Pee's work camper resto build

[Crowie]

Van looking so much better than when you got it. Already a lot of hard work gone into it, well done.

[pee]

Cheers buddy, it's been going Ok just need to start buying parts. Moving out for the 1st time is alot more expensive than I thought haha.

Little update coming tomorrow nothing major though.

I have sourced a white wing and door and various other parts that need replacing

[pee]

A little update. Seems I have had to put everything on pause as that van f*cked up. Worn cam lobe and work lifters seems to be the issue. Sourced here http://www.myturbodiesel.com/wiki/camsh ... pd-engine/







While waiting for my parts I've been busy machine polishing the van. Even the roof. That was hard work.













I'll update it when all my parts come from the darkside...

[pee]

So all the parts came from darkside developments. Then a few trips to tps and a lovely £700 bill. The van is BACK! Never been so happy. First time I'd ever done a head rebuild. But cambelt and waterpump done for another 70k miles.

Now I can properly start with the modifications. Watch this space.

[pee]

Been a while since I done anything to the van after not being paid and owed a fair amount funds are still low but hey Ho I've done a few bits here and there...

I started by carpeting the cab which was a bitch to do,









I managed to fit some alloys that where sitting in the garage for ages just need to get a set of tyres to fit them but this is a teaser



Next up some wind deflectors. How I have waited so long to buy these I do not know.



Then a mate came over for a little detailing...







NO DAMAGE ANYMORE!!!



Finally I got some audi a3 sline air vents, can't get them flush at the top though with is a little annoying, turned them upside down for a better fit but still a gap at the top.







Only done 1 at the moment until I find a way of fitting them properly.

A big transformation from when you got it! Whoever owned that van clearly didn't have the time of day for it.

[pee]

Talking about him. I went to see him yesterday and saw his new van. A 2010 transit is on its way to being ruined also. Shame really.

Cheers.

Great transformation mate. Looking forward to pics with alloys on

[pee]

Just a little update, I filled all the panels with insulation today and fitted lino in the back and underlay under the ply. Much quieter now hardly any road noise now,

[pee]

Today I had the liberty of fitting a chrome switch which I mistakenly ordered the auto version. Turns out it works on auto. I didnt even realise I had the sensor





And newly fitted HID kit too.





Cleaned the engine bay while i was there



All with Wd40. Going to get some autoglym engine and machine cleaner the weekend

Good thread mate

Shows some elbow grease can pay off

[Springer Mad]

Wow what a transformation, You should be very proud of that.

[Avalanche]

Amazing what a bit of TLC can do, looking good.

[pee]

Thanks its nice to hear people's opinion I've tried hard without spending too much so far...

So I took a trip to vw today









Sorry for the photo ill get some better ones tomorrow

Is there a how to on removal of the door handles? I'm going to colour code them next I think

[Bigharty]

What a fantastic transformation. Well done
