Is Temu some kind of 'safe word' for you two.... 😂😂

Just thinking not seen a vid from you guys in a while. Glad alls good and your busy busy busy.

VW didn't sort out the rust issues til the T4 but my favourite one is the T2. You can still get loads of parts for them too.

That's a fitting number plate for the Volvo 240. I've always loved those old Swedish barges

How did you get the lights to work

I have a 1988 244 DL. I really like what you did with your headliner. Thank you for the inspiration. How much of a gap is there between the headliner and the roof at the widest point, and where is this point located? The reason I ask is, I once owned an FJ cruiser, it had tweeters mounted on the back side of the headliner. You could not see them, but you sure could hear them. It gave a whole new experience to music.. I would like to use the same setup on the Volvo if possible. I'm all ears to any ideas you throw my way. And please throw any ideas regarding speakers on the dashboard and on the rear interior sail panels etc.... I'm open to fabrication and modification. I would like to thank you both for thinking outside the box and using your MacGyvering skills to inspire others to step outside their comfort zone.

Going from the spark plug, to wires, cap/rotor, to the coil's ohms and such.. did you check the ignition module? Its by the battery. I didnt see anyone mention it. Of course check that 25A main fuse by the battery. I'm sure its fixed by now, but for anyone else digging for alternate causes.. Thanks for the video.

So that's what that colour red looks like when all the panels are the same colour. My Dad's Mk2 transit was the same colour, at least the front end was. The rest of the panels were more of a matte pink but the front end got a respray at some point and faded differently.

Can we see the end product...that was stunning

Love the color of red

Simply stunning

Hi there is the nose cone conversion straight forward to do? Do you need to change the wings?

Be prepared to find many bodges

Hi guys. Loved your work! I wonder if you can sell all the kit and send it to Peru. I have a Volvo 240 and really NEED to change the radio. Thank you!

Brings back memories from my childhood, family had a split screen barn door camper, then a T2 low light then the T2 high light. Then I went water cooled with the T25. Nice

"tear down" Y'all ...... I thought they did 'tear downs' on the other side of the Atlantic .... not deepest Welsh Wales!

Fabulous to see you start this project. I've just bought one exactly like this - 1979 in Blue too, my kids are in love with it already. I'll be stripping mine down in my garage at home, hopefully it's not as bad as this one 😂 I'll be doing an intro video on my channel in a couple of weeks' time 👍🏻 P.s. I'll enter your raffle too - will be lovely to have you do the job!! 🤞🏻

A better object couldn't been chosen, in my eyes. 👍👍

Can’t wait to get my looking good

Sorry I'm late to the party, guys! Looking forward to this one & I'm sure it will be THE straightest one on the planet... they're usually wobbly along the sides after restoration! Cheers. Leigh.

It's surprising how popular these vans are, but even more surprising is the amount of rot they have. Having said that they are over 40 years old now, keep up the great work, really looking forward to this one.

Hows it looking underneath, is that something that's part of the restoration? I can't wait to see how you tackle the repairs and of course one of your brilliant pair jobs

That looks like a solid one tbh 😄 That's defo a dashboard out job.

Can I ask what happened to the fiesta supersport? did you it get finished?

I feel a justkampers and vwheritage ordering marathon is imminent 😂 I know that pain all too well! Looking forward to the rest of the build.

Oohh yes, they do get crispy. Ask me how I know.

This is going to be soooo beautiful when you have restored it. I just love watching your masterful work!

New project! A friend of mine is restoring a T2 (home comer from California) with sun roof (!) since about 7 years. Every time I ask I get the same answer: ready for the paint shop. I hope you are a little bit faster… Thanks for the video, I’ll stay curious. See you soon »»» Martin 🚗💨🇫🇷

I always wanted either one of these (earlier model) or a Bug, growing up. Looking forward to the "revival". Was going to ask if you have estimated the hours it will take? Until you strip it back, and are able to find all the hidden stuff (rust, previous repairs), its probably a lottery.

Makes me miss my T2, which had lived in Western Australia most of its life and had almost no rust in it. Sadly sold off cheap before the prices went silly on them as it had a very sick motor and I had no money 😞.

OMG this thumbnail brings back nightmares of our T2! Looking forward to seeing you guys transform this though.

I can smell the rust from here lools like a nice project. Just put the screwdrivers away 😅 they can be disheartening watching them sink into rusty metal knowing there is more repairs needed

My dad is currently doing the same project right now peeps!

When's the fiesta supersport coming back?

I'll get my popcorn out for this build. Love a t2.

That's pretty solid for a bay window! When I cut the front panel off mine I spent quite a while welding up the inner panels as where it had been leaking over the years it was rotting from the inside out! Check the underside of that cab door too, it will probably be rusty!

I'd love to enter the compo but I'd feel guilty if I won and turned up in either my ST150 or Mk3 Mondeo 😂

Is the raffell also for people outside the UK? My 1982 Ford Transit MK2 has the same problem around the windscreen as the VW T2.

Was looking forward to this from I saw it in the videos! Means lots of repairs!

Needs converting to the lower front bumper and front panel whilst restoring

This will be a great project to watch because that van is way worse than it looks, they always are. Hope the customer decides to see it through and not pack it in half way through like a friend of mine did. I look forward to all the content.

Opened a tin of worms there guys they are always far worse than they look, time to buy some tissues for all the tears.

Great grilling you could see the skirming, did you have to use the bright lights & rubber strop to encourage any answers?

I’ll eat glass before getting one of these vans we add one in the 80s and add it fully restored and it was still crap 😂 like riding a 😂rollercoaster😂 but look forward to watching and I love watching Lewis spray Thanks for your videos George the old man in Stoke 👍

Surprisingly little amount of rust - this is a good bus.

The dreaded tin worm 😱 Looking forward to the next instalments 👍

Just finished the exact same vehicle absolute rot box !!! also the customer didn't want any panels replacing just a tidy up (ie fibre glass and bog) , It looks pretty now but not in 6 months time. It will be nice too see it done properly 👍,. I think when you dig into it a whole can off worms will open up we'll see . Good luck you two great work .

This is going to be very interesting.

"Can you dig it, oh yeah" 😁👍

Beautiful! I am more of a Mk1 man, but still LOVE the Mk2 immensely. Best cars ever made imho. I did own a 2.1 Pinto powered (170bhp) genuine Mk2 Mexico. Only sadness was I was 19 and could only afford the £2500 a year insurance (in 1997) for one year. Bloody quick....bloody good fun. I always loved the F.O.R.D grille better than the blue oval too. Great job chaps! (Yes I mean both of you... I mean it as a term of indirement, nothing disrespectful).
