mk 5 swb semi high roof

[john yates]

Sorry folks I strayed from the fold for a couple of years, looking for a way back in ! As above mk 5 swb semi roof would be good, £ 1000 for a straight van, white preferred

Welcome back m8
Look in the ebay section as there's a nice turbo/auto one

[john yates]

Thanks for the heads up, nice van, shame it's an auto, I don't much like auto !

is this any goodhttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2001-SMILEY-F ... 3aa3e56479

Thanks Yes watching this one, only thing that would worry me is, it says it is fibre glassed halhway up the in sides ! What happens when you need to weld the rear corners which you will almost certainly need to do ?

[davew2]

Must admit i didn't read that. you can see it on the sides just looks like it has been boarded then glassed but you could do to know if the glass is direct to the floor if so it could be hiding a multitude of sins

Re mk5 auto box, would it be possible to swap an auto to a manual box ?

[MinorMatt]

Yes - its just put the gearbox, mount, crossmember, flywheel, clutch, clutch cable, pedal and propshaft in (with a flywheel)

You will also want the plastic bit that pop rivets to the floor round the gearstick.

It will have a permanent fault code logged (ECU light will be up for 5 secs when starting) but it won't affect it running
