Nothing to much, got a badgeless grill, spoiler, LEDs and will be putting some stripes /pinstripes on it (silver ones here are taxis -this was one before I bought it.) Just got it for a bit fun, something to take down to the beach and carry big things. Will take the third row of seats out, and have a swivel plate to fit on the passenger seat, subwoofer, speakers etc. If we want to go overnight, we will take the Unimog, but this will be great for day trips, and the most economical car we own.Yes, seriously impressive. Can't wait to see what you do with your Transporter, though I suspect you don't need to do anything too wild with it given your alternative transport options.
Now you're talking our language - these are the sorts of things most of us get up to on here (with a few going that bit further).
I was in a pursuit with a Unimog many years ago. It was stolen from a farm in Peterborough and then driven all the way to the rural Berkshire/Wiltshire border. It was obviously NOT high speed but luckily they could not engage reverse gear to ram me. I later found out selecting reverse is not as simple as normal gear boxes. After busting through hedgerows to escape they decamped and a little while later a farmer reported 4 youths were on his quad bike and were stealing it. Then the buggers stole a Discovery and that was the last we heard. At least we got the Unimog back.
Yes, on a Unimog, you need to put the whole transmission into reverse the use the normal gears. Mine is even more complicated, as I have pneumatic reverse and high/low range as I fitted a new transmission from the latest Unimog a couple of years ago, I leave it parked in low range, so unless you know how to work it,the top speed would 30kph.
Welcome. I presume you like making life difficult for yourself?
Time to start posting in the other areas of the forum then. Good luck with your project.
Hi all. I own a T6.1 and previously owned a T5 for a decade or so. Both vans converted into campers.
From a bit of a look round, I am seriously impressed by the breadth or experience and depth of knowledge on this site. Great to see.
Have a good Easter everyone, whatever you are up to.

Just saying hello.
I'm normally on T5 and New Crafter forums but having a T5.1 is just like having an old T6, isn't it?

Hi. New member - located south wales.
I’ve used forums for various cars over the years but looking for somewhere more knowledgeable and focused for technical info etc.
I’m a massive weekend warrior when it comes to detailing so the van is very often very clean some pics attached (testing to see if they upload successfully)

Beautiful looking van @coxyboy123 , great colour, good to have you here!
Nothing wrong with that, I'm the same and I'd bet that every really good detailer started the same. Your van looks great anyway!
