How it started.....  How it’s going....  where to start on the mods.....rear bed was removed and replaced with scaffold boards, suspension was dropped 100mm on custom shock mounts and springs, then later replaced with full hydraulic rams, custom engine mount, fully chassis notched, golf Vr6 front splitter, hub adaptora and T5 GP steels fitted, clear indicators and bonnet deflector. Inside hasn’t changed much but it’s next on the list, originally fitted Audi TT seats, then removed and replaced with a custom Vw T2 bench seat fitted in front and aftermarket Nardi steering wheel. not sure whether this really belong on here but if there’s enough interest (or any at all haha) I’m probably going to start a build thread, even if it’s just for my own enjoyment. |

A few pics of various different states it’s found it’s self in.
The green springs were a 60mm drop, the blacks were 110mm, now it’s sat on hydros giving it a 160mm drop overall
The bench seat is custom fabricated out of 2 single T4 seat bases and a rear bench seat from a T2 bay.

Love it, especially the bench seat, looks really comfortable and tones well with the wheels and the bed.

It is comfy but it needs moving forward 2” but I’ve had to mod the handbrake already just to get 2 clicks. Luckily the hydros allow the van to bottom out, so I just the front subframe as a handbrake at present hahaha

Did you do the hydro work yourself or did you get someone to fit it for you? Asking for a friend. |
