Goodbye VW Transporter T6.1...

[@steggunn1]

Stunning van , miss my old t5 , went down to a caddy now I can only dream of owning something like that lol

[@Stewart_Bell]

Enjoyed the van tour thank you. I think it's well worth doing these tours as it shows off a lot of stuff. From that video I've learned of your floor blank set which I'm about to go and order now, byeee...

[@THQAutomotive]

Thanks for your comment, glad it helped :)

[@conorcoleman5463]

What a Van, picked up a T5 6 months ago and slowly modding it lots of good ideas here!

[@THQAutomotive]

They're the best. Enjoy your journey and build. Glad to be some inspiration.

[@nickrendell4300]

Such an awesome looking van especially the front bumper. Will sell fast.🔥🔥🔥👍🏻

[@THQAutomotive]

It's sold already. A competition company will be raffling it off.

[@ABusAndBeyond]

Nicest looking van I’ve seen for a while 👌

[@THQAutomotive]

Thank you, means a lot 😊

[@Ben-up7xi]

Lovely van. Shame only 2% of the country can afford one.

[@THQAutomotive]

Thanks

[@commuterbranchline8132]

Try buying any new or new-ish vehicle at the minute, it’s a fortune no matter what you try to buy not just VW modified stuff. The days of picking up a 2003 T4 888 Special kombi for £3995 are but a dream…… You’ll need to get your Delorian out of the barn and get her up to 88 mph to get back to those good old days……..

[@THQAutomotive]

Thank you for saying so :)

[@dant4621]

Can i ask what power bank is in the back please, that you said trickle charges from engine, as mine is not a camper just my every day van but power would be handy. Great van by the way Thanks

[@THQAutomotive]

This is an eco flow. We installed an ignition live in the rear though so its always charging when the ignition is on.

[@dant4621]

[@THQAutomotive]

Thanks mate ☺️

[@A5SEN.]

Please please please tell me you will produce the side panels for the wingbacks! It's the worst part about having them fitted!

[@THQAutomotive]

We can 3D print them, they need work though to finish this. Sanding and trimming etc. We just don't have time to finish them to get them to a saleable product really.

[@julianhammond3070]

Love it man such a good looking van love the interior 🔥🔥💪

[@THQAutomotive]

Thank you. It turned out pretty special :)

[@jtalby]

Loving the updated rear badge, so much less chrome. Do you know if it will fit the recess of the t5.1 tailgate?

[@THQAutomotive]

Not sure. The are a mission to fit though. The badge needs re shaping at the back.

[@jtalby]

@@THQAutomotive looks ace though, worth it

[@dive_with_matt]

Great video. I’ve just picked up a Caddy as a daily and looking at converting it into a day van, I know you guys are specific to Transporters, would you happen to know anyone who does something similar for the Caddy?

[@THQAutomotive]

I don't really, sorry

[@JohnYoungCORNWALL]

What is Dynamica. I have painted my A and B pillars, but I like what you have done

[@THQAutomotive]

It's a premium suede effect product. It's used in premium manufacturers vehicles, Porsche, Ranger Rover, rolls royce seats and headlining etc.

[@DarrenLythgoe]

Could We get a video on the black 4motion please

[@THQAutomotive]

Yeah for sure. It's nearly finished

[@Elitevolkswagens]

Stunning van! You’ve put some serious work into this mate! 👌🏽

[@THQAutomotive]

Thanks mate 🙏

[@s1_vbe]

Who ever wins this then pls appreciate it as its amazing. Hope I do and enjoy it

[@scottcyoung]

Lush wheels. *The side windows* Exactly what I'm looking for. Please can you tell me what exact name of these windows and who installed them? As I'm anxious about who can fit them correctly. Thanks

[@THQAutomotive]

They are from our sister company, camperglass.co.uk

Can the chair pods be used with a slide pod kitchen …. Also do you do the chameleon windscreen ..??

[@THQAutomotive]

I don't think they can no. We don't do window tint sorry.

[@rachelhemming7081]

Shame you couldn’t raffle it through Aspire Competitions or something similar, sure it would do well and give a fan a chance to own it 🎉🎉🎉

[@THQAutomotive]

I've tried reaching out to them before but had no response. I'd happily raffle it though.

[@rachelhemming7081]

They have a lot of T6.1 campers on there but none are as nice as your van

[@THQAutomotive]

@@rachelhemming7081 we only build special, our vehicles would be ideal for them.

[@finmac5548]

Good idea…..although I probably spent what this van is worth on tickets trying to win one of those campers before I bought my own one!! 😢

Matt Armstrong KZbin Does his own competitions on a company he set up to support his channel I believe could you team up?? I'd buy a ticket

[@andyhardy322]

What goes in to fitting the rear badge on a t6

[@THQAutomotive]

It's a mission, I wouldn't bother. You have the shave and shape the back of the badge.

[@GlennBourne-m5b]

Very very very interested. Sure it’ll be a auction bun fight £££££💸, but how do I register an interest?

[@THQAutomotive]

Drop me an email. [e-mail]

[@johnson6756242535627]

Are the rear lights the smoked red or clear red version?

[@THQAutomotive]

These are what we call red/clear. They are the most OEM looking which I like.

[@johnson6756242535627]

Perfect, hoped they were! thanks I’ve been waiting to see a set of them on a van for months, order coming your way shortly!!

[@ianmorris8758]

Did I miss the price? How much is she going for?

Lovely van but I cannot ever see or understand the point of something that will take me into the countryside on rough roads & in Scotland gravel tracks. There’s your million pound spoiler gone etc etc. no for me . Standard shocks all day long because I want to take it everywhere.

[@THQAutomotive]

But this lifts to standard height at the touch of a button. Plus it's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more comfortable than standard suspension. Oh and at the touch of a button, I can lower it to get it in lower car parks.

Over priced and over rated! I live in the SW of England and these things are everywhere. Sheep buy them and sheep follow sheep! A decent Transit custom is so much better, much more affordable and I think they look better. VW just silly silly overpriced.

[@THQAutomotive]

Ok

[@Vwfan]

I leased a Transit Custom for 3 years. Terrible uncomfortable van. Lots of things went wrong. Glad when it went back. Now own a T6.1 LWB Sportline in Pure Grey. Fantastic van and great to drive. I’m a mod on the T5 & T6 forum so maybe biased 😂

[@THQAutomotive]

@@Vwfan greedy, they are great vans. We have a 204dsg 4motion we've Caravelled. We'll always keep hold of that. I have to say, I am impressed with the new Transit though. I'd never driven the old one.

[@Vwfan]

@@THQAutomotive love the look of the new Custom. When my Van is 3 years old I’ll retire it and lease either the new VW or Custom as being a builder I wouldn’t want to ruin the VW. Two years old and 7500miles on it!
