You have a very original solid van there buddy!
Nice to see a T25 with the original paint still on the panels you have been working on.

Paint looks great

The bodyshop is correct, the panels on these vans are a bugger to get perfectly straight. If the shop you take it to is doing the proper job i.e full body resto and you are payin good £££ then they should get all the panels perfect and straight. But if your payin for a flash over, if they are simply...

Great colour choice by the way, i planned on doing same colours but the place i was working(as a painter at time)got sold half way through my van resto so had to rush it a little and use solid colour instead :cry: The van before http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee82/mellowyellow666/CIMG1272.jpg Va...

That interior looks spot on mate, love the way you can take it apart so quickly.
Very well done

Oh the joys of owning a vw eh :rofl We just back after a trip to the Lake District this weekend and it sounds like we got a prob too with the diff! I've been using the van to tow my track bikes to race meetings and i think i may have killed the diff pulling all this weight. NOT a happy bunny-as we g...

Hey up shortbloke how are you getting on with the install? I am thinking of doing something similar to house a double din head unit with built in sat nav. I was going to buy a speedo surround and work from there, but with a double din radio/satnav i will need to cut the dash a little-so i am waiting...

What you need is 3m fine line masking tape. This comes in a couple of widths, 3mm 6, and i think 9mm. Heres some on ebay pretty cheap. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/3M-06521-Fine-Line-Tape-6mm_W0QQitemZ160318082866QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Body_Shop_Supplies_Paint?hash=item160318082866&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&...

JUST managed to finish the van off the DAY we went Glasto (had to fit thermocouple to fridge :trunk :trunk ) So glad to start using her. I do have a few issues to sort though, front wheels catching front arches a little on full lock on rough ground, roof lining already starting to sag ( should have ...

Rite, the vans gone to my mechanic today, he's doing the final touches to the van-- Stud conversion front and rear Sorting wheel bearings out Changing rear springs for sorter ones Final four wheel alignment (would like to do this myself but haven't got time left) Then we are ready to rock n roll to ...

Think this is the rite size?

Thanks CaptainStilhllsaw, you will see the van in the flesh at Harewood. I'm taking the Mrs for her birthday treat, isn't she lucky

Hi Splendiferous.

I've just replaced all the felts in both my sliders. Got them from Woolies Trim, i've posted you a link.

You will need the 12mm single track rubbers. Part number 317, its £2.70 par meter.

Hope this helps?

I know its not paint related, but i've started rebuilding my interior.
