Good choice. Stick with that T3.
Get yourself the right DIY-workshop manual (i.e. "Jetzt helfe ich mir selbst") and start improving your bus step by step. Maybe get a cheap used engine too and rebuild it yourself. By the start of your trip in 2018, you´ll have seen and done every critical spot and know the bus like the back of your hand. Nothing is more relaxing while on tour, than cursing every little screw by name.
BTW: I´d always prefer a pre-90ies, mechanically governed, Diesel powered vehicle, just because it´s easier to get Diesel from truckers, farmers or substitute it by veggie oil, if in desperate need and fixing them is no rocket science for every farm or truck vehicle mechanic.
Keep rovering.
