haha wow loads of information, still quite alot of grey areas there for me so photos would be great when you have got a minute, no rush really though. Hello! I have a manual how to built in the Reimo roof. 20 pages, in German but i think you will understand, many pics do you have the guide on your p...

hellodepends what 4 spd one it is? if it is a diesel yes it will fit straight on but it will have shocking gearing for a petrol engine so what you need is a petrol 4spd i am going to use an abd code for my AGG converson but the DK box's are apparently strongest. but you have to change the petrol inp...

yeah that is exactly the same as mine. thank you. right basically all i have got is the roof the luggage bit, a canvas and all the hinges and struts ect. what i am unsure on is how is attaches to the roof. and how the bed fits up there eg what mecanisum where the bed board comes up to as regards to ...

As the Reimo is similar to Westy one i think the principle should be the same. If your leaving the back part of the van roof on then you will need a support for the bed board, this will then hinge out towards the front, but you will need something to support it as Westies have a lip. Sorry haven't ...

hi i have just managed to get my hands on a reimo poptop (front elevation) for my t3 project it is a pretty sound top all the bits there to fit it on, it needs a new canvas and it dose not have a bed/ bed frame with it so first question where is the best place for a canvas and how much should i be l...

mmmm i see lots to think about there then because all i can get from others going from petrol to gti is that they just use the petrol gearbox mount set up it was just the linkage i wasnt it of sure of but that has given me a bit of food for thought , i think i better look into it futher and ask a fe...

yeah i got that it is currently a 1.9 petrol water cooled ABD code gearbox 1985 van. i wanted to put a DK in as i have one sat in my garage but if it means changing all the drive shafts ect i dont think i will bother. but i am going to be doing an agg conversion which uses the diesel engine bars so ...

right understood i think i will stick with my ABD then as i have all the driveshafts, mounts linkage ect and get rid of the DK i think that would be less hastle. yeah i have the bellhousing just need to get the input shaft and bolts. so the other thing i would need to get is the diesel rear linkage ...

hi jus wondering what parts are needed to go from ABD gearbox to DK it will be being mated to a AGG engine which is obviously using diesel engine bars ect so will i ned diesel gear box mount back linkage and gear stick or DK gear stick, rear linkage and mount or none of the above any help would be g...

after having a fairly productive day today cuting out the N/S tall rear arch and rebuilding the wheel arch because it was well and truly rotted I decided to have a wander round the rest of the van to see what else I have to cut out, replace and fabricate ect coming to the back of it I removed the bo...

ah that is great thank you, clear that up nicely i am after doing an agg conversion idealy for clearance issues and for a slightly newer engine. i am not overly conserend about wiring because i have got a mate to sort that out for me who is abosolutly awesome with wiring but i thought i would ask ab...

ah good well that is another thing cleared up, going to try to buy the whole car rather than buying an engine, loom, ecu ect sepperatly should work out cheeper if i can find a fairly low millage one plus the looms on ebay dont look big enough to be complete tbh

right okay so what i need is to have a desil box to bits have the input shaft out and then have my petrol box to bits and put it in that ? and ah i see that makes more sense now. dose the bell housing not get compleatly covered by the block then ? see there has been no mention of this on any other c...
