VW TRANSPORTER T5.1 CAMPER VAN CONVERSION SELF BUILD.
Here is our VW Transporter camper van. Me and my wife did everything on this ourselves apart from the pop top which we let the professionals @dub+ in Lincoln do. They fitted a skyline roof and the service was perfect. In total this took us about 2.5 months to complete and we enjoyed every minute of the process. We still have some bits we want to change but here is where we are at up to now and we are just enjoying our trips meeting new people. Check out @UrbanMonkeyAdventures for great Vw transporter vanlife content. We recently joined them at The Tan hill inn pub for their latest vlog.

I did this one for a friend. Wanted 2 cills, inner and outer arches and a paint job. I’m just a self taught diy man so please be kind 😂🤦🏼‍♂️ I just have a passion restoring old cars. The eagle eyes will notice I had to paint it twice as I was having problems with the compressor. I didn’t notice that the air filters were blocked stopping it from charging it up fast enough. A lot of stress but it...

Sorry Iv been quiet lately over the past couple of year Iv been working on this on and off. It’s very close to completion now and I’m also just restoring a cavalier gsi for a friend so will post a vid on that too when it’s done. Many more in the pipeline. I’m no professional so please be kind it’s just a self taught hobby. I just love old cars that remind me of when I passed my test.

My 998 mini with stage 1 kit made 44bhp at the wheels and runs so much better now. 1st time it’s been tuned after restoration started with 34bhp on the first run.

      It’s been parked up a long time and obviously just deteriorated which is why I had to do what I did. It’s just about ready for mot now and will be back on the road very soon. Without doing this it would have never had a chance of being road worthy again.

The rock and roll bed was from a company called captain seat in Leicestershire. They are amazing at upholstery. Yes I love the fact you can just lift the skirts up and have tons of storage. I wasn’t keen on that look at first but it works really well 👍🏻

    Fantástico ejemplar. Sabes, tu video me ha motivado a buscar un taller especializado para restaurar el que tenemos. El color de tu MINI es justo el que busco, se ve hermoso. Una pregunta: ¿Qué es eso que está en la cajita casi al final de video sobre el capó? Por otra parte, ¿de cuántas pulgadas son los rin del MINI, 13"? Saludos desde Ecuador.

    • @Tonyg_restorations
      @Tonyg_restorations 10 месяцев назад

      Thank you so much. I wish you well with your mini. Yes they are 13” superlight alloys. They are wider than the mini light ones and have the lovely deep dish. If you don’t have a sport pack mini you will need to cut the front arches out more to allow them to fit properly. The thing in the box is a new heater matrix as my old one sprung a leak. Also the colour is bmw mini hyper blue if you was wanting to know. Many thanks Tony.

Not really much point in having 2 of the same car really.
