Thought I'd start a build thread as I have finally actually started doing some bits on my van after year of ownership! Picked it up in May last year as I needed a work van and my A4 estate was well and truly on its last legs after being used for all manner of building material transport during...

So after a long time looking and thinking and more looking and thinking I took the plunge on a T6 earlier in the year and luckily before lockdown gathered up all the bits and bobs I was needing to get going. Not got many before pictures but the base van is a base T28 and needed some TLC. The...

Any advice from those that have done similar would be great! Probably a relatively common one, I'm the proud new owner of a t5.1 2014 LWB DSG shuttle which I'll be putting a simple conversion in. I need 6 seats and want to keep it van-able for bikes, carrying loads etc... Thinking some kind of...

Hi all! My first thread on here but been trawling through this site for years, so hopefully doesn’t flop! We (me & dad) have built bespoke racking in the cargo area and thought I would share as I can’t really find much about this on here or other forums, mainly just the premade stuff (correct...

We are nearly at the end of the build with this t6.1, and thought we haven’t put any pics up. This is a fully factory specified 199 4motion, with lots of BMVS options to finish it off. More pics to follow :-)
