[@ismaa-eelpetersen9401]

Love the new van... Good luck with the project ahead... But 2 tone is your best option... Just looks more classic.... And Veronica seems to be the name already lol

[@ShaneandAneVanLife]

Thanks for watching 😊❤️ I don't think Ane will allow Veronica 🤣🤣🤣

[@funwithgin2041]

Love it, as always. Also love that Fergus has an older sister. Since she’s air cooled and you have a cut price air con system, I was thinking Windy. But Shaun said she should have a Spanish name, so how about Venta? Is it close enough to Veronica? Xx

[@ShaneandAneVanLife]

Not sure if it's an older brother or sister yet 🤣🤣 Venta the Air cooled bus sounds good!!

[@irideforlife]

Ooops

[@thelittleredbus]

Funny video and I knew what was going on! You two are hilarious. How about calling it Saoirse, a good Irish girls name meaning “Freedom”? Although Veronica has a ring to it… and it’s a Latin name, meaning “Victorious”. Or Viridiana, a Spanish name meaning “green”. As for the colour, either stick to the two tone theme with either the original green, or Fergus’ blue to show a family connection? You certainly have your work cut out - not tempted to drop a Subaru engine in her?

[@ShaneandAneVanLife]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Veronica just came to my head for some reason haha Saoirse is also nice nobody from outside Ireland or UK could pronounce it haha Yellow and white or orange and white is what we like so far but that could change haha Seemingly subary swaps aren't that hard in these buses 🤔🤔

Hi Guyz, welcome to the t2 club, good lookin bus you got there, sliding door for right hand drive are hens teeth, so you need to be extra vigilant to source one, as it happens I saw one on eircooled site this evening but that's just a rarity, all the other stuff is not too hard to source, cab doors would be your next struggle, good ones I mean, Emerald sounds good or Emer and you get to keep the key ring, Best of luck going forward.☮

[@ShaneandAneVanLife]

Thanks Joe!! Yeah sliding door is hard to find. We have 2 doors that need new skin just :) Need top of a dash also

[@roryconroy3701]

A tad Crusty at the moment, but I'm sure it will be beautiful after a lot of elbow grease! I had one back in the 90's used to carry a large bottle of petrol behind the drivers seat as the petrol gauge was broke!!!! Oh the good life😂😂😂 it screams CRUSTY😅 good luck with it guys👍👍👍

Good God what have you done! back to the old school air cooled the bodywork looks pretty good, once it's running and steering you be well on your way!

I ask myself that question everytime I look at it 🤣🤣🤣 A steering box was in the back of it I'll have to figure out our to put it in. I love the air cooled engines. Body work is good. Just a small bit kf welding to be done. We are in no rush to finish it haha Fergus won't ever be leaving us haha

[@mallie35]

I love T2 Kombis, all Volkswagens really but I dunno about a T2 with an aircooled engine being more reliable than a T3 unless Fergus is aircooled engine too and/or the motor is buggered. I wanted a T2 or T3 camper, ended up getting a T6 to use as my daily too. Good luck with the build.

[@ShaneandAneVanLife]

A man once said to me that the air cooled engines are brilliant but if you get a bad one then it's torture haha I plan on getting this motor rebuilt. We would love a T6 but they're so expensive. Thanks for watching 😊😊

[@billflintoft6170]

When you freshen up the 1600 you may want to increase the displacement. As a owner of a T3 with a 1600 Fergus would probably beat me up a hill. LOL. As for a name I got a few, Anabel Betty, Elanor, Gertie, and Maybell. For colour how about Key Lime?

[@ShaneandAneVanLife]

Yeah I was thinking of getting it rebuilt overtime to be more reliable and a bit more poke! Hahah Fergie and Gertie 🤣🤣 The original colour is Tiagra green so not a million miles off

[@pyronitro]

IMHO, for long distance drives, i would take Fergus. for putt-putting around within 100mi, "Veronica" should be right. specially with a 1600 engine. if you put in a subaru engine or similar then you can go long distance. but more like a weekender. also, Fergus is a modern body compared to a T2 with better impact absorbing bodies. i vote for Sage Green Color and add a camper top. Good Luck and Enjoy! i would name her Elinor. like King Fergus and Queen Elinor in Brave movie :)

[@ShaneandAneVanLife]

Ohh 100% Fergus will always be pur main van. The opportunity just came up and we had to buy it. It will be a lot of work to get back together but it will.be fun when it's done 😊😊
