build thread.

Hi All, New to the Forum and have just turned VIP for the extra detail & guides. :thumbsup: I've been looking around for ideas and have now completed all my purchases, so it's time to get installing. Silver 2016 T28 Highline 5 Speed purchased, currently sits like this; List of purchased...

So I've just upgraded from a T5 to a T6. Our old van looked like this: We did everything ourselves and fully kitted it out as a camper.

I purchased a 2018 LWB SE shuttle a couple of months ago and began modifying it straight away. We have always dreamed of having a van so basically sold my motorbikes and purchased this shuttle from Scotland. Drove my car up there traded it in and drove this home. 4 hours after collecting it I...

Hi All, So its time for our build thread! We have had our van Cherry (T6 LWB, cherry red!), aka Shushan (an odd joke based on a Jonny English film if memory serves) for a couple of years. Kitted out with a very basic home built bed, with the rear as a bike garage / mucky area. But the time...

Hello everyone. Just collected my T6.1 in Ascot grey from the dealer this evening. I just wanted to start a thread to document my slow, and it will be slow, conversion from van to day van. My wife and I, and our 4 yr old little girl, are all very excited to start this journey and go on...

Good evening, been lurking for a while but just got my T6 this week. 2019 204ps 4MOTION DSG. Dead chuffed at it can't wait to get converting. Jason

I've been meaning to post this for some time and never got around to it, so here we go. We bought a 67 plate LWB 150 Highline Manual with the intention of being able to sleep in it and have a garage for the bikes at the back. A full kitchen conversion etc wasn't ever part of our plans. So the...

Well today my new Crafter arrived after a 6 month wait for a factory order. :) Really pleased, feels like a big T6 to drive. Nice when going from T6 camper to this and back again as everything is in similar positions. This one is for work as I’m an Electrician but would make a great...

:cool: I can't be certain but my T6 must be one of the last TSI PV deliveries in the UK - it was registered on 18th March 2019. So I thought it would make a catchy build thread title, and I'll keep it until proven otherwise! So, I'm starting with an untidy ex-Avis/Budget rental van...

I'm looking into the pros and cons of a TSI engine vs a TDI engine for a new T6 Kombi as above. The TSI version is £30,125 vs £31,361 for the TDI equivalent base model (Startline) I'm really not sure which way to go. The TSI is listed at 31 MPG where the TDI is listed at 46 MPG. This is a...

So picked up my 1st transporter a couple of weeks ago. Looking forward to some tasteful mods. Has 102k miles on it in less than 3yrs. Guess timing belt is first on the list. Interior is as new as the chap used seat and steering wheel covers from new! Still chuffed as its well spec'd 204 BiTurbo...

Hi all, I have bought my 1st Transporter this week & am intending to convert it to a part camper It's a 2017 T6 Highline 150 T32 I spent quite a while trying to find one in the right spec as a good base for conversion and eventually found one with the engine & gearbox that I wanted, tailgate...

Collected the new van yesterday. 2019 Startline with aircon. Not much to see yet, but I made a start today stripping out and cleaning up. Thought I'd keep a record on here.

Shuttle conversion started !

Hi all This thread is hopefully going to be a record of my windsurfing van build - will try and update as things happen but it’s going to be a long slog! I spent a LOT of time on this forum before committing, so a big thank you to all who put time into this site - it’s a very valuable resource...

Hi Guys & Girls, 1st post introing my lockdown conversion. Purchased May '20 as an ex builders run around with the plan to turn it into a van to haul around my work gear (Im a Freelance Sound Engineer) and also act as a weekend warrior overnighter with Stitches + Steel conversion. The SS...

Wanted to start my own little project thread here to document the progress with our new (to us) T6. I've posted in team Candy White etc. however wanted my own little project thread. Its a Dec 2016, 66 plate T32 Highline 204 Kombi. Optional extras included electric folding mirrors and front...

I've been using this forum a lot since i got my first van last september so thought its about time to post some of the work I've managed to achieve thanks to the vast knowledge the other members have. This is my first conversion so by no means am I experienced at this. Hopefully some other new...

I’m moving on from my 2011 SWB T5 Kombi onto a 2016 LWB T6 Kombi. It was my first van to see if I needed and enjoyed owning one. And, I love it. Such a versatile vehicle. It was used as a daily driver, camper and track day motorbike hauler. I’m now moving onto this little beauty... I have some...

Hi I am new around here, but just ordered my Van T6.1 T28 150 DSG Highline Panel van, its being sent without back seats and bulk head. Trying to find a conversion company is proving difficult, was hoping to spend £20k but after adding all the extras it always seems to go over this. Has...
