hi all, I thought I would introduce myself. I live in Cambridgeshire an avid Motorcycle fan. I have also bought a 1978 t2 transporter which I am expecting to go away for a weekend or two.
Thanks all for the welcome. I bought the van from my brother who did most of the interior and exterior work on it. He bought it from rawspeed in Plymouth and drove it back to his workshop in East Devon. The van has been resprayed in Oxford blue (well just the bottom half it was originally white). The seats have been retrimmed in blue and white stripped vinyl. New headliner fitted and a rock roll bed has been installed. The first drive in it was a 250 miler a few weeks ago from Tiverton to Chatteris. There are a few issues that needs to sorted. Smell of fumes when the heater is on. I am guessing the exhaust is leaking. Fuel gauge only works from full to about half. Ride height is bit to high, 6cm drop spindles have been ordered. Tiny bit of rust on the roof near the rain gutter. However it is clean underneath probably because it has spent most of it’s time in Greece (it was imported into the UK in 2016). Cheers
