Hi ALL!
I placed my order doe a brand new VW Transporter T32 T6.1 4Motion SWB 6 speed manual 150PS from SMG Tonbridge in November last year. I hope to be collecting it in next week. I have been told that it is the last T32 Manual 4Motion as VW will no longer make these as a manual. I ordered the Transporter with 2 X captain chairs (swivel), diesel heater, leisure battery under passenger seat panel van. I want this to be my daily driver as I am looking to retire in the next few years and I will then convert it into a camper. I am moving from an Audi S3 to this, so it is going top be a massive change, hopefully for the better.
I joined this group hoping to get advice and assistance from members experiences so that I will be better informed on what I can do with my van avoiding heartaches that members may have experienced in their journey with their pride and joy.
I have already ordered Blackvue front and rear dash cams as it reduces my insurance premiums. Added to this i have also ordered Climber wind deflectors, dash strip with rubber door seals from Transporter HQ.
I am also looking to have windows added from Camper Glass for the sliding door and opposite side. I am in 2 minds regarding which product to use for my sound deadening. It is between Dynamat and Dodo Mat. I will be soundproofing and insulating the whole van, meaning I will be covering as much of the metal work as possible. Once I decide on the product I am going to try to soundproof the rear of the van myself but get the cab area done professionally. This will be done over time as not cheap!
I am looking to have roof rails but am not sure whether to go for genuine or from another source, such as Vanstyle. I would like to have them as profile as possible and without any additional fittings.
I will of course post photos of the once I have it and I will post photos of the van as I have products fitted.
Thank you for reading this and i hope to get ideas I can implement into my van.
ATVB!
