Welcome! Plenty of build threads on here, then do Google site-specific searches. If in doubt, just ask!hey all,

cheers Wayne
Think you mean it's a Euro 5 not T 5 it's a T6 but not Euro 6 isn't it oh now I've got confusedHi, 2 weeks on, since the first time of writing. Definitely a T5 but registered 17th June 2016.
Side steps are on, nothing like the 30 minutes in a youtube installer said. Having said that, did clean well, and wax oiled, everywhere I could get to to. Took about 2 hours to do each side. A battery wrench would have been a god send. Fitting the front bonnet shield not so easy, widened the holes to give a little more tolerance, now stand quite high, so have to get longer bolts. The undershield arrived, 3 goes at fitting and was way, way to big. So that's going back as the picker must have had off day. Eventually got the seats loose, and removed the middle row at 25KG a seat. But boy, those German fitters must be big lads as the rear 3 seater is a whopping 80KG ( so the bathroom scales say).
Checking out some roof rails, single passenger seat ( yeah I know good luck with that, LOL ). Also believe it has a a diesel heater fitted but not working, or maybe a fuse, if I'm really lucky. Interesting threads on the quality of wood and thickness for flooring and walls. Set myself a deadline / target of June 1st.
Yo welcome dude, Gratz on the van, look forward to some picsHere's a "Hello" from another newbie. Definitely not new to VW's (VAG's), but have never had a van before. I'm hopefully picking up a 2019 T6 Highline (150bhp with 7 speed DSG) this Friday. It has already been converted (4 seater, with poptop and Rib Altair bed etc.). Really looking forward to the experience. Have spent a while looking through the forum - looks to be a great set up, also looking forward to spending some time on here!
You will find its not just a van its a way of life and your journey starts soonThanks - if all goes well, I'll post up some pics at the weekend. Something I never thought I'd say, but really excited about having a van!!
This was how excited I was..... Welcome ....Hi all, just joined in anticipation of picking my T6 transporter up tomorrow Thought it would be a while before I would have enough money again to fit a bed but just read through the £99 Ikea bed thread and camping might begin earlier than expected. Excited
