Re: VW T25
Yea its been a long road bud but we are almost there, no more leaks from the engine and just sussed out the last water one, strangely enough its a part that we have already replaced but this was before we found out about brickwerks who's parts are either genuine or extremely good copies at prices that don't sting the wallet to much.sol-lude wrote:Looks sweet i feel your pain with the fixing up of the t25 as i have one also...i do need to ask what engine does it have in it and depending on your answer there may be a request on the back of it haha
Engine is just the basic 1.6 non turbo bud, believe its engine code cs from my research.
Cheers Nitin, it really is amazing how much the have inside them.nitin_s1 wrote:OMg. that is awesome..

After I get married, Mrs Nitin wants to visit Portugal and I was telling her to go in the Prelude so I can have an awesome driving time and she can visit her home town where she was born. But now looking at this van, makes me want to hire this and take it. So much space and beds to sleep. and probably cheaper on petrol too.

Re: VW T25
Im sure its all standard fit bud or at least as far as I've been lead to believe it all is.sol-lude wrote:Nice one ours was the 1.6 but the guy we bought it of started an aaz conversion which we are putting back together. So no futher questions :p but its nice like the way the bed has been done.

Re: VW T25
@rattymcclelland here is some pics of what I'm meaning so any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated.
Top of windscreen
Above front bumper
Arches are all like this
Between panels (believe this is just sealant?)
Here is how thin the paint has got in places
Only areas I'm worried about but it all seems solid when you hit it
This part is below the door for the gas bottle again it seems really solid when hit
Arch panel with water tank filler, there was a hole were you see the missing screw but was only about an inch, plan is to have this cut and plated again?
Not bad for a van that's on its original paint and is 30 years old this year that was also neglected in a drive for 6 to 7 years.
