Sorry about the parrot sound in the background. It's actually the packing team with a tape gun sending out your parcels :)
After having watched the video back, we didn't really cover a lot of the actual engine swap. This engine is the 2.5 TDI that came out the silver LHD pre production VW Transporter T5. The blue shell we bought, had already had the engine removed. The engine going in has cover 2600 kilometres, so only 1600 miles! Its sat for over 20 years on the silver Caravelle, mostly at the back of an aircraft hanger, until we bought it.
It's amazing to see this build coming to together. I can't wait to show you the next stage, thats when it starts to get pretty.
Any guesses what the colour will be?
The next video will show this Dream build Transporter at Loughborough Paintworx, with Steve and his team working their magic. It's going to look, and drive mega!!
Details on the underslung A/C unit will be featured in the next video. It's such a cool bit of kit (no pun intended) Its going to be a game changer for keeping your campers chilled in the summer heat.
I hope you've enjoyed this video, please do hit that like button, it means a lot.
As always, thanks for watching

I was thinking that it was strange to be doing such a massive build on a late model car, then realised it's probably 20 years old! Last time I worked on VW Transporters it was on brand new T4s.
@THQAutomotive
@THQAutomotive Месяц назад
Yes the silver donor with a per production Transporter so at least 21 years old. The blue shell in a 2008. Crazy to think many parts are the same as the current Transporter model.

I nearly bought a T6.1 in that colour to build the coolest looking German style taxi build. VW messed up my order though. I still have the taxi sign from German I was going to use with Taxi removed and THQ on. Maybe we'll do that some day. The colour of this is a secret, until the next episode 🤫

@@THQAutomotive To be fair, you're probably doing them a favour clearing out stock that no one buys! Like random grommets and screws, or anything OEM because everyone buys aftermarket stuff... 😅 Really looking forward to this build. It's the ground up, rebuild dream for many in the whole car and bike scene! If you'd told me 20 years ago; one day I'd be watching someone nut 'n' bolt, or technically resto mod a T5, I'd have laughed in their face! But here we are... They promised us flying cars, and we're rebuilding builders vans. ❤

Great progress and hats off to you for the T5 love! How you going for the instrument cluster, and steering wheel choices? I love my T5, a lot, she's on 286k now, 2.5BNZ. Bought at 160k in 2012. Though the standard steering wheel is now officially mank so I'm fitting one off a Passat B7. In research for this I've discovered that the early instrument cluster (and therefore early canbus) is super basic, so you probably won't that that LHD one off the silver preproduction Caravelle. The 08 instrument cluster will probably have a better trip computer in it and more functionality from VCDS, enabling cruise control and possibly MFSW steering wheel choices, plus possibly temperature and trip etc. Saying that, the 08 panel van instrument cluster may be more basic than preproduction Caravelle, but somehow doubt it. You probably already know that, but incase not, just sharing the love! Check out VCDS before choosing!

@@garethcartledge4997Hi vis because I'm in a warehouse and we have health and safety rules. Same reason I'm wearing protective boots. The background noise I have apologised for in the text below the video. We didn't know until editing and decided not to re-shoot. Read some of the comments below, others like that it's natural and the sound of our warehouse. I don't understand your point on being relatable and my lads building my builds? It's my business, it's my channel, it's my van, they are my products we sell this channel is here to showcase. None of it is possible without these boys. They are the reason we are who we are and the biggest in the Transporter world. You ask any of them and they'll tell you they love this job. That means more to me than these videos or your opinion. If you don't like what you see, don't watch. Your views and comments won't change the lads having the passion for this build and all the videos we do.
