build thread.

Finally got the chance to build the van I really want. It will be used for surfing, cycling, camping and hopefully some epic trips abroad. Retiring this year so want to get it sorted in time for the summer. It started out as a LWB Kombi 4Motion with an EU5 180 engine. Most powerful vehicle I...

This is mine and the wife’s first ever VW Transporter, it’s being converted at the moment can’t wait to have it finished in March. The van is basic but after it’s finished should look lovely. The wife had a very beetle a few years ago in sundown orange and wanted the van half and half, it’s...

Starting to come together a bit now, it’s a high line lwb 150dsg so far has it lowered on raceline eibach springs 50mm and added the Porsche wheels with h&r adapters I went for 265/40/20 tyres, also added a mk7 style dsg steering wheel last night will add pics later

Purchased back in 2018, what started life as a simple panel van has quite literally become my pride and joy, Everything that’s been done so far (apart from the rear cushions) has been done in house with just me and my dad Hopefully it will be finished by this summer so it can make it to a few...

Hi folks, just joined up but have had a T5 2.5 for about 4 years now. Its a SWB shuttle and used as family car etc but Im on the hunt for a Tsi Shuttle T6. The thing is they seem to be very rare. Who out there has one or knows of them? Ideal spec would be a remapped 8 seat SWB red Tsi...

How did we get here??? We decided some years back when planning a family that we would not holiday abroad when the kids are young, with that in mind we made the decision to buy a 8 man tent and go camping in the summer months which we did with all the baby gear two cars etc, never even used an...

Hello all, been trolling through the forum for over a year now, found it very useful when we decided to purchase a t6 to convert into a camper, so I thought nows the time to say hello and post a few pics of “Wynona” our self build van. Conversion took 7 months to finish and we...

So, given I have gleaned so much information from this site in regard to the attempted conversion of my newly acquired T6 I thought it only fair to take some time and share my pictures and experience. This is my 2016 T6 LWB Higline 140BHP. I held out for the 6 speed as felt the 5 wouldn't have...

I purchased a work van. I always go for the MPV versions for work vehicles as it allows me to do higher speeds and that helps with the long miles. However after doing a few jobs we simply cannot use it as a work van so its time for our T5 part camper to go and for this to be our full on camper...

Hi all, Picked up a new Kombi van few months ago and started our conversion journey. We don't really have a solid plan on what we are doing but will use it as we go along and develop it organically as we determine what we need. Its a daily drive so I wanted a 5 seater from the off with some...

Hi, This is not the first conversion I have done, but it is the first time I have tried to capture the sequence of events photographically and then add some kind of description. I do not claim to be a pro converter or any good at blogging, so please forgive any spelling or grammatical...

So, I'm about ready to book in for a conversion, currently got a SWB kombi. Just wondering what people don't find useful about there conversions and would do differently if speccing one now!

Hello all We don't really put enough pics on here of our work, but recently on the REVO demo day, they had a photographer, who took some 'proper' pics of our latest demo, which is a T30 SWB Kombi 204BITDI 4Motion DSG, which literally has every single factory options, and then has been enhanced...

Hi all! I've been lurking on the forum since early last year whilst looking into getting a t6 to convert in to a camper, picking up ideas and learning as much as I could, I have to say, this is a fantastic place with some very knowledgable people and I certainly wouldn't be able to take on a...

Hey everybody, First off I wanna thank the forum for all the useful info I found here, that really helped me decide which van to buy, and how to convert it to what we wanted. For those who read my 1st post on the forum, I asked around for ideas onto how we could go camping with a double cab...

Hello everybody, I have created a new thread to document the progress of my conversion. Here is my new van :-

@t6bluebell on instagram bluebell (@t6bluebell) • Instagram photos and videos I thought it was about time I put together a thread on my T6 journey from buying a kombi to converting and enjoying a bus that meets our various needs as a family. Words and pictures to follow...

Started my project with help from SK Campers, Morley, Leeds. Multi use van for watersports and mtb hence the lashing point retention and rubber floor. SK have done a top job and dead easy to deal with. Bring on summer!

Hello everyone. Picked up our 2017 T30 Kombi (Hugh) today and wasted no time when we got home prepping him for conversion. Silent Coat, Insulation, Carpet & Glue ready and waiting in the garage but 1st job tomorrow will be lifting the floor and giving Hugh's back end a good clean. :eek:

Picked my new caravelle up today Really impressed with it so far All the space I need for 5 kids and 2 dogs Definitely need the coilovers fitting soon feels a bit unsure on roundabouts and corners but overall great so far Already fitted the gloss black side bars and have it booked it for...
