Nice to see someone save this 1964, Ferdi! Looks like the original blue cloth seats & Cerulean Blue interior panels are still there even if they are a bit rough. I'm sure you'll find a lot of good advice & spare parts from T34 World members. Welcome to T34 World! It's always a good idea to keep an image of the goal on your refrigerator ...

The car is sold as complete. But today the shipper had send me some pictures from the car. It is far from complete, the seller had put out the engine and i am missing a lot of interior and exterior parts! The seller is a crook! I am angry and disapointed now. So i will need parts. I am out of monney now, so i need some months to save a bit. ( this is not a good start

Ferdi, I'm working in Los Angeles today and will be happy to visit your T34 on my way home to inspect it for missing parts. I have spoken with the shipping agent and confirmed that I'm able to inspect it. I'll take photos and make a list of the missing parts.
Getting the engine installed into the T34 IF the seller finds one is not going to be easy. I would be surprised if the seller would install it for transport to Holland. Maybe you can pay a mobile mechanic to install the four bolts onto the transmission housing only so it will travel with the T34.
Update: so I visited your T34 this afternoon at the shipping agent's yard. It was not different than the photos I'd seen of it, so nothing has been removed. It's engine is indeed missing. Many parts are crammed into its interior. The glovebox has its rear scripts (except the S emblem) & front nose emblem. It's a numbers-matching T34 with unmodified VIN plates.

Normaly it`s not a great problem to put the engine in the back of the car where it belongs ...
If it doesn`t work and the car arrives in Europe you can mail me so that we can look for an engine if you still need one . Maybe I only have a 1600cc , but if this is still ok you can buy it and after completing and controling you can install the motor . Also if we have to change to 6V . I have some mechanical parts because I`m in the type 3 - scene for 27 years now . I`m living in northern germany near Kiel at the baltic sea . Please ask if you need info or help or parts . Jürgen

Yes, it's possible to put the engine into the front footwell space then put the front beam & passenger seat into the rear area of the back seat. The floorpan on the rear footwell & battery area is very rusty, so I would not put the heavy engine there.
