I found this channel whilst looking for a how to remove radiator guide for T5, I then watched each episode back to back, I have some similar other issues that need sorting in the near future, so I will 100% be referring to these vids again. Top job on the T5 looks spot on. Looking forward to binge watching your golf resto now.

Have watched all vids lad looking forward to next project

[@DanChambersDAC]

Thank you for watching and for the comment!

[@troyke3]

How about raffling it off? I know most people that have watched the channel would probably like to own it and it’ll give everyone a chance? Definitely make your money back and more? Worth a thought

[@justincurrie8674]

Definitely

[@steveeagles5485]

Definitely raffle.I’d happily pay a tenner for a chance to win it.With 12k subs,you’ll only need a fraction of us to take part.I’m sure the majority would have a go.

[@DanChambersDAC]

Thank you for watching and for the comment! I had thought of this, Problem is that there are legal implications with raffling. You need a gambling licence or a company that has one that will then want paying for the service. way around it is to sell a piece of merchandise and each piece gives an entry but would have to sell a lot of merch to raise the money needed. Possibly for a future cheaper vehicle to test it out with...

[@redstar612]

The Van looks Snazzy ✌

[@DanChambersDAC]

Great journey fella looking forward to rewaching this series

[@DanChambersDAC]

Thank you for watching and for the comment!

[@stevenwilliams4862]

What.. Final vid! I was looking forward to seeing what you were going to do to the inside. I think you should definitely continue the build and complete this baby. You’ve done so well so far! Also, it would definitely be worth more then what you are considering selling for currently. 👌 Enjoyed the channel thoroughly!

[@DanChambersDAC]

Thank you for watching and for the comment! Would love to have done a full conversion on it but I think all of the profit would have gone from it. If it was bought to build and use myself I maybe would have but it was always a project.

Banger job! Think i'll re-watch this series a few times. 👍🏻 Excited to see your next project! Would you consider mounting a few tiedown points in the rear on the next one, just to make it a bit more practical?! --- (p.s.: side-by-side shots of before and after would've been the cherry on top, for all the ones tuning in just now - cuz you _really_ brought that thing back from the dead!)

[@DanChambersDAC]

Thank you for watching and for the comment! I need to decide on the next project. I meant to add side by sides in... the videos was mega rushed so I could get this video out and get it up for sale.... need to be more organised!

Looks well buddy, shouldn’t be hard to sell

[@DanChambersDAC]

Thank you for watching and for the comment! Sold within 4 day's!

[@nimjarider1990]

No doubt it’ll sell as it’s a lovely little van now. Would of been cool to raffle it off though. With 12.5k subs you’d of got the tickets sold to cover the cost and someone who’s been enjoying the project could of had an awesome win out of it.

[@DanChambersDAC]

Thank you for watching and for the comment! I did look into it but you need a gambling licence or someone with a gambling licence. I am going to look into it for a future project I think as I have had a lot of comments about it.
