yeah totally agree, straight beam front axle with king pins, a leaf spring at each corner, a bulletproof engine and driveline, i have an autotrail on a 208d with a turbo, still slow but will go to the moon and back.
Nearly done with our T1 S550 Hymer. Ours didn't have the rust issues but the engine was broke. I properly should put together a video with what i have done. Grate work :)
@@DayneGunn Hi, just used your method to remove steering wheel yesterday, worked well, thanks. Where did you get the new boxes that go behind the air inlet grills beneath the windscreen form? thanks
Good work there get rid of the rot now then it won't come back to haunt you later . I not sure weather it was on the 208 or 308 under the floor near the gearbox is a inline fuel filter I am not sure if it was just on mine or all of them but a Mercedes fitter pointed it out to me he gave me a new one and problem solved. There seems to be a massive following for these vans now .
hi man your doing great ive had 3 campers like yours .just got another one just asking whats those people you asking advise on merc i cannot get them cheers
Looking good dude I did the cab on mine few months back but haven’t touched the caravan on the back 😂 it’s all standard .got a bit of wood rot so starting that in the summer.. I would get rid of that 3 way fridge it’s useless on 12v draws about 8ah they work well on gas but at that age it’s a bit risky 🤔 keep up the videos will be interesting to see what lies ahead
All these older Mercedes are awesome so much more reliable than A lot of modern vehicles and becoming collectable and rare great project 👍🚐

Hello, to replace the parking brake lights, battery, etc., can they be replaced without removing the front panel?
❤❤❤
Good work especialy with removing this glue by heating.
Do you now how to join this group on fb? Mercedes t1 t2 Appreciation group? I have 310d and I am looking for tech.info for this.
Did you have to remove the engine, to replace the skuttle
Haven't got in to replacing the scuttle yet Peter but I can't see any need to remove the engine for this
