Club 80-90 Forums

Thought it's time to say hello to everyone on here.

We've been reading & learning off here for about 6 months & have met a few people who live local to us ( HI )

We've got a T25 that has definitely seen better days & have been trying to get it on the road since the start of the year - however working outside & the weather ( along with me working away ) means we haven't got very far.

It's an air cooled camping model & so far I'm still on the front panel ! - I've just treated myself to a blast cabinet / compressor / air tools & more importantly a cover & gazebo so will hopefully get some progress over the next few weeks & will load some more pics on as I get chance.

I'm sure I'll be asking for loads of hepl & information as I progress !

Hiya, welcome to the club.

Ian, Jackie, Tina & Tara.

hi and welcome

Hi and welcome.

Hiya and welcome. We have a 1980 van as well. Looks like you are having fun, I get my wife's uncle to help me with ours. He's got it at the moment doing some more work - a new back panel and a new offside lower sill.

Look forward to seeing more pictures as you progress.

Regards

Steve

Hello there. Welcome to the club

Now then Always good to see folks battering up old vans...

Welcome

What part of Brummyville are you from?

hiya another proper van

how do

Well - back from work & it's raining heavily ( for a change )

Thanks everyone !

Well - we're in South Birmingham near Kings Heath & I'll update as & when I can - just takes ages to resize all the pics.

At the moment just tyring to get the front panel finished & some paint on it - then the roof base can go on & screen back in so it's watertight (ish) - if you ignore the holes around the side window.

It was a bit of an e-bay bargain ( aren't they the best ones ) as my wife's been mad on them & wanted one for years - after hiring a bay for a long weekend (O'conners campers - devon - very nice & friendly & good fun ) but not useable enough went for the T25 - but had to be Aircooled.

And where it's at now

I've got a few days off next week so I'm hoping to get the base of the roof on - It's a Autohomes Kamper - It lifts straight up & the sides fold up/down - Another ebay bargain that needs total rebuild (off to look at gas struts for it tomorrow ) - If anyone has any pictures of these at all I'd be forever greatful as I've got to work out how it goes together !

If all goes to plan I'll post some more pics - & If I can work out I'll post pics straight on.

Cheers for the encouragement - always needed !
