build thread.

So the time has come to convert my LWB 2015 T6 into a camper. I have owned it for the last 5 years, it's had a very easy life and has only racked up 31k on the clock. I have been reading build logs and a large number of posts to learn, get up to speed, and make myself aware of the many many...

Hi all, Thought Id start a thread for our T6 that we are converting. Hopefully something shown could help someone and contribute back to the community. Got this last year second hand 2019 T6 LWB with tailgate. So far Id installed a westfalia swan neck towbar & planar external diesel heater...

After reading loads of amazingly informative threads on this forum, I thought I'd start my own thread. (Largely inspired by @Dellmassive 's really blooming useful and informative "How I done It!" thread.) Basically, I haven't "done it" and simply intend on "doing it"! I thought it would be...

So after being inspired by Stockwell Campers posts about their van conversion I thought I’d post my journey of converting my panel van. Although possibly at the risk of being punted off the forum as mine is a T5 and not a T6! However hopefully vw camaraderie will ensue and I’ll not get any abuse...

Decided to keep a build thread for the new van. Iridium grey T30 swb 150tsi baseline panel van with business pack (reverse sensors and air con). So far I have removed the bulkhead and the ply lining kit and all interior panels except the roof lining (which will have to be replaced as it is...

After having sold my Starlight Blue T6, I have started on the journey again. Maybe in a different direction this time. This was delivered to me: So as I cant drive it yet, which is killing me, I decided to start on some jobs. First was sound deadening using the Dodo Mat, which I found...

Hi All, New to the Forum and have just turned VIP for the extra detail & guides. :thumbsup: I've been looking around for ideas and have now completed all my purchases, so it's time to get installing. Silver 2016 T28 Highline 5 Speed purchased, currently sits like this; List of purchased...

So I've just upgraded from a T5 to a T6. Our old van looked like this: We did everything ourselves and fully kitted it out as a camper.

I purchased a 2018 LWB SE shuttle a couple of months ago and began modifying it straight away. We have always dreamed of having a van so basically sold my motorbikes and purchased this shuttle from Scotland. Drove my car up there traded it in and drove this home. 4 hours after collecting it I...

Hi All, So its time for our build thread! We have had our van Cherry (T6 LWB, cherry red!), aka Shushan (an odd joke based on a Jonny English film if memory serves) for a couple of years. Kitted out with a very basic home built bed, with the rear as a bike garage / mucky area. But the time...

Hello everyone. Just collected my T6.1 in Ascot grey from the dealer this evening. I just wanted to start a thread to document my slow, and it will be slow, conversion from van to day van. My wife and I, and our 4 yr old little girl, are all very excited to start this journey and go on...

Good evening, been lurking for a while but just got my T6 this week. 2019 204ps 4MOTION DSG. Dead chuffed at it can't wait to get converting. Jason

Well today my new Crafter arrived after a 6 month wait for a factory order. :) Really pleased, feels like a big T6 to drive. Nice when going from T6 camper to this and back again as everything is in similar positions. This one is for work as I’m an Electrician but would make a great...

:cool: I can't be certain but my T6 must be one of the last TSI PV deliveries in the UK - it was registered on 18th March 2019. So I thought it would make a catchy build thread title, and I'll keep it until proven otherwise! So, I'm starting with an untidy ex-Avis/Budget rental van...

I'm looking into the pros and cons of a TSI engine vs a TDI engine for a new T6 Kombi as above. The TSI version is £30,125 vs £31,361 for the TDI equivalent base model (Startline) I'm really not sure which way to go. The TSI is listed at 31 MPG where the TDI is listed at 46 MPG. This is a...

Hi guys I'm new here I have just bought a t6 shuttle my plan is to turn it into a camper first I want to up my spec as my van is a SE I would like some advice on buying and fitting a reverse camera and sensors and multifunction steering please ?

So picked up my 1st transporter a couple of weeks ago. Looking forward to some tasteful mods. Has 102k miles on it in less than 3yrs. Guess timing belt is first on the list. Interior is as new as the chap used seat and steering wheel covers from new! Still chuffed as its well spec'd 204 BiTurbo...

Hi all, I have bought my 1st Transporter this week & am intending to convert it to a part camper It's a 2017 T6 Highline 150 T32 I spent quite a while trying to find one in the right spec as a good base for conversion and eventually found one with the engine & gearbox that I wanted, tailgate...

Collected the new van yesterday. 2019 Startline with aircon. Not much to see yet, but I made a start today stripping out and cleaning up. Thought I'd keep a record on here.

Hi all This thread is hopefully going to be a record of my windsurfing van build - will try and update as things happen but it’s going to be a long slog! I spent a LOT of time on this forum before committing, so a big thank you to all who put time into this site - it’s a very valuable resource...
