what was wrong with the old one?

Post by **VW T25 Feuerwehr** » 05 Jun 2013, 19:25

It was dirty

Put a refurb engine in over the winter......

So bottom half looks gleaming so now trying to bring the top half up to the same standard.
I Use the van daily so bought an old inlet manifold - refurbed it and now replaced my one.

I will then refurb my old one in the pic and maybe someone on here might find a home for it!

Bloody hell that's spotless. I wouldn't want to get it dirty on the roads

Quite right - I wish they would clean the roads more often!

How did you refurb it? Blast it? Paint it?

Post by **VW T25 Feuerwehr** » 06 Jun 2013, 15:11

Scrubbed
Soda blasted
Painted

Sounds easy

Looks the nuts Feuerwehr! Where did you get your exhaust from - looks like a work of art?!

Post by **VW T25 Feuerwehr** » 06 Jun 2013, 15:31

Exhaust is from Just Kampers - really happy with it

Not sure think our next one will be Dubbing Dorset @ the end of the month.

Got some other goodies planned and awaiting manufacture before then though
