Now that is a rare old bus. The twin cab sprinter and in good nick low miles. Must be the only 1 left on this earth. And on about rare things. Parked in Milton Keynes shopping centre as a advertisement for some charity is a twin wheel mwb minibus on a 2005. It's been sat in the same place for easily 10yrs. I did try looking at the mileage I think it said 45k But couldn't work out if it was in kilometres or miles as as the glare was to bright. But looks a solid old bus. And it's automatic I'm told. But love the videos Well jealous of your yard I'd love a place like that 👍👍👍
Owe my life to a sprinter Al . I was hit head on ,on a country B road by a 17t lorry@ 64mph when the pulled his tacho . Only two straight panels were the rear doors . Love a sprinter😊 😊😊

Great video Al but more cars please,don’t get me wrong some awesome vans that deserve to have a second life but I found you and your random channel with a Austin MG metro parked for silly amount of years…….. Your yard has many cars just resting (rusting) awaiting their turn for some extra love and attention….
Great video. Thought you already had one of the best recovery trucks (the one you went and fetched the silver sprinter in). But your collection is just brilliant. Shame you can’t save fattys cab.
T4 is on the list 😂👍. I like a t4 used to drive one years ago. Also did i see an old lt35 in the back ground , you know the one shaped like a brick lol.
I can see your yard being a future video of the bearded explorer / imstokze all those abandoned vehicles left to rust in a sorry state. "one man's trash is another man's treasure"
Al, please film that chassis extension mate, got to do one on my 1968 MK1 ford transit as it’s being made into a recovery truck also 👍🏻👍🏻 cheers mate and keep up the great content. Mick
I have a Passat std i. B5.5. Wagon are colour greatest car ever .parked up when my pancreas decided to start eating itself to DEATH lol dreamed of a Vs van for years now needs to be auto.... Any advice on a cheap version of v w auto....I don't do fancy just good simple like the wife
Your a man after my own heart, I have to admit to being a bit envious of the amount of space you have to indulge your passion, I’ve got a bit of a thing about mk1 vito’s, I’m down to two now, one’s a shed ( garage overspill ) and the other is a rust free ex-met surveillance van ready for the “surf van” treatment, I did have 6 newer type beetles at one stage but had a nightmare trying to stash them around so I had to let them go, I have such little space at the moment I may well contact you regarding an engine overhaul on the vito in the near future, all the best fella 👍
Love these old sprinters Al, I’m seriously considering one or a crafter for my next van, witch one of the slightly more modern ones in the last 10ish years has the better engines and less rust issues do you suggest looking for…if such exist? Matt.
@@CrazzyMead16 the om646 is the sprinter 4banger Merc engine , the early crafter 2.5 tdi is a 5 banger and got the ooomph as far as I’m concerned if remapped and dpf diddled with , I’ve not seen Al do anything with a 2.5 tdi crafter yet , maybe bung that clapped out Merc recovery body onto a crafter chassis cab would be a great bit o’ content 👍
I bought it as a present for the wife years ago , she use to use it every summer . Just don’t get the time these days . Must put it back in dry storage 👍

"wheelable starty-bastard kit"...good name, but I somehow can't see Halfords stocking that :)
Start ya bastard kit. 😂😂😂 love it Al. 👊👍🫡
Mans not got enough trucks 👍👍👍🤔🤔
Absolutely loved this video as usual. Brilliant content Al. Also shows exactly why we all love a Mercedes van...
Excellent idea putting body on other Mercedes good show

I know nothing about diesels nor vans yet your videos are still intriguing to watch. I want an old Mercedes now

Take care streaming with all those pebbles and glass windows. Great to see all of these.

It's like asmr for mechanics
I hope that fg weren't lit, when you were messing with them batteries. They do blow up!

Great video can I commend you for having some great trucks personally i would be overwhelmed but you sound like a man with a plan 👌👏👏👏👏👏
Cheers fella , believe me I’ve got a few more !! Man likes to hoard stuff lol 👍
Good video as usual.
Something tells me you have quite a few Sprinters without a front end in your yard :)
Great video. Thought you already had one of the best recovery trucks (the one you went and fetched the silver sprinter in). But your collection is just brilliant. Shame you can’t save fattys cab.
I have old chassis 2 meters in it 906

Will do fella last time i stretched a transit (mk3) I bought a Ford factory kit to do it 👍
Probably like rocking horse s**t to find one now, certainly in Australia 😂😂
Great channel Al
What not leave the 515 drivetrain as is and just extend out the rear and have a dual axle recover truck for heavier loads ? Save a lot of chopping 😅
More axles less carrying ability 👍

I’ll call you on Monday Al, cheers bud 👍👍
I don’t know if the number I found for you is kosher, two calls, one text and a voicemail
Cheers for getting back Al, i didn’t realise just what sort of a week you were having bud until I saw your last post, hope to catch up soon 👍😎👍
Hi love watching your videos what’s up with the kango. That was behind the silver merc
If it’s the white one she’s the parts van 👍
Thank you :) keep up the great work @@6DDIESELSDorset

Rust is the same as always and engine wise om646 or om642 v6 Cdi if you can find one 👍
@@6DDIESELSDorset thanks for replying mate, is that the same engine model for VW aswell?

why most missing headlights, bumpers and grills ?
Wheres your topdon Al...Great vid ...cheers
Lent it to the lass with the mini, she’s driving to Italy!! Might need it lol
Your a good man
own a bike as well !!
I cant believe you still have that mk3 8v gti golf. Thought someone would have snapped your hand off with that
Sold the man just hasn’t collected it yet 👍
Haha sound's like fatty saying 🤣 leave me alone I've done my graft. Enjoy your videos. Thought the golf would of been long gone 🤔.
Whats the story with orange mini convertible? Customer car?
Left here long story and yep customer if you could call her that 👍
What's wrong with the Mafia Merc next to Fatty Al
Awesome video Al. Whats the story with the mk2 golf?
It’s a 16v mk2 gti with a 1.8 bam sat in it , belongs to a mate and he’s not one for selling things 👍
@6D Diesels Mercedes and Volkswagen van specialist sounds cool. if he wants to get rid let me know. Also, what the highest mileage sprinter you own?
I have a black 313 with just over 750.000 miles on it’s original engine 👍
@@6DDIESELSDorset Man needs a video on that beast
It’s all possible fella 👍
Al, do you want to sell that golf gti? 👍🏼
Who had the astra van are they on you tube ?.
Fella in wales with a building firm and I do think so 👍
@6DDIESELSDorset cool , as you know love a mk2 astra even a late one.
Ever think it’s time to let some stuff to go another bloke to finish? 😂
What are you doing with the old vw lt camper
Which one there are a few here 👍
The old high top one chap it looks like a lt 28 or 35
I knew I spied it in the background I have an eye for these sort of things 😂.
Al what's your intentions with the Audi V6 Cab on the back of Fatty ??
I bought it as a present for the wife years ago , she use to use it every summer . Just don’t get the time these days . Must put it back in dry storage 👍
a bmw bike...... didnt know youre into sailing cos thats a boat anchor ;)
Not mine 👍
Al how much is the golf Mk 2
Not for sale fella 👍
another kangoo spotted in the wild
I wish my 8 month old peace of shite Citreon Spacetourer ran as well as some of yours Al, my Citroën is crap!!!
To paraphrase Morrisey/ The Smiths "You're the (Recovery) Truck for me Fatty!" 😂😂😂😂
