Cheers lad, yeh I got lucky with this. Despite being in the woods for all that time it cleans up nice.

How much are you looking for it mate?

@@irontalonsengineering £ 600 mate

You know you can slow down the video, right?

Cheers for the advice mate! I am looking at getting my own now tbh but I need to do a bit more research on what exactly I want. Should be heading back to the track next weekend for another go.

@@irontalonsengineering no worries. I went for a 250 two stroke and then couple years later bought a 250 four stroke. Much prefer the engine braking on a four stroke. But everyone has their own opinion. Now I’ve got a bit of experience I’d look at something with a little more power but I want an all rounder for rally’s, green lanes and enduro play days. Whatever you get you will enjoy it…main thing is to get one….. oh and some leg protection 😃

And it's still true 🤣

That’s what i’m wondering too.

Cheers for the kind words sunshine!

Cheers lad! Much appreciated 👍

Unfortunately the nuts that were already fitted weren't the original nuts to begin with. I've put a new order in for OEM nuts so whe it's time to take the top mounts off and turn them down I can change those at the same time.

Good idea lad! Ta 👍

eBay, a shop called John brown wheels.

I know, brutal isn't it.

It probably should be if you were that fussed about having the roller in the same position as the wheel, but doing it like this has always got me the results I've been after so I've never needed to do it that way.

Tbf those have cropped up on my Instagram feed a couple of times and I thought they looked good. The ones I see locally though always seem to suffer with rust, but I guess as a builders van etc they'll be neglected regardless of make.

@@irontalonsengineering a lot of the pre-2007 ones suffer with rust, from around then onwards the chassis are galvanised so it's not really an issue. As you say, a lot of them have had hard lives though

I can just see the builder that own this, with his wonky door panel constantly catching the arch every time he opens the door and mumbling to himself 'Ill fix that soon'

Oh I know that lad! If I changed the profile it wouldn't have been too bad, but I wasn't gonna put my hand in my pocket and spend another couple of hundred quid when these are brand new and rolling my arches was free.

Apparently I like making things hard for myself. At least I know how the whole corner comes apart now 😂

Tbf yes they should be. Unfortunately I was working on a time frame to get the car back in one piece and leave due to selling the property. The turbos will be taken back off once the car is moved to the new property and the centre cartridges will be sent out for high speed balancing.

@@irontalonsengineering Ok I was just wondering, I know people that just send them like that without the balancing and have good luck, I however have the WORST luck so I always try to do it the right way. I was just checking in case you knew something I didn't lol. I am literally doing the exact same rebuild upgrade kit you are so its good to know the compressor housings dont need to be machined.

Cheers for the warm welcome guys! Yeh I've noticed that you can do quite a bit for not a lot of money so every week I seem to be getting something else 😂 Got a few more things to do to it just to get it looking the way I want but it's getting there.

Cheers lad! It's growing on me tbf, gonna do a few more things to it just to get it looking right for me though.

Cheers Paul! Wheels are 20x9's. Not sure of the offsets though.

Nice @@irontalonsengineering The tires are front and back the same width? Could you pls name the size too? Thank you 🙂

@@the-alien-paul4491 Yeh they're the same, they're 275/35/20's

thank you 🙂@@irontalonsengineering

That's awesome lad! Cheers for the advice!

Definitely, replacement of all the rubber bushes, ball joints for new is way to go... no sense in keeping all the old ones when you replace suspension components

It's gone down a little further as they've been on over a week now. Need to roll the arches though as they rub slightly if I hit a large bump.

@@irontalonsengineering I’ve changed my suspension so many times because being too low on my dub doesn’t suit the places I go lol. Well done on the views though, it took me ages to get them kind of numbers on my channel lol

@@vwtransportersandmotorcycl3729 yeh it's gone a bit mad on this video 😂 I've got a fair amount to do to it still so I'll be doing some more for sure. I need it to stay this height ideally to finish moving into my new house, after that I'll do the hub and top mount mod and drop it by about another 30mm.

😂 tbf I didn't know until I told a mate I was going to look at a 2.5 and nearly got punched in the face

Ah perfect! Cheers for that bit of knowledge lad! I'll have to remove them again when I want to do the hub mod and top mount mod in the future so that'll come in handy.

@@irontalonsengineering I recently changed my top mounts and only had to undo the 2 bolts on back of hub and drop links, the hub drops down with a bit of a wiggle and twist it’ll come out without all the hassle. 👌🏻

Already sorted, cheers for the advice though lad 👍

Lad I bought it from said something similar, you got any more info on this? What I'll need etc?

Cheers lad! They are 275/35/20 load rated tyres. They came with the wheels.

Already sorted that lad, cheers for the advice though. I had to take it back in the shop and cut the bump stops down anyway so I swapped them then.

That's a idea TBF. I've got to take the coilovers out again anyway when I do the hub mod etc so I'll do that then.

Cheers lad, yeh there will definitely be more T5 stuff.

Bro that just made my day! Cheers for the kind words! I got out there today and tried to get a couple of things done so another video will be coming soon. Gonna give it a proper wash tomorrow but the detailing stuff I ordered didn't turn up in time so I'll have to do that when it's here.

I didn't actually, that's a good shout mate. I'll look into that one. Cheers for that 👍

Cheers sunshine! Yeh the swamper look is good tbf, I didn't like it when I first saw it but it's grown on me a lot.

£3.5k, which was quite surprising considering how much they were during the plague.

@@irontalonsengineering I agree. Good luck with your new Van.
