it running.
There is small bodywork needed on syncro but nothing big.
Coach is 1,6td and is running great.
Only turbo is allmoust kaput.

It has been quiet from last post
The winter came to Estonia and it rely pist me off to drive 2WD if I have syncro.
At this saturday I took everything back to the car. On this time with decoupler.
Only problem was that I could not find the wire for the decouplers switch.
Everything works well. Even visco works properly.

4WD on winter time is pure fun :)
