Hi all. Having registered on the site many years ago ( when I bought a cheap velle) I have just put down a deposit on a t4 so though I'd say hi.

My new van is a T reg 800 special which has had windows fitted all round by vw before the original (and current owner) picked her up in 1999. A bit rough round the edges and with 200k on the clock but she's mine. Picking her up at the weekend. Happy daysT:

Off to scout the readers ride section for ideas / inspiration. :db

Welcome from a fellow 800 special owner. Be careful looking round, it gets expensive

Thanks bud. I know what you mean, I now have a shopping list.

Well, the van has been collected and is now snug in my garage. Drove home at 40mph due to no fifth gear, and good god, it's slow! Got all service history with it including original bill of sale. Had to remove roof bars and mirrors before I could squeeze it into the garage.
Anyhow, thought I'd add a few pics before the fun starts.

Not much room to work,

It was a bit of a squeeze as the tailgate doesn't open much either. LOL:
