Club 80-90 Forums

Here you go as promised, more story's from Rhubarbs resto and associated vw stuff , have a decko and let me know what you think it's all a bit tongue in cheek and some of of it is regurgitated stuff from the Rhubarbs resto that is posted up on on here and thelatebay, it is not a blog in the typically bloggy boring " Susan was 12 today blah blah blah" nope it is about my cack handed resto - enjoy.

YEPi hate all your vans too

Nahh in all honesty i have had some superb laugh's on here and i have secretly owned a Aircooled t25 that is why i am here, i just thought you might like to smile at my woe's, even though you are used to more modern stuff, like brakes!

Agreed. If we wanted one we would have bought one. So why bother us with it. I don't like to be picky but this is for T25/3's. Posting it here is I feel a mistake.
T1 was a prototype. T2's were practice for the real thing

It is in there honest, i have built the blog around it but looking back at rust just makes me cringe now so i just do the odd write up with pictures titled back to the resto etc

i have done some posts with pictures in but you need a link to my photobucket for ALL the nitty gritty work and at the mo i am keeping them back for later posts, hope you can understand that, there is a lot in Rhubarbs resto on tlb if you really are desperate for a welding and cutting fix, i can understand that btw used to be hooked myself

Anyhow here are a few links to the rusty posts, enjoy

You come across as quite blunt in the way you write a reply to my posts i don't mean to offend you but maybe that is why ?

He's not blunt for a Yorkshireman!

I like all types of VW van.
They all have the ability to cost the owner lots more than something un trendy like a Renault based camper.
And, they all camp less well too.

T2......... rust like mad and break down
T3........ rust quite well and break down also given half the chance
T4....... Guzzle fuel and are "too modern" for the purist
T5......Have been known to have dodgy clutches.

Why love any one of them more than the others
