What an absolutely incredible van. It has got to be one of, if not the nicest transporters ever. I’m looking forward to seeing it finished and on the road.
What a mint transformation. The quality of the work was top notch. We currently have our 2018 transit custom being converted into a Campervan. The family are really excited and watching this makes me not want to wait any longer 😅
Bootiful from Norfolk wish I could come down guys but unfortunately I’m in hospital after some repairs to a knackered old body but as soon as I’m more mobile just have to come down and get some more bits n bobs for our camper great work by the way
Love the van and the progress! We are planning to come back to the UK and visit family in Southern England and then head up to Scotland as well…possibly get over to Wales for some Dirt Biking with Stan but renting a VW Van again! I so wish we could get these vans in Canada but the T4 was the last one available! I am looking into Importing a T5 so ya never know! I meant to say as well, love the music at the front end of the video.
The ultimate t5 for sure! Personally I think the wheels look too big and I'd have a more simple alloy or steels. I appreciate you want to show off those lovely calipers though 👌❤🤙
Great build absolutely love it as I have a gen 1 sportline. One question when you carpeted the rear sides did you not put ply underneath or was that straight on to the sound deadening/insulation?? The final look is how I want to do my panel van inside 👍
@@davetalton6939 a LOT more than a brand new van 😂 We don't do customer work though. We just build cool stuff for shows and marketing while developing new products.
If applying sound deadening to the interior rear wheel arches, how more benefit is there coating the external inner wheel arch under the wheel liner please?
@thqautomative On Mikey's point about wheel fitment with Porsche calipers. Can you advise how well the Navis Twin-5 alloys fit with the SF Tuning Macan/Panamera big brake kit? Would you know?
Looks amazing all the work that’s gone into it is unreal. Personally I felt a bit disappointed when I got a glimpse of the heater controls they look so 80’s and can’t believe all the skill you guys have but still got that shitty looking heater control. Would be nice to see a modern looking one in There, like the one in the caravelles surely you guys could make that happen with your capabilities and skill set, love and peace it’s only my opinion
Let Us Know What You Think Of The Build So Far Below, Would you do anything differently?
We will be replying to all of your comments below⬇
I dont have a van ive never been interested in getting a van but ive been watching these videos religiously.
@@joeythelips2341 thank you, that's really good to know that our content is interesting to none van owners too.

That was the goal. I feel very fortunate to have this team to build it.

That's super exciting for your family. They're going to love it! Amazing family memories incoming ☺️
This makes my nethers fizz. A most splendid van indeed old beans

@@peterbuxey2151 rest up, hopefully you're fix soon and mobile.
Crazy can't wait to see this van done looks unreal

Thank you, if you happen to be passing, swing by and say Hi 👋 😊
Amazing work on this T5, only a third of the way through but that is a well fitted trailer hitch! I pull a trailer re Dirt Bikes so a plus for sure.
@@grantlingley1385 thank you. We need to tow our Porsche 992 turbo S in the same colour.
The ultimate t5 for sure! Personally I think the wheels look too big and I'd have a more simple alloy or steels. I appreciate you want to show off those lovely calipers though 👌❤🤙
@@colinlee5429 wait until we reveal the final wheels 😍
@THQAutomotive yay!

Well put ply panels over this with carpet on.
Good on you guy's your doing a great jod. 👌👍👊
@@vanboss8782 thank you. Appreciate the comment
Looking forwards to seeing this at the weekend

Thanks Peter
Absolutely EPIC 💯
@@TheGrapeEscapeVan thank you ☺️
Loving the attention to detail.
@@Iandmcconnell1 wait until you see the next episode 👀
What door cards are they also which hertz front speakers u using on the build?
They are Caravelle door cards. We'll cover the full audio set up in a future episode so be sure to watch 😊
Stunning 😍
@@chrisb5839 thanks Chris ☺️
Such a good, looking Van and Great app Content as always 👍👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌
@@peterwilding9744 thanks Peter. It's coming along nicely 😊
See you at the show can’t wait to kick off the first meet of 2025 🤙bring it on
@@darrenmartin3912 see you there. Come say Hello 👋
Mega van, looks amazing… so big question, if I were to bring a T5 to you, hypothetically speaking, what would a build like this cost?
@@davetalton6939 a LOT more than a brand new van 😂 We don't do customer work though. We just build cool stuff for shows and marketing while developing new products.
@ it’s awesome mate, you should be proper proud of what the lads have built.
@@davetalton6939 this team are incredible. They take my crazy / stupid ideas and make them happen, while adding their own finesse 👌
Why did you not go for twin exhaust pipe
@@5pintwonder869 I don't like the exhaust look. I like a clean finish of a hidden exhaust.
If applying sound deadening to the interior rear wheel arches, how more benefit is there coating the external inner wheel arch under the wheel liner please?
I'd only really do one or the other.
Great looking van. It sounds unreal .what was the sound deadening used in the wheel arches and how much did you use to do all 4 arches ?please
@@antonybailey8939 it's dod mat. Great stuff, we sell it on the website transporterhq.co.uk not sure how much as we've done the whole van.
Do you have Dodo mat on both inside and outside of the wheel arches?
We just do the outside on ours.
I’ve got both done on my 6.1, don’t think you’ll notice a difference to be honest. My KO2’s still drone through the cab, although it’s a nice drone.
@@GAFYSELF I had that tyre on my Crafter but had to take it if. The tyre noise drove my wild. The economy was terrible too.
Looks great, Van Haven would want to sell that for £250k 😂
@@GAFYSELF I don't blame them 🤪 this one is priceless ☺️
Attention to detail that they could only dream of, this is the real thing and not a ‘style over substance’ product like they produce. 😎
@ thank you, that was the goal.
@thqautomative On Mikey's point about wheel fitment with Porsche calipers. Can you advise how well the Navis Twin-5 alloys fit with the SF Tuning Macan/Panamera big brake kit? Would you know?
@@GS04WAL don't know sorry. Speak to Darren Woodhouse at Woodhouse and Carman, he should know.
@ much obliged
@@GS04WAL The twin 5s work great with the Mecan calipers on my van 👍🏼
@@paulh7259 Thanks for commenting, do they need spacers?
@@GS04WAL sf tuning send a 3mm spacer in the kit for the fronts, the fit is perfect.
The rear twin caliper kit needs a 10mm spacer.

Honestly, I've wanted to keep this build as period correct as possible, sometimes less is more. I appreciate your feedback though,
