Live Art Car build at Viva Skegvegas VW Show 2024
We’ve been excited about this one for a while now. As soon as we got the call from Toby at Skegvegas VW Show asking if we’d do a live build at the show it just had to be done.
With Joel from Populuxe bringing the art, Retro-Sect supplying the N.O.S. 80’s body shell and with support from Breitling UK, the SLamborghini was born. A charger II kit car on a VW pan, 17” spilt rim Fuchs wheels, slammed of course and hand painted throughout the weekend by Joel of Populuxe as we, with some help from our friends, built the car ready for the big unveiling on Sunday afternoon.
An epic tale deserves an epic T2DTV episode so we hope you enjoy this 1 hour special with more than just the car build. We let...

Absolutely loved this episode. First off, very professional. Second, your content is brilliant!! 3rd... Loving this build, very cool.

Hello all, its “im George” George here. This episode is great and really did everyone justice to what they’ve all done to build this incredible car so well done and thank you to everyone that was involved with the skeg vegas build and everyone at T2D and thank you for having me on board as a part of the T2D team🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks George, you were a really big part of the build and your engine is going strong
Really enjoyed the video, Skegvegas really is the best show going. Great to catch up with you and thanks for the plug for The Layby Lincs 😎
Thanks Alex, was great to chat .. Good luck with the venture and racing
Ha ha, that Diana air freshener!
Awesome isn't it?!
How did you get the front suspension up so high? Puzzled.
@@philrazzi7782 we made raised front struts and used de cambered ball joints
The caddy and 924 such a wicked combo 😍😍
Thanks - we are so happy with them!
Another jam packed episode. Great stuff! Good to see the work experience guys getting involved👍
A week here certainly beats the work experience I had at school back in the day!
Great video, each one gets better , LOADS going on in this episode , making it a great watch. Keep up the amazing work and don’t leave it too long for the next episode , see you soon.
Thanks Pete - did you enjoy seeing your bus in this episode? It won't be too long before the next episode is ready :-)
@@t2detectives What a surprise when it’s your own bus featured 😊 you certainly covered a lot of ground in that episode. Will be a mega episode if you build the coffee shop 👍
George is so knowledgable and a budding car sales man! Maybe you should set him up a franchise in Devon…not that I’m biased! 🤪#GeorgeFanClub 🤙
We love having George here! Great asset to the workshop.
Another good vid Paul, love the different stuff coming through in one video. Thanks for spending the time putting it together
Glad you enjoyed it, but its really Tom our videographer that pulls it all together with his excellent editing :-)
Love the caddy! Great to see the younger fellas getting in on it
We have such a great team here, everyone fully on board and pitching in with ideas, age is but a number!
Great video. Love the Caddy !
Thanks! 👍 We are so pleased with the way it turned out
Great video & I love the paint on the caddy. Just curious, who’s is the cortina?
Thanks for watching! The cortina is coming up in the next episode 😁👍
@@three50six oh cool, can’t wait for that one then.
Love the caddy, great build. And to see more Golf's would be cool. Keep up the good work guys. Cool video 😎🤙🤙
Thanks 👍
Another cool episode ! The Caddy looks awesome 😎
Thanks! 👍
Such a cool build, definitely need matching tracksuits
We do!!
Awesome!!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Love your videos , keep it up
Great choice of music towards the end💪🏼
Well chosen by Tom our videographer 🎵 tune 🎉
Loved working on the Safari 914 ! Such a great transformation
Would love another type 3. It really is the best view 👌
Oh yeah, I remember your old square
@@t2detectives yeah the blue 67 was a cool car. I had a Texas yellow 72 before that too 👌
Great stuff. Very enjoyable. Keep em coming
This was great I had a 1964 VW Notchback with twin Solex Carbs mine was beige in color drove perfect I loved it fast too however it needed Five Star Petrol which was not always easy to find and eventually I think in 1966 it was taken off the market. I took my Notchback to Hutchinson's a Volkswagen Specialist Garage run by three brothers who had started up their shop in 1956 they were good people so they detuned it to run on four star but it was never as good performance wise anyway your video bought back memories of the happy times with my notchback thank you Best Regards Andy Allen,
Glad you liked it.
Excellent video. Makes me want a 924 again!
Buy one why they are still good value for money
Not everyone has done it though. Pubs are horrible places.
Depends on the pub surely?
I remember Spikes green notch back in the day, bloody great sub against the rear seat.
Down in Front for sure!
My plan also
Nice you named and put in the description all the companies involved with this project and that you thank your team! So rare today... nice project.
Always thankful for the teams effort, and also the help of our great collaborators
...why Riedheim?...the car is from Karden?
T1 from Freiwillige Feuerwehr Karden....yeah from my country...come back home :-))
In dem habe ich in meiner Jugendfeuerwehr Zeit gesessen
@@charlieraether Schade das er jetzt nen anderen Ort gepinselt bekommt. Riedheim?
Beauty what wheels are they on the 62?
Hiya guy's I've dropped by via Doms channel and now a new subscriber will catch-up on your videos and see what you have been up to ❤
Awesome 914...the T1 on the left side door..."Feuerwehr Karden"....wow..from my country
Nice vid. Like the mix up with different things going on through out the video. Loved the rolling shots at the end with the bus pushing the shopping trolley out the way in the fast lane!! 😂😂
Glad you liked it thanks for the comment
There's not much in the world that I drool over as much as VWs but quality furniture and interiors is up there. That table and Milan bench...🤤🤤
Makes a change doesn’t it
Retrosteve has no thoughts on the matter 😂😂😂
I was very keen to see the suspension mods you guys did. Otherwise great video.
Another awesome episode 👌👌 will you guys be doing kaffennation next month ?
Not sure as yet.. hopefully
BRILLIANT episode. Looking forward to the next one. 👍
Glad you liked it
The videos are definitely getting better. Nice when the content is mixed.👍
Thanks for the nice comment.. keep following
