Love it, as always. Also love that Fergus has an older sister. Since she’s air cooled and you have a cut price air con system, I was thinking Windy. But Shaun said she should have a Spanish name, so how about Venta? Is it close enough to Veronica? Xx
Love the new van... Good luck with the project ahead... But 2 tone is your best option... Just looks more classic.... And Veronica seems to be the name already lol
Hi Guyz, welcome to the t2 club, good lookin bus you got there, sliding door for right hand drive are hens teeth, so you need to be extra vigilant to source one, as it happens I saw one on eircooled site this evening but that's just a rarity, all the other stuff is not too hard to source, cab doors would be your next struggle, good ones I mean, Emerald sounds good or Emer and you get to keep the key ring, Best of luck going forward.☮
IMHO, for long distance drives, i would take Fergus. for putt-putting around within 100mi, "Veronica" should be right. specially with a 1600 engine. if you put in a subaru engine or similar then you can go long distance. but more like a weekender. also, Fergus is a modern body compared to a T2 with better impact absorbing bodies. i vote for Sage Green Color and add a camper top. Good Luck and Enjoy! i would name her Elinor. like King Fergus and Queen Elinor in Brave movie :)
Ohh 100% Fergus will always be pur main van. The opportunity just came up and we had to buy it. It will be a lot of work to get back together but it will.be fun when it's done 😊😊
Funny video and I knew what was going on! You two are hilarious. How about calling it Saoirse, a good Irish girls name meaning “Freedom”? Although Veronica has a ring to it… and it’s a Latin name, meaning “Victorious”. Or Viridiana, a Spanish name meaning “green”. As for the colour, either stick to the two tone theme with either the original green, or Fergus’ blue to show a family connection? You certainly have your work cut out - not tempted to drop a Subaru engine in her?
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Veronica just came to my head for some reason haha Saoirse is also nice nobody from outside Ireland or UK could pronounce it haha Yellow and white or orange and white is what we like so far but that could change haha Seemingly subary swaps aren't that hard in these buses 🤔🤔
The vans screams Veronica 🤣🤣 Orange and cream or canary yellow and white perhaps!! It's for when we have anoigh of eachother we can have a van each 🤣🤣🤣 or when one breaks down take the other 🤣🤣
Awwwwwww ye could follow each other! If you go for the yellow/white you could call it vanilla …. Vaneile for Shane! Best of luck either way I’d love to have your skills!
My dad was called William Patrick, some called him Willy, others called him Paddy. Those T2s look good with the rusty patina style. Great vlog love your enthusiasm.
Fairplay you guys have a lot of work ahead of you now building a second van from scratch literally starting with nothing no doubt you guys will make a good job of it and we look forward to seeing the progress💯
Hi guys I’m a new subscriber really looking forward to the van build, I like red and black or red and cream 2 tone my vans called Jean Claud or to give it it full name Jean Claud Dam Van 😂
A tad Crusty at the moment, but I'm sure it will be beautiful after a lot of elbow grease! I had one back in the 90's used to carry a large bottle of petrol behind the drivers seat as the petrol gauge was broke!!!! Oh the good life😂😂😂 it screams CRUSTY😅 good luck with it guys👍👍👍
Your mystery van looks just like the Mystery Machine on Scooby Doo... You should paint it like that, soooooo cool! Good luck with it guys, looking forward to seeing how it turns out.
Hahaha the opportunity came and we had to buy it 🤣🤣 are we mad? Yes 🤣🤣🤣 Kermits cousin lol it will keep us busy for a long time. We won't be rushing it. We will be to busy with Fergus lol 🤣🤣
When you freshen up the 1600 you may want to increase the displacement. As a owner of a T3 with a 1600 Fergus would probably beat me up a hill. LOL. As for a name I got a few, Anabel Betty, Elanor, Gertie, and Maybell. For colour how about Key Lime?
Yeah I was thinking of getting it rebuilt overtime to be more reliable and a bit more poke! Hahah Fergie and Gertie 🤣🤣 The original colour is Tiagra green so not a million miles off
I love T2 Kombis, all Volkswagens really but I dunno about a T2 with an aircooled engine being more reliable than a T3 unless Fergus is aircooled engine too and/or the motor is buggered. I wanted a T2 or T3 camper, ended up getting a T6 to use as my daily too. Good luck with the build.
A man once said to me that the air cooled engines are brilliant but if you get a bad one then it's torture haha I plan on getting this motor rebuilt. We would love a T6 but they're so expensive. Thanks for watching 😊😊
I ask myself that question everytime I look at it 🤣🤣🤣 A steering box was in the back of it I'll have to figure out our to put it in. I love the air cooled engines. Body work is good. Just a small bit kf welding to be done. We are in no rush to finish it haha Fergus won't ever be leaving us haha
@@ShaneandAneVanLife The late bay windows look lovely with the factory high top, I love the green that is is now. I'll send you a few pics on Instagram
@@ShaneandAneVanLife Actually, I was being kind... My first thought for a good name was "The reason we bought a house!" LOL I like the idea of two tone paint. I would be sure to paint the top half a white or light color to keep the van cooler in the warm months. I Love your videos and congrats on the new van! I can't wait to see what you two do with it.
Still dont know if this is an april fools video... On the one hand i belive you can buy such a thing but on the other... No way It cant be true hahahah
Guys’ you’ve bought a shell. So as for a name…. Shelly, or Michelle…. A German lady called Michelle Bosch. Good luck guys your very brave. X Definitely not Veronica (Ronnie) xx
If I did that then all my videos would be about me fixing the engine in the new van 🤣🤣 This van won't be finished for a good while haha I drove a T3 with a subaru swap last week and WOW 👌
Really feeling sorry for ye over the last while with Fergus being so unreliable.....but not sure a T2 is the way forward. Name suggestions Hulk or She Hulk like the green.
Thank you! Don't worry Fergus will always be our main van! I've always wanted a T2 and the opportunity presented itself so we had to buy it. This will be a loooooong van conversion over the next couple of years 🤣🤣
