It's been a long whole since my last update mainly due to this ones arrival
but there is finally a new update vlog on my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCyDiWae6Fg
The van has been sat for a long while again but we've got it in a garage and started the body work. It's...
There is a classic VW specialist in Cilfynydd called Superstar Custom Creations and place called Body and Soul Autoworks in Cardiff that do a lot of T2's. I was hoping to get a generic local garage to do my welding for me but, for the difference in price, I think I'm going to just go for someone...
Just putting the feelers out for a new interior, I always thought there were quite a few local places I could get a new one made bespoke but now I'm actually having a proper look they only seem to do T5/T6 conversions. Does anyone have any recommendations on anyone as local to South Wales...
Thanks for watching! Unfortunately nothing more has been done as I have just had a baby so all was put on hold. Now he is here though it's all steam ahead again with lots already in the pipeline.

Volkswagen Transporter T5 T28 1.9 TDI 2004 SWB (NO VAT)
It is a half completed Kombi conversion, with only the window fitting required to finish. The conversion is all genuine...
Thank you! I have a bit of an update video going up in the next few days and hoping once all this snow has left I can get back to it. A few people have suggested I just take it to a professional resto place, but I really want to do as much as possible first if I can. Hope yours will be done...
Tell me about it, spent enough time getting the paint off the engine lid, so I can only imagine how much time it took for the pop top! Ended up buying a new lid too so it was a bit of a learning curve lol Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the advice! We'll take anything we can get, as you can tell we are complete newbies. My dad was doing a lot of the work before it was taken off the road but he just hasn't got the time at the mo. We've got a pit that we're hoping to use in the coming weeks to have a good look at the...
So here is a bit of a before and after on day 1 of the restoration. It has been sat in a family members garden for around 5 years now so it has accumulated a lot of grime and rust. Managed to get it relatively clean and uncovered a LOT of rust patches and holes. Inside I was really happy with...
I have the same problem in mine. I'm 5'2" but just tend to put a cushion behind me and just about reach. I have thought about maybe adding a bit of something to the pedals to build them up a little as if I have a slimmer seat I don't think I would be able to see far enough over the dash 😂
I don't really know how the whole forum thing works, I've never really been one to use them until I restarted restoring Aggie. I have been filming it as I go and thought some of you may enjoy watching a complete novice and her brother in law trying to get a camper back to a running and usable...
We're in the process of moving the filter and changing all the fuel pipes to make it all a bit safer, won't be running her until everything is changed just wanted to hear her run after such a long time standing. Thanks for the advice, really appreciated! Thanks for watching Ozzydog & thejinx...
Got some work started a few weeks ago and started a vlog series for the resto https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLO1KhqOlzr_0Nw4rspjHsCYWZIu06xXuK Hoping to be camping in it by next show season! Any ideas where I can get lotus white paint off the shelf? Found a few sellers on Ebay but don't...
