I've been lurking here for years and for the most part have found any answers I needed by searching the forum, but I haven't been able to find anything on this. I've had my T4 for a decade or so, converted it myself to a camper and had the best times in it. Now I have a daughter I wanted to...

Today I had an unexpected visit from a local chappy. I saw him outside eyeing up my T3 Syncro camper as he got out of his white T4 panel van. A little curious I waited but then the knock on the door led me to venture outside. He introduced himself and asked if I knew anyhing about T4 Syncro...

Does anyone know of a brand or type of DIY spray paint that thickly undercoats / primes lower sills and it remains slightly plastic. I'm removing some rust patches on my sills and i'm removing some heavy slightly flexible stuff so I assume i should replace it to give sills a bit more wear...

As it says. My car is booked in to be Waxoyled next weekend as it has a little bit of surface corrosion starting underneath in the subframe, then I was going to do the same for the van. But I wondered how effective Waxoyl is? :confused:

I've been seeing good things from the aircooled sites about vehicles painted with rustoleum paint WITH A ROLLER! It looks like you can paint a whole van for well under a hundred quid.:confused: I have to say i'm tempted. i believe the VW action 2008 best beetle prize went to one painted in this...

Anyone used this rust preventative paint before and how good is it?

My mirror before: I bought a new convexed mirror glass and fitted it like so..... Stuck my fingures in the top and popped the old one out. Popped the new one in. Push in the centre so that the miror isnt being bent (may break), it takes a bit of force. Can Moderators put this somewhere...

I bought a new slidding roller set off ebay. Took me a while to see how the rollers go in without forcing!!!! you unscrew the metal thingy from the right of the step. and the you will have a hole to slot the new wheels into then screw the metal thingy back into place!!
