Looks like a good mission mobile :) what engine is it? 1.9 petrol? and has it got the funny gruncheon gearbox on it, the most useless gear in the world until it snows!

You know it! Wheels are first thing to sort out. then lower..... then use it!
I just thought it had much more going for it then the usual brit conversion sh!t, Holdsworths, Autosleepers and the like
My Great uncle approved, he had a split, 3 bays, 1 holdsworth t25, 1 t25 cheater, and t4 coachbuilt (which he apparently still has stored after only using it for a year!) so yeah, im happy!

Engines dead.... bollox
If DH wishes to fund it, I'm listening! :laugh:
Yeah mine! it'll be down on a flatbed next week, cheers! :grin:
Sound like a winner, bu don't Subaru engines melt fo fun too?
There was a really tidy job on one at whitenoise over the weekend, he just said he had to have the rad fans on a lot to keep it cool.

Bay or T25? The T25 is watercooled anyway and has a 16litre cooling system, so would be plenty sufficient to look after a 2.0 NA Subaru motor.

I think Jord's is an aircooled T25. Would need the whole cutting for the rad at the front and all the cooling system plumbed in. Still much easier than doing it on a bay or split though.
Well DH, thats a new standard 2.1 engine put in.
An is that supplied an fitted?
Tis coming home Tomorrow!! Woooooo!
Dave will be pleased.
:grin:

Yes, yes he will!

Yeah it's where she sleeps when I snore!
I've been productive today, removed the curtains and he window mesh things as they annoy me
I wanted to remove a few of the units too but the seem to be 6.5mm nuts, and do I have a 6.5mm socket?

It'll all be sledgehammered out by then. :grin:
Not allllllll of it :evil:
I do think we'll have to take the bed out though.
Thanks volunteer number 1!
I'd be a touch careful, if it's a genuine Vanagon camper then ripping out the interior might rather rip out all of the value in the thing.
Unless it's just a home-brew conversion.
Check how much it's worth at the moment before proceeding.

It's a proper conversion loike, but I'd have no idea how to value it. I'd love to sell it to be honest and make a T4 into a dayvan
Nah I'll just wait for DH to pop back in! :laugh:
I reckon it didn't even make it to the test
New holes, new screws, job done!
What a fcuking surprise!

Dude, it's been on the fleet 3 years!
Don't know if you could adapt a ragtop from an earlier bus or maybe even a polo?
I guess if from a polo it wouldn't really be long enough.

The roof from 2 polos!
