Dam that's the other end of the scale from a 911.
Could be made quite cool big bed and widescreen tv in the back spirit optics fitted. and a decent wrap :grin: :thumb: I might even get persuaded as well

Nice T4!!

I bought my father in law one about a month ago. Its fully converted into a camper with a gas hob, double bed, wardrobe and running water!

Its even got disco lights and LED downlights in the roof!

The best bit? Its the Audi derived 2.5 TDI engine which has done 306,000 miles and is going very strong. Its been remapped to a whopping 136bhp, but its a nice thing to drive.

There are a couple of classic engine bits to sort out - small oil leak from the filler neck gasket, but its had both timing belts done 10k miles ago so I think it'll out live all of us!

T4, the last of the over-engineered VW vans......

Ragpicker - if you ever manage to fix that oil leak on the filler neck let me know! My 2.5 LT35 has leaked for the last three years and i can never get it to seal :sad: .... Ta in advance.

....Mines an elderly LT35 from 1996 that i use for track days with the bikes - Ive tried new o-ring seals on the joint between filler neck and rocker but it never seems to stop it for very long. Don't know if the T4 has the same design though as its engine bay is a whole lot more cramped than an LT. It's worth trying to fix it as eventually the oil leak softens the exhaust manifold gasket and it will start leaking. The exhaust gasket is an easy fix on the LT as there is plenty of room but i don't suspect it will be so easy on the T4 ..... Sorry to be the bearer of bad news!!

Nice, I can see a van thread starting soon!!!

Mine had a new engine in 2006 at 84k, so this has only done 70k, with FULL VW service history from Breeze in Poole. Amazing condition for age.

It's replaced my 2001 1.4tdi Polo £30 tax as a daily. This does everything and more.

I wasn't this emotional about the 911 as I have been the last few days with this thing.

Saw that 'rust' wrap thread the other day and was thinking about a wrap. Homage to the 911's. I would put Hollow spokes or Sport Classic wheels on but too small, need at least 20".

Cayenne wheels look ok:

HSC911 · 30 Mar 2016

Some inspiration:

Just cool:

Ghost · 30 Mar 2016

Takes me back to when I were a nipper and custom vans, usually transits or Bedfords, were a thing, with murals all over them and everything inside trimmed out with fluorescent fur!! :floor:

Captain Lockheed · 30 Mar 2016

I have a MWB High top 311 sprinter.
3 bikes in the Back.
5 seats
rear windows
leisure battery
Cooker, microwave, fresh and waste water
Eberspacher heater
fold away beds.

It is called rusty.

Each to their own, but I like to be able to stand up in the back, which you can't do in a smaller van.

That Martini t2 is GORGEOUS

Norfolk &amp; Idea · 30 Mar 2016

Oh man, I love vans. Trouble is they're a slippery slope to 'Mods ville'. I do like the T5/6. I've got a Vito Sport myself, chipped up to 254 bhp. As mentioned above, I too use it to cart my bike about for track days. I totally get the van vibe! Enjoy....

Tell me about it :sad: :sad: :sad:

Joined the T4/T5 forum, be jeeesussssssss!!!!

Some things that people have done to bog std vans :worship:

I've got a list as long as my arm already, but just keep adding and adding...I think I will just stick to outside mods, if I want the inside doing then I will just buy one done already.

Wheels and coilovers first priority...or shall I go air ride :?:

coullstar · 1 Apr 2016

Been toying with getting one of these for the past couple of years. I think we will in the next year or so. Was going to go the same route as you i.e. Shuttle so its more car like inside, twin sliding doors etc. SWB for us though. Im right in saying there classed as cars as well so you can do 70mph on duallers as well?

I reckon a wee drop with some banded 17in steels looks really cool with a couple of subtle spoilers.

The problem is finding one for decent money, they certainly hold their value!!!
