they look sweet on borbs ian at hutoft had a mint t25 in a while back on borbs was sweet as and it was re furbished looks awesome

yeah that one at ians was sweet Wayne...
ya cant be goin new skool wheels on one of these... and ya gonna have to watch the offset too....
Get yaself joined up on one of them sites i gave ya, and start asking questions mate..

Campers are easy to do on a budget, unless you start wanting to go down the line of R&R beds..

r and r beds?????? i thought the pop top was gonna be the killer to me plan


cheers for the links jamie


as for the rims and millin em your all correct matey boy im buyin the van off has shown me all the work that has been done to get them shotty granada rims on it....summin to do wiv the centre of the wheel hub needs milling or some sh*t

poptop will be an expensive one mate... R&R(rock n roll)beds are a seating system that slides out to form a bed.. they also have seatbelts attatched to em, making em safe for the family.. but you will be looking at about £500 for a fully built up one with foam and covers, unless you lucky enough to jump on a second hand one...
There are a lot of other and cheaper ways around this though..

sweet but im likin the sound of the rock and roll bed and 500 isnt as bad as the 2400 fitted for a pop top best i can find atm...on fleabay theres a second hand pop top probably best chance of me gettin one but i just cant afford it atm...nxt best price was a new one on fleabay 1300....but that wasnt a shop so was only the one again:( summin will come long ...as for cheap idea for the deat i was thinkijn passenger bench out a tranny they got 2 seat for the 2 kids and 2 3point harness built in....wot u think? even if it s a only fpr now solution

Tranny seat would work, but you would be better to try n get a duble seat to match the front ones!! if ya know what i mean? same material n stuff. Have seen em back to back with th front seat, so will save you a bit of space in the back..
a lot of people use the seat system from a "Bongo" which is a factory system tha looks like propa seating..

hhhhmmmm cheers for the advice smig u handy geezer to no

as of last nite i now fully own said van...its on me frnt garden after realising she aint ever gonna fit one me drive i removed 3 concrete posta and 4 panels and 3 gravel board hey presto bigger drive and no fernt garden lol.....as yet she wont start which is no drama she turns over a beaut but has been stood fro 2 years so stale fuel....wen i get in frm work im clean in the plugs and chuckin a load of fresh fuel in her........and wen i was sayin sdhe a shitty 1600....well sh*t aint she's a 1900...dunno if that'll make any difference

more pics of me van to follow wen its lite

1.9 will make a bit of a diffrance mate, but these vans aint about speed, lol.
Really pleased ya got it mate, and look forward to the start of project25................

oh its on i got her runnin today clean the spark plugs some nice new fresh fuel hitched her up to the polo and hey presto also been clearin her out will link a vid to youtube wen shes uploaded so everyone can hear






was a twat to get the filler cap off

nicely done nephew!

mmm looks like a Wasserboxer! A 1.9 should kick out 55 to 75bhp for a carb model, fuel injection were 85bhp! They have a bad addition to petrol those do! Make sure you run a good quality anti-freeze and that the cooling system is in good nick, cause if they overheat they die like no other engine! Well except maybe a Rover K series!

ere tom the geezer said that i had to bleed the coolin system and sh*t ...do u reckon there maybe summin he dint tell me?...i av the haynes manual for me van and i also av a genuine volkswagen book which i will fotograph for u to see...

God knows mate. All I know is you've got to be careful with them. Read both manuals, the cooling system bleeding method will be in em. Read it until you understand it, get some good antifreeze (I always go for the 5 year red shiz) and run a 50/50 mix with water. It will also pay you to flush the cooling system with hose. Oh an NEVER put cold water in one when the engine's been ran, you will thermally "shock" the heads and liner seals = bad times. Always let it cool right down.

Oh forgot to say, £500 quid is a bargain price for a T25, regardless of engine condition.

is that the le shark coat i give u ages ago,didnt even fit me n looks huge on u lol!!! brand new never worn,fuckin expensive n all lol!!!

whoops is a work coat lol

lol tosser!!

the engine has loadsa new parts on her and was rebuilt shortly before it was taken off the road...was also serviced just befopre went off the road...the geezer did say the coolant needed bleedin??? all i did to get her to run tom was clean the spark plugs chucked some clean fuel down the top of the carb hooked it up to the polo wiv jump leads and she was off!!!!
