Club 80-90 Forums

Just thought I'd post a few pictures of my '89 Transporter. Sorta bought him on a whim after wanting one for a while (after owing a VW Golf Driver) and the only problem I've had is a flat battery cause of winter and a coolant hose blew off. Saw it advertised on eBay, and took the risk.. turns out it has had a full VW service history from new and only 2 owners, and has been and is currently well loved! As far as mods go, I fitted a new MP3 CD player with built in bluetooth for the mobby, (replacing the original Blaupunkt London and matching speakers!!) and 4 Kenwood speakers. I found that the company that converted him from a van had even had the after thought of feeding the speaker wires behind all the paneling in the event speakers would be installed! Other than that, seat covers, 2 8" subs, pinstriped tail lights, red neons (don't ask why!!), chrome truck horns, AutoGauge tacho, Midland CB 2-way, a K&N, chrome spotlights, tacky dashboard fan, and a splitscreen kombi toy..

If your in/from the Bristol area and you see me, gimme a toot or a wave!

Hi Fox, Im just down the rd a bit in Downend. Welcome to the site

Nice looking van (whats the clock thing inside)

If you see me about in the coffee and cream dream machine give me a toot (but dont run me off the rd) im not a boi racer.

My van was named elsie by my kids....sweet I thought untill I found out it wasn't Elsie it was L.C which stood for loser cruiser. KIDS...if I got a nova and started doing donuts in tesco car park then maybe id be a cool dad.

Hope to see you on the road. Sherlock
