Newb from west yorkshire vw t2 viking

Hello and welcome from a damp and drizzly Guernsey. Love to hear the history our vans all have, it gives them each a unique character.

 

Hi Rob n Shauna,
I am suffering the same dilemma as yourselves in that my nearside rear corner vent has rust from the inside out. Leave you wallet open

Gary from Halifax but previous forty years in North Leeds.

 

Thanks for the welcomes folks!

Glad to hear its possible to fit rear inertia seatbelts something will have to invest in due course.

Leaving my wallet open... hope it can be remedied inline with the budget as i have a budget for the project.

Im currently just going through photos from the web and restorations here and fining out about how panels are joined and how to do what needs to be done.

I'll start a resto thread with the current info and what ive found so far.

Thanks again everyone!!

Rob

 

Welcome aboard the rollercoaster..

 

Welcome! Looking forward to seeing how you get on.

 

I think they decided to sell the bus

 

I think they decided to keep it...

 

I'm easily confused!

Welcome to them anyway

 

I think they scrapped it.

 

Hi buddy I am in north Leeds, where abouts are you? welcome along and ask away ....

 

Hi from West Lancashire - good luck with the restoration

 

I did this, not too hard, but to do it properly you need to make up some brackets to connect the rear mounts in front of the fuel tank to the chassis inside the rear wheels. To fit the @davidoft brackets you need to make the upper mounts, my resto thread will show you what to do. I used 50 x 20mm box section for the upper mounts and 40 x 40 to make the brackets to the chassis... pages 3-5...
