i know yeh, floor in the back is a little builderish, it gonna get a full hit soon though, im gonna get this looking special inside. Im also installing a flip down lcd with dvd player for the kids when i get 5

I was thinking of a dark carpet or even wood flooring, dont quite know yet.

yeh gotta sort that bit of rust on sills, little bits of scrapes but nothing major. £300 should see it right the guy at the paint shop said

Just over 160k on the clock, high i know but no where near as bad as some.

Nice , just beware of the rust

Glad i went for a mk 6 in the end

...well I've never regretted getting one!

[twi66y]

rust on white doesnt go well at all does it

Did you buy it to use for work,i would convert that to a camper,if the rust is'nt to bad on the sills i would just take it off with a rotary wire brush to the metal and coat with resin,infact i have coated mine that much if the metal disappears i will be left with fibre sills.Its time i learnt to weld.
Nice van bro

Nice van bro

Cheers man
Yeh it sorta a day bus / work van.
I need the back to get my kids about in the morning, taking them school and what not and obviously i keep the tools at the back. Agreed though it would make a great camper
Gonna get the sills sorted bro, a.s.a.p then ive got a straightish van. Im happy for the money

I guess its ex Network rail or some sub-contractor, seen some new ones being kitted out the other day, good useful van to buy secondhand, my mate had the chance of one of these but bought an ex police sprinter bus instead....now he's regretting it.

100% correct bud, ex work bus for a contract company. Very handy little tool and a great buy i think considering whats inside them
I bet your buddy is really regretting that choice
My mates had sprinters since as long as i can remember... i took him the tip the other day in mine and lets just say he was a little jelous!
Ive had vw t4's myself and i wouldnt even put them in the same cateogory as a transit. they are in a leauge of their own.
