My new shite.........

[scoobypete]

Fancied a change from the usual subarus and also wanted something to dissapear for weekends away in,fancied vw but didnt fancy the prices of the campers at the moment...so after a night of drunken bidding on ebay,a lost auction and a second chance offer later i ended up with this....

 

 

 

 

 

Its been owned by the same guy as his busines van for pretty much all of its life,used but serviced regularly too...bodys not pretty but its solid and all there,its 2.0 flat four,ive replaced the rocker cover gaskets and it went through its mot no problems....

Ideal as i can kit it out how i want,full width rock and roll bed is 150quid off ebay...sorted!!

Well bought sir! - I used to drive one the same colour for work many, many years ago and absolutely loved it

[Peter C]

Did you buy it without MoT? Brave man!

 

Any pics of the interior and dashboard?

Very clean inside for a van, let alone an old one!

Nice. These tend to fall into two camps - hideously twee Devon campers or Scene Tax slam-mobiles. Great to see one that's neither!

Im going to keep mine pretty much the way it is externally,will get the primer'd bits resprayed but thats only to keep the rust at bay,other than that its staying stock,none of that lowering and matt black paint for me thankyou very much

[Gompo]

That looks in rather good condition for the money, nice work.

[Pillock]

Subaru lumps fit quite nicely in those...... turbo'd if you want

[garethj]

That looks in really good nick for an old VW van, well bought

Where I used to work we had two diesel pickups, I remember one arriving in 86 to replace a bay-window version. This model was actually quite good to drive, more than I can say for the bay! Skimpy interior though, as you've found. Good luck with it, I have an inexplicable soft spot for this shape VW.

Just throw an airbed in the back for that "80's pub band on tour" look
