OK, apologies that it isn't very retro but I'm excited anyway. Just bought one of these .....  VW 2.5TDI ex-AA roadside recovery vehicle, needs a lot of work to get to how I want it but that's half the fun. I have lots of plans for it...... Picking it up on Sunday - can't wait ;D |

Hey nice! Chap at work rolls one of these for his daily ride after selling his '72 Italian Ambulance. He had the door bottoms painted yellow. Fitted a rock and roll bed and few other bits! Certainly stands out in the carpark!

Yello for the door bottoms, and keep the Taxi stripes.
Taxi sign, and you are off.

I know they're not retro, but I really do like these. Used to drive them when they were brand new (1997) and they're cracking to drive, especially with a five-pot.
There are some very nicely sorted ones about - as well as some utterly ruined ones!

just dragged it home in the rain - time to get stuck in.....   first priority is to sort the gearbox - won't select 5th or reverse - hoping it's just a linkage problem and not the box itself (still, thats why I got it cheap!) |

Yay! Another one on RR. Mines a bit older (91) and not a TDi so it's slow.... but there you go. Here's mine, must do a thread on it 'cos it was a rust bucket when I got it!!  |

I've got a T4 too, mines also a 1.9td so it's proper slow (though not as slow as my old mk1 Golf diesel..). Mine currently won't move either coz I couldn't refit one of the glow plugs! Grrrr!!! I've done a diy camper conversion with full width rock n roll bed, cooker and fridge, saving up for a spray job, alloys and a damn good slamming! give www.vwt4forum.co.uk a look, theres plenty of ideas and advice (as there should be on all good furums!)

now to start the hard work......  Anyone know the best place for lowered springs? and looking for some alloy wheels / tyres if anyone has any for sale? inside is where most work required - previous owner appears to have used it as a skip   |
