Vw T2 replacement engine and gearbox. 

Can the amateur mechanic replace the engine and gearbox in his 1979 VW T2 Campervan? How much will it cost?
Another video from Steve the amateur mechanic, undertaking restorations, maintenance on the VW camper van, his MGTF daily driver and Ferrari 360 Spyder, follow his trails, tribulations and exploits.
Hopefully it will be informative and entertaining and give hope to other classic car enthusiasts, as if Steve can do it anybody can!
We bought a Hippie van with Westfalia interior fittings, this was my first classic bus experience.
I bought my dream car, well van really, as we wanted to experience vanlife before we got too old. Apple as we call her is not a VW T2 Brazilian camper conversion so I am introducing my T2 Bay.
Are we breaking the law by camping in our VW transporter camper van, only time will tell.
Follow this VW bus restoration with the amateur ( A MATE U R ) mechanic, this is not the perfect donor vehicle as it is in far to good condition, not your average VW T1 it is a T2. We test-drive the 1979 Volkswagen T2 camper to ensure the engine is tuned perfectly and the gearbox works correctly.
We will do an in-depth review in the not to distant future and take you on our road trips, hopefully around Ireland this year! We will then give you a full tour of our camper van, which is a modern take on the classic VW kombi. In the first summer of owning a VW camper van we did a 2000 mile road trip to the South of France. Was it reliable with the old engine in it? Yes it never let us down.
