Thanks Luke, were very pleased with how it's turning out. Just a few more finishing touches and well be done I reckon. You had any joy on finding a van yet?
@@vwbusbits It’s looking really good matey, nice one. No, we haven’t taken the plunge yet. Focusing on property stuff at the moment, get that out the way and then look at the van! Take it easy brother, Luke
Hello, awesomeness job! Love the look and amazing use of the space. I have a low roof 2005 on 155k that I'm going to convert. Wondering where you got the wheel arch covers from? Also love the spare wheel holder, great idea! Please do another update when you can. Cheers
Thanks buddy, glad you like what I have done. I got the wheel arch covers from eBay Germany from memory. I'll see if I can find a link and send it to you buddy. Thanks again, simon.
Thanks very much, we were very lucky and managed to find this one in that condition. The only real area where there is some rust is around the bottom of the windscreen which I will tackle after this season.
@@zambotv8150 it's done 160000, so not been overly pampered in its former life. The body work is what drew me to it in the first instance, very lucky I guess.
@@zambotv8150 yes we have, I had it serviced last summer, cambelt and water pump always has to be top priority, even if the previous owner said it has been done:-)
Looking awesome Simon! Nice one ☝🏼

Top job. the van looks in great nick. did you buy it like that or has it been restored?

@@vwbusbits Those lower windscreen panels are bad for rotting out, it's in amazing condition for it's year, I presume it's relatively low mileage?

@@vwbusbits Wow, it most certainly has been pampered! Have you changed the timing belt, tensioner and water pump? That's their Achilles heel

Best bit is, you'll know when the spare wheel isn't holding air, because it will fall out the rack 😉😜
Haha, yes I have thought of that and it will be strapped in :-)
