Hi @Scot Welcome to the Forum. Lots of great people here with a wealth of experience and expertise who are only too willing to help and advise if asked. Good luck in your quest to find your new drive.

Cheers for the reply.
Been looking for a van for a while but I'm sure the right one will appear soon.

@Scot
Weclome to this forum mate, which is far better than the previous..

@Scot One more thing. In your quest try to find a vehicle with H7 headlights and not H4s or insist on an upgrade if the dealer is keen to make the sale.

 

[T6 Dave]

@Scot , welcome to the madhouse, believe me they appear when you least expect them (t6's), and the right one will just be... Mine certainly has been.

 

[Scot]

Thanks guys
cheers

Thought I'd take the opportunity to introduce myself. I have a Kombi T32 150 SWB in blackberry on order with delivery hopefully early May.
I'm a photographer so need a vehicle that can fulfil day to day driving duties, be a work vehicle and a camper for my wife and our dogs.
So now I'm excitedly researching companies and forum threads to help inform my conversion plans.

Thanks Fish.
This seems like a very friendly & helpful forum!
I started off wanting a California (which I couldn't afford) but then realised that I actually needed something more bespoke to meet my needs (= compromises!).
I went with a new order as the colour is important for my business brand (did I mention I like purple??) and I wanted an EU6 engine as I intend to run the van for a long time.

View attachment 4562 It's been a mad day, new toy delivered and my beloved T5 gone to a new home. Listers dropped off my new toy about 3, fair play with a free tank of fuel and a goodie box. Looks amazing in the Oryx white paint and the sport-line kit fitted, gone with stain black side bars and new SL alloys. Well impressed with new comfort dash, only got a few pictures, post more tomorrow. Pop and see you tomorrow @StudleyGlass

Ah man - @Blindman - can't believe i missed this....first oryx I've seen with the sportline kit as mine will look ( first week March fingers crossed)

Looks the dogs mate

 

[Blindman]

Yeah wasn't sure at first but glad I've had it fitted, get lots of interest. I think they are a bit of a grower, but look fantastic. Not sure about the new side rails? They haven't even fitted a bungs to stop weather and crap getting into them..a bit poor.

@Blindman
Could you explain the 'bungs' alittle more pls?. Thanks.

 

[Blindman]

At the ends of the side bars they are open? Could do with some kind of seal so they are not open to elements. Not like T5 round bars that are all solid.

 

[Blindman]

That's the back of the side bar if you can make it out.

 

[Fish]

Great thanks.

@YellowHound Yes, you certainly got that right - friendly with a wealth of experience and expertise that they are prepared to share if asked. You may wish to follow the @slidepods lineout and conversion of @Thogg's vehicle that is being posted on the Forum with how-to tips and advice.

 

[T6 Dave's Dad]

By the way @Thogg , on behalf of all the Forum members may I say thank you for you agreeing to @slidepods bringing this to us. You deserve a big

 

[StudleyGlass]

@BigBarn @a11y Haha mine too - but my son loves it. He think's it his race van! I'm hoping I can get 3 more in there.

This it the item - really pleased with it. Will be sending the seller more pictures once we have more bikes in!

VW T5/T6 BIKE MOUNT/CARRIER/RACK

And I'm using a mix of brackets so I can get the handlebars at different heights.

Once I have more bikes in I will post some more picture for you!

Hi,

This link no longer works, do you have details of the seller so I could try and contact them?

Really like the look of this method of transporting the bikes.

Thanks
