    There's a very famous funny cartoon that we had on the wall in the office of two ants pointing at a diagram of a plan on which the last step says "and then a miracle occurs". I think we've just seen that happen on the van build! Its suddenly come together. Well done for sticking at it. Also please dont be discouraged by the occasional nasty comments. Many channels have them as there are quite a few unappreciative people out there. Fortunately there are thousands of us who wait for your weekly videos and very much enjoy them.

    Hello to you both. Sorry to hear you re planning to sell Vincent. I was hoping to see you have a little adventure out in him. Up in the wilds of Scotland or something like that. Still, I’m sure you will do what is right for you. Just as long as you are both enjoying what you are doing and are both happy. Looking forward to next weeks adventures.

    Just a small tech point, AC cables should be seperated from DC. because AC fluctuates from + to - 50 time a second you can get induced currents in the DC cables. You need to read up on electrical induction. All to do with magnetic fields.

    • @ItsOhJoe
      @ItsOhJoe  ปีที่แล้ว

      Ah yes good point. We did this on the boat, we’re not actually connecting the AC up as no inverter there it just depends if the new owner installs one

    In Italy, cars over four years old must undergo a roadworthiness test (revisione) every two years. If the car is over 30 years old, a reduced car tax (bollo auto) is payable (apparently).

    I can understand your motivation for selling but somewhat disagree. Assuming you sell this T25 to buy a property when you later buy another T25 given the prices to buy, part prices & availability, its the logical choice. Short of paying £10k+ it's likely to need work too. I doubt you will get more £6k for your current air cooled, meaning a lot of work to make a little profit. Although in 1985 Volkswagen improved the quality of cars, likely a factor in most T25 survivors being 1986 and older, described as late T25s when buying parts. Why did you not buy a diesel, either 1.6 turbo diesel or 1.6 diesel ready to fit a 1.9 diesel 1Y or AEF if you can find one. In a autosleeper, autohomes or Holdsworth vision being my favourite conversion. Much more reliable and around 35-40 miles to a gallon on a run. Plus less work (Holdsworth used lots of solid wood.

    • @ItsOhJoe

      I’ve never owned anything air cooled so it was a chance to tick that box off. The problem is we’ve got plans right the way through the whole of next year that won’t leave time for the van so it’ll sat around for 12 months at very least, plans have changed and we unfortunately can’t afford to have that money tied up in a van we can’t use
