I love the clean lines - are your indicators in the headlights?

also - how did you achieve the tailgate pressing?

 

Always liked this van - nice to see it again

 

drilled bottom of headlights out and inserted a indicator bulb holder.
the tailgate was achived by cutting up a caddy rear tailgate and welding into place much to the dismay of sum furious caddy lovers.

 

great to see your back mate

.....the server crashed a little while back so that might be where your pics dissapeared

 

Where did you get the speedo and fuel gauge? I saw these at bug jam but have never seen them for sale since.

I would love to replace the std old ones for these.

 

I belive you can get them from vwheritage/streetstylepower they are vdo royale gauges they do other styles but i wanted retro modern look.

you will also need universal speedo cable and if go for fuel gauge tank needs to come out and fit universal sender which had to have a plate welded in to except. but worth while It works out to around £550 for all gauges and cables and senders

 

Nice. I can handle that. They do look lush. Cheers.

 

Thumbs up, looking good

 

looking good mate

good to have you back

 

Hey, great to hear from you again

 

Welcome back mate, I loved your van first time round, it's still looking brill

 

Welcome back stranger. Panels rock!

 

Welcome back, loving the look of the panel van.

 

Hi m8 nice van.

 

Thanks for all the comments

 

Very nice indeed..

 

Is the merging of a caddy tailgate into the back of a t2 a popular mod then? I think it looks the K9 Nads.

 

Very nice, that looks a huge amount of work
Love the clean lines
