Campervan crisis was really good but years old now.

I believe the engine building company went bust ages ago.

filmed 5ish years ago.... and the engine cost 10K

Seen it but didnt realise it cost that much.
10k for 115bhp

It's what I've heard on a couple of camper forums. All told the build stood him at a reported 22K!!!

After watching the programme it was disappointing to see how little he actually did himself, in my opinion.

Although the aggressive time frame probably dictated that he had to sub out most things

I think it was last weekend but cant remember rightly, Discovery Turbo had some kind of vw beetle or something weekend and showed the whole Beetle Crisis series back to back plus some other vw stuff including the 2 part wheeler dealers with the beetle restoration. good stuff

is this a repeat? sure ive seen beetle crisis before

[Dan_GTi8v]

dont think its new but doesnt look too old, few years maybe?

There was another beetle crisis aswell with the bloke from the engine place restoring beetle for his missus.
Very piccy and pointless i thought though, he was making every single part underneath smooth like you would not believe.

Like Wayne said, check the titles for a date, I think it was 95' or summat like that.

The beetle looked crap too.....
