My £600 Vw Camper T25 is ready to hit the road! 

Great work! There should have been a 'Zig' battery charger in that cavity above the draining board, which could indeed charge the leisure battery when on hook-up. There was a (very unreliable) water tank level indicator there too. In the roof was a pull-out board and matress section to make the 'upstairs' bed. Happy memories!

Well done saving a great van. If you want to create a dry area you can get a waterproof shade sail very cheap and tie it up to trees, a pole or the garage.

The engine sounds so sweet. Cleaned up lovely and fantastic result with the roof 👍🏻👍🏻. My camper when plugged into the mains chargers leisure battery. When engine is running through the split charger both will charge mate 👍🏻

Lovely T3, excellent job!

Very nice camper van. I hope your new home has got loads of space for all your projects. Maybe do a walk around showing your future plans once your settled?

Well done. Speedshop do the best SS exhaust. Front wipers 20” & 21”, rear 18”. Line up the spindles, then they lay horizontal. Nice & easy to work on these vans. It’ll rev high on choke so don’t worry about that, but it’ll fail emissions on choke so make sure it’s warmed first. If it still idles high, small screw on Pierburg 2E3. All about rust on these, especially rear trailing arms and footwells. Yours looks good for an ‘89. Enjoy! 🚌 2.1 L is an easy upgrade. Only need the bottom end, all the ancillaries will swap over. Loads of useful information on Club 80-90 and James Akers channel on You Tube. It was a panel van from factory, so the windows, roof cut and interior were added later. Batteries are 170mm in height.

I think you have done a great job, in fact I know you have to put the time in like you have is good also to take a chance I now how hard it is I did one myself they are not new vehicles but very rewarding to work on I wish I still had mine so if you decide to sell you never know ,keep up the good work DB

Very nice ,,, I’ve got 1995 transit LWB high top camper van love it ,, enjoy

Great camper to keep for yourself , having said that they have a cult following and I'm sure that you could sell it for a very good profit next spring , good job

Good stuff! I used to have a diesel T25, flat out it would do about 39mph flat out, the kids were little and we had many happy holidays all over the country, we circumnavigated the coast of Ireland too, cant help feeling a twinge of nostalgia watching this. Now we've got a T5 I converted and just had 3 months on the road to France - Italy -Elba - Corsica - Sicily, looking forward to the MOT.

Omg that is literally my dream van very lucky with that

Great job matey! Cleaned up amazing, would look better is the front were all white because that black stripe looks silly, probably rusty so changed it to black. Top channel to find.

Superb job well done

Looking great

Looks amazing, you have had a great result from copart, you will do well when you sell it, i really like T25s

Vans looking really good mate , how about full service and a good wash down in that engine bay too🤔 Far too nice to let go you’ll never regret keeping it 😉👍

Nice tidy caravanette 👍

Good work there! 👏

I can’t see any reason for that to fail on the MOT - turned out to be a super clean van. Hope you get to keep it and use it. Cheap and fun weekends and vacations in one of those. If you don’t like those black accents and you think they were added, maybe try a rag with some thinners on it. The area around the windscreen looks mostly gone, anyway. If someone did it with a spray can it won’t take much getting off. I’ve removed loads of bodged scratch repairs like that. Also another tip with the DIY wiper changes - put something under the arm when you lift it up so that if you accidentally drop the arm the end of it doesn’t whack the glass and crack it. 👍🏻

Camper looks good scrubbed up well😊

Crikey what a turnaround. Youve got yourself a good one there... Wish my T25 was in half as good condition. You should be proud of that work buddy 👍

Good luck with the MOT 👍🏻

Nice update , she’s a sweet van , best of luck with the mot 👍

Sunday uploads to watch before the f1. Awesome.

What a great resurrection of a very useful vehicle, well done for taking a risk buying it as it’s really paid off. Looking forward to the next instalment!

Looks really good I think you have got yourself a good one.

Well done 👍

Fantastic wee van, and great work buddy keep her lit

Cracking van 😊 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😁✌️ Your doing the right thing with van hope mot went good 😊

Great stuff thanks. The hookups only normally charge up the leisure battery through a built in charger. Good van.

Lovely camper van ❤❤😊😊

Good practice to throw in brand new bulbs all around. They do dim with age. The filaments develop build up from age. I had a 86 535i e28 and all the lights were dim as hell. Replaced all the bulbs and like new. All the filaments had what looked like rust

Seeing you clean the van up took me back to when I bought mine home and I gave it a good clean up inside and out. Good luck with the mot and well done it’s looking good

Great stuff 👍

Got yourself a bargain there😊

Great job well done 🎉

Wow wot a transformation and the bargain buy of the year

Definitely a keeper

Great work, well done.

Doubled the value by washing it!

Love it!!!

Ok. Im new. Im intrigued. Lets see how things go.

One heck of a good buy, wonder what the story was about why the owner let it go to co-part

Great videos. You need to flip the video as it’s in mirror mode. It’s messing with my left and right brain 🧠 🤣👍

Van looks good for its age….. hopefully it passes the MOT

I thought you said at the end, 'if anyone would like to buy a house to support the channel'. I would like the amount of space you have there & am looking to move. I'd buy your house

Looks great after continued fettling and a good wash and some housework! Not sure the 'VDub' stickers are an MOT fail but perhaps remove them just in case 😁

Wow what a transformation! Best of luck for the MOT. Do you normally buy cars blind from Copart or do you go and see them first?

wish i could find a camper for that money....

Why would you put a shiny exhaust like that on that rusty old thing 😂

Get rid of vdub decals they look naff

Any update on the t5 as well?

Think you need a new speedo cable 🙄

Nice work getting the van together. A little tip, maybe turn the exhaust clamps 90 degrees so they don't foul on speed bumps and rip the nuts off.

Please remove that 'VDUB' sticker. It looks low rent.

The welding alone makes this non financially viable, probably why it was for sale.

1st here!! Been waiting for this.

Let me know if you need some storage!

Nice ..chek out slaughterhouse customs shc for vw bus parts..they keep me on the road..hope helps..safe trips.

Wot a difference a good wash 🧽 makes it looks like its gone from £600 to £6,000 in one clean
