nice!!

great things to camp in glen

how are you finding roundabouts?

when we picked ours up from eastfalia the first roundabout we got to i couldnt see a bloody thing!!!

After driving left hookers for 5 years I've kind of taught myself to pull up at roundabouts so i can still see, failing that I stand up on the brake pedal and look out the kitchen window Big smile

I thought I'd miss my old Reimo so much, But the whole family's loving the Cheetah to bits, Only had one night away as been away on holiday, Was so nice to just pull up, Handbrake on and open a beer,No more spending an hour putting awning up and setting everything out Clap

Okay,

here is my van.

Simple, essentially straight and not too much rust. But suffering with the usual problems of an early water boxer - i.e. suspect petrol tank and rust steel radiator pipes. Doh! Interior ripped out and a definate candidate for a roller paint job. A vehicle I can put my mark on. If the wife lets me.

Cheers

If you can keep your head when everyone is losing theirs...Then you have seriously misjudged the situation

look like i'm in the boat top club for the day! LOL

Some nice looking vans here's my one which used to be owned by Andy7 on here with a replacement engine fitted by simon and gang, still going strong but needs the valve stems doing sooner than later.

not the best pics so I'll have to get the van spruced up in the spring for a proper photoshoot

As this is my first post i would like to say a" big Hello to every one", have been lurking for a while just not got round to posting. I have been into rebuilding and messing with bugs ,type3's , campers and porsches for approx 20years but this is my first venture into watercooled so here goes.

I have owned this rather ugly high top camper conversion for about 8 months but have not had time to start work on it due to house move and renovation and the birth of our baby boy 6 months ago

.

The bus had been sat for some years so the plan is to replace the rear arch panels and both cills, chassis wise it seems solid,rip out and rebuild interior, check engine over, replace brakes and suspension, mild lowering and a set of rims oh and repaint, not much then!

i am currently starting on the cooling system to see whether or not i need to replace head gaskets. I managed to get the engine going after replacing fuel lines and wiring the new starter motor up that came with the van it started first time and sounded nice and quiet, However after running for a while it decided to start bubbling in the header tank and then spew its contents of the cooling system all over the road and the interior.

That's a factory hi-top you've got there dude.

I thought it was just a generic plastic roof top, i thought factory high tops had the extended height side door aswell,

Not on a T3 AFAIK.

My newly purchased van and first ever project looking forward to doing it up and using it with wife and kids. Does anyone know anything about the Luna conversions - Google is not helping me.

Nice. And welcome to the brick-yard. I like the colour , but I have to admit that your "Luna" conversion is a new one to me. Must be very rare...which country was it first registered in?
