1976 VOLKSWAGEN T2 CAMPER CHRISTMAS PROJECT INTRODUCTION

[@Rsk-developments]

Well done the pair of you. Nice looking camper

[@antandjen]

@@Rsk-developments thanks pal hows the micra

[@besenzon1]

Get a Birth certificate from Classic Volkswagen parts. Only takes a few weeks to arrive. Always great to discover the history. Good luck with the restoration

[@antandjen]

@besenzon1 will have a look in to that thank you 😊

I also have a 2.0l type 4 engine in my bus. The thing I noticed which is critical to cooling is the rhs tinware is missing underneath from the exhaust heat exchanger to the crank case. Really important that otherwise the engine doesn’t cool properly and cooks itself. Good project. I’m prepared to be very impressed if you do it in the timescale you’ve mentioned. The tend to be onions of problems. You remove one layer and find another. Etc. best of luck.

[@antandjen]

@bobmcelvogue8133 tha k youni have seen a few bits of puping I need to get and yes I will be impressed to if I pull this off 🤣🤣

Looking forward to watching all the videos, I’ll have a camper one day! Best of luck with it 😊

[@antandjen]

@gazevans251 thank you keep at it we always said the same thing

[@llmikeyj1]

You've probably tried them already but Alan Schofields in Glossop are a good source for the smaller repair panels.

[@antandjen]

@llmikeyj1 i did look at them thay have someone bits

[@pauldean1021]

You have a Devon Moonraker. 2 litre type 4 with twin 34mm carburettor. A lovely van. The original covers orange and brown tartan on the roof beds. If you get matching covers for the roof beds to match the blue and cream then I would buy the brown tartan covers off you. The Devon conversions were built in Sidmouth, Devon. If you look behind the passenger seat you may find an original plate with the paint codes. It would have been white top half with either green, orange, beige lower half. Good luck with the bodywork repairs.

[@antandjen]

@pauldean1021 tank you for info the plate is there behind te seat not looked at it tho I believe it was orange as all the engine bas is and looks original we are looking to cover the top bed matching the seats so ould definitely sell the ones I have on

[@chrisst8922]

IIRC two tone paint stopped the year before and they were all one colour

[@Jack_Rn]

looking forward to the rest of the project - looks really cold in there!

[@antandjen]

@Jack_Rn it's not the warmest 😭 but il fight thru it

[@Greyfox1302]

Just a quick one about the front drag links. Only one is adjustable from factory. I’ve recently seen people buying a pair of adjustable ones to make setting up the tracking an easier job. I’d already done mine when I found this out. If you haven’t done it yet you could exchange one? Either way I’m looking forward to watching your progress because I’m halfway through doing the same job but because of rust not damage but still the whole right side. Only difference is I’ll be joining the big panel 1/3 way up. Good luck with it. 👍🏽

[@antandjen]

I have fitted original to it but may look onto that as I was looking at tracking and looks like a right pain to do good luck with your build id love to see it

[@Greyfox1302]

@ just watching part 2 as you replied👍🏽 have a look at soren Rasmussen his channel is Angora Restoration. Loads of videos on baywindow suspension

[@antandjen]

@Greyfox1302 tha k you il have a look not many good channels for bay windows I can't never find any

[@MarcusTDM]

That's actually quite a nice van. Better to be fixing the cash damage rather than rot.

[@antandjen]

@MarcusTDM yeah definitely there realy dont seam to be alot of rust so far

[@Rsk-developments]

I had to start all over again with youtube. I put it on hold for a while. When I came to enable it again I lost everything. I'm waiting on a cherry hall sensor then it's more or less done

[@antandjen]

Oh no that's not good.are you back.at it now

[@Rsk-developments]

@antandjen I will be.

[@antandjen]

@Rsk-developments let me know when u are and il get waching pal

[@james3418]

nice project mate looks a solid van do you mind if i ask how much you paid for it ? thanks

[@antandjen]

@james3418 I don't mind I got from copart for £4500 plus there usual so worked out just shy of 6k I will go thru numbers at the end

[@james3418]

@@antandjen great price you paid mate got to be worth at least £18k all fixed up 👍

[@antandjen]

@james3418 I can only hope so but this is one for me and Jen it's definitely had a few pound spent on it tho

[@Focusfury05]

​@@antandjen You can't fall off there bud.. I'd much rather buy one that's had few ££s spent on it, than one that's had nothing! Great buy that pal. 👌 Can't wait to see how she ends up.😊
