We've gone full circle. Now ripping out the rock n roll and having a u shape sofa put in with one end longer to hold the potty and give a fixed bed. Love your style though I need more space.

[@tonydalton6756]

I love the OEM look on T4's, that's what made us all fall in love after all. I'm 3 years into a 2002 Velle LWB sedan restoration & keeping it Velle. (It has all the bells & whistles) My daily will get renovated once that's done. It's a standard 2.5TDi SWB van but will be going all camper with suspension lift & army/utility equipment all round. It's great to see other peoples dedication & gives me the urge to get that quality standard that your van has.

[@ADHDCUSTOMS]

Ah another fellow t4 content maker 😎🤙. Very cool bus. Love the colour.

[@markbeaton6727]

Amazing Van, You'd be surprised with some knowledge and some emagination what you can achieve by just a van and converting into a campervan,,Well done guys, I like it a lot,...I've retired now I, Wanted a campervan for years, Because of work commitments ,I wouldn't use the campervan as afton as i would like.,,Couple of months ago want out and bought, one,,20yrs old and it's in very good condition, T4. Can't wait to go on my travels,,

[@notsosmartmart5402]

Nice one, you've inspired me to get my T4 back on the road.. Thank you

[@neilowen9468]

Gorgeous van! 👌🤙

[@loam_chef]

Just bought a '95 Caravelle and this is some inspiration. Good to see Colin rides MTB and has the Peaty's freshener up front 😉

[@colinlee5429]

Well spotted that man! 🤙

[@TwiggsT4]

Awesome van, only found this channel from Colins insta, love the content 🤙🤙🤙

[@adiehull]

Wow, what a stunning T4 🤙🏼

[@doogleman69]

Awesome guys! Love the colour. Ours has a little way to go to get like that! 😜

[@ivanbullen4284]

Cheers for the tip on retro trimmers. I've just bought some of those door handle trims and a tailgate handle

[@colinlee5429]

They are excellent, take your time trimming them. Check out t4 family on KZbin for a great guide 👍🏻

[@PranceProject]

Always nice to see t4 content, lovely clean van well done all that was involved in the build, hopefully one day I will come down and show you guys my t4

[@miguelalfredo8802]

you all prolly dont give a damn but does someone know a tool to get back into an Instagram account? I stupidly forgot the password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me.

[@magnusclay9978]

@Miguel Alfredo instablaster =)

[@miguelalfredo8802]

@Magnus Clay i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and Im trying it out now. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@miguelalfredo8802]

@Magnus Clay it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thank you so much you saved my ass :D

[@magnusclay9978]

@Miguel Alfredo Happy to help =)

[@motiv8154]

Great video, great info right theeeeeer 🤟🏾

[@scotty5403]

I like the vauxhall vectra C push out cup holders on the dash nice touch 👍🏼

[@everydaybiker]

Great inspiration, thanks

[@johnmcdonald489]

I think they are my new favourite wheel for a T4

[@stevefarnan1131]

Awesome looking van Colin, and cheers Leigh for a another great video.

[@davidwaterhouse2552]

The T4 is my favourite model ( I am 57 so should like the older one's better, but practicality with a bit of retro is very important to me personally) I love the colour, and love the pop up roof (extra bedroom) but please can anyone tell me ; the point ,and benefit of lowering the suspension? Some would say it looks better? Possibly! Is handling on this vehicle so bad that it needs lowering? If you are in 'minor off road situation' how does 'lowering 'affect this ???? Cheers dx

[@snappyfish]

Lovely van. exactly how id want one. :)

[@colinlee5429]

Thanks 😊

[@ironian24]

great video, just wondering if those wheels hit the arches when on full steering lock, Mine do if I hit a bump and now the wheel arches are rusting because of it sadly. I own an 888 special and love mine, all kitted out, now I want to do a stitched leatherette dashboard, and seat covers to match as well as carpeted flooring to finish the cab, will you be doing a video on doing a leatherette dashboard cover? would be great if you do.

[@davidparker2724]

I have got a late long nose 888 Xpack van that came from factory with 5x120 wheel fitment. With not needing the adaptors and hence the wheels not being moved out, will these wheels fit my van easier?

[@ivanbullen4284]

Could you show us how to change over and old knackered tailgate for a newer one on a T4 please when you do another T4 vid in future. Cheers Leigh

[@colinlee5429]

That would be a great video 👍🏻

[@bartosz2524]

Really nice wheel setup :-) okay you have 20mm adaptors from 5x112 to 5x120 - rims 17x7 et55? What about tire size?

[@nevillebloodybartos]

Subscribed ✌️

[@cjay1262]

Looks MINT.! Can someone please tell me how to deal with camber, after lowering. I have lowered my T4, 50mm and am chewing out the inside of my tyres every 9months(approx). I am running 235 x 45 x 18. Wheel alignment is sorted but, camber is causing the problem. Any info on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

[@marcusharris581]

Really want a T4 now. Time to swap my T25 I think.

[@citroeno]

wise move

[@allanb52]

Lowering and low profile tyres makes a campervan completly impracticle, full stop.

[@colinlee5429]

Thanks for your intelligent input, no one said it was the best option??? Definitely looks good though full stop

[@allanb52]

@@colinlee5429 I am an engineer and it only looks good if it works and vice-verca. However, once you call it art....well anything goes. I have a Vivaro and that corners really well, stuff falls all over the place way before any limit. So if it a handling thing you must have everything nailed down. Enjoy.

[@McferranGlenn]

cool bus dood

[@vanlifeforgoldenrhodes]

N I C E !

[@KingstonHomeMaintenance]

Nice van, are the struts for the tailgate extra strong with having that bike rack attached, I'm assuming the extra weight may have caused an issue with the tailgate staying up, lovely build.

[@CombeValleyCampers]

You're right. Stronger struts were fitted to deal with the extra weight

[@aimeelonsdale988]

Strange I live in Turkey and. You don't see barn doors and VW's are everywhere

[@vitezmarcellberezvay3867]

What kind of wheel is that i need one

[@bigeein]

Do you guys have any videos on barn door to tail gate conversion. That would be a great video

[@CombeValleyCampers]

Its been discussed

[@bigeein]

Don’t forget there is a big caddy van scene as well guys.

[@KBBMX]

What width adapters did you use with the T5 wheels? ..... Love the fitment 👌

[@colinlee5429]

Thanks, I belive they are 20mm check out sc customs on fb for more info 👍🏻

[@sivaslibora]

ohaa nice nice

[@jackcloth2265]

Are they the t6 steelies? How did you make those fit as I thought they were different fitment? Any tips? Looks stunning!

[@colinlee5429]

T5/6 gp steels. They have adaptors fitted. Check out sc customs on fb for more information 👍🏻

[@briancohen1967]

Nice bus where did you get the shelf above the side window thanks

[@colinlee5429]

Thanks, this was done by a conversion company where I got the bed from. You can buy the aluminium profile from clearcut conversions 👍🏻

[@jonathancole9829]

Lovely van but that hat, oh that hat.🤘

[@martoonf]

[@abstrahujacod5130]

(3196) Transporter T4 Przyczepa CAMPER - KZbin

[@allanb52]

4 interiors in 7 years, sounds like a disaster. I built my Vivaro 8 years ago and it is fine, all works 200+ nights on. Not a good advert, so what kept going wrong, a money pit of all money pits. Even now it has no practical use at all just a posers day van, lowering a camper just screws everything up. This does nothing for me, sorry lads.

[@hbguitar]

Annoyingly I can’t actually find where you’re based???

[@travelbug81]

Hellingly, East Sussex

[@kaiserchaoui6143]

Too low for a camper
