Damn good choice horney, T25's rock!!!
Is that a set of merc pentas on it there??? Got a set of merc SLK rims that will be going on my 25 next month.
Check out these two sites:
http://www.club80-90.co.uk/menu1.htm
http://194.242.159.246/brickyard/index.htm
Both are pretty much run by the same people and have very useful forums.
Simon at brickwerks is the guy to speak to if ya need parts or want ya van lowered etc.

Cheers Tobz! Yup they are merc wheels. I paid £900 for it with 10 months mot and 6 months tax. THere is very small amounts of rot on the rear seams above the wheel arches and a few stone schips on the front, other than that it looks good, especially underneath. THe inside looks mint, no rust at all!
I'll check out those sites. I think the guy I bought it off in heavily involved in the brickyard site.

nice one nick, i can almost smell the bacon butties!! :drool:

Nick if you've got a bit of seam rot remove all internal panelling and attack it from the inside. These vans are notorious for seam rot as there's barely and paint on the inside. Mine had some very minor surface rust so I wire brushed the inside of the seams and waxoyled it. In the summer I'll rub down the outside of the seams and try to give them some extra protection.
Here's my old girl down in cornwall last summer:

I want one of those! Somewhere to kip at shows and you dnt have to spend a fortune buying a camper! nice one!
-
im liking it too ,cool van, :cool:
mmmmmmmmmbacon butties :laugh:
-
Well when I've got a new job I'm gonna spend a bit on it.
Lower it a bit, get the rims refurbed, maybe two tone the paint and generally tart it up a bit.

Cheers Nick, I think it's very 80's
One day I would love to put some gold bbs rims on it, get it dropped 60mm and find a gold raleigh super burner as the perfect accessory for my bike rack!!!
I you haven't already done so, check out the following site:
http://www.justkampers.co.uk./
They are great for parts and sell a reasonably priced lowering kit which gets pretty good reviews.

Quality mode of transport :cool: My mate from Midasport has got a crew cab pick up one, proper Rat Look

tobz/horney and anyone else..could you possibly get me sum interior shots please?! :smiley:
Dinx :kiss:
-
What sort of stuff are you after Dinx? I've got some on my pc at home which I could post for ya. I built my camping interior myself in order to keep it easily removable in the winter. It's basic and functional but might not be what ya after if you wanna see a typical T25 camper layout.
-
Cheech and Chong do Stonor Park!!!! :laugh: :laugh:
Nice one Nick, looks great, just don't think you can bring that to me to work on though!! :wink: :laugh:
-
that wud be fab tobz...cos it may be sumthing i mite be gettin into myself so any like pics/suggestions/ideas would be super hun! :smiley:
Dinx :kiss:
-
Ok Di I'll have a look on pc tonight I'm pretty sure I know where they're saved.
Unfortunately the camping interior is all packed away in my shed at the minute so I wont be able to offer any specific shot you might want. Suppose I better drag it all out and bolt it back in now the weather is improving.
-
Its no splittie or bay tho, is it :sad:
VW messed up with the Type 25..
-
In the same way that a mk3 is no mk1 I suppose, but the mk3 and T25 are still great vehicles in their own rights. The T25 hasn't got quite as much appeal as a bay or split but as more of them dissintegrate into piles of ferrous oxide the T25 WILL be the next big thing.
-
^i think thats wot im thinkin o gettin so stop putting me off steviem! :laugh:
im a total noob tobz, so anything u got would be greatly appreciated :smiley:
Dinx :kiss:
-
Sorry Dinx....they are fine fine machines...
Tobz, that is a compelling argument you make there and i see what you mean, get one while noone wants them and in five odd years time sell it for £5000 or more like the splitties go for now...
-
Aye Stevie, spot on, I've seen the future and it's wedge shaped :wink:
-
Ive seent the future and its wedge shaped....and orange (see what I did there :wink:)

heh heh I like it.
Think we've seriously hijacked Nick's thread here :grin:
-
No worries guys and Dinx I got no interior at the moment as I need to build one.
For those of you that think t25's aren't as good as Bays and Splits then check this out and tell me it's not the coolest van ever!
