Can't beat the purposeful looks gifted to the vans destined for a working life as a 'van'. Hopefully we see folks enjoying fettling with the wheels and ride height of these modern workhorses rather than bolting big shiny colour coded spoilers, bumpers and big chrome bars.
Great bit of info guys and I like how you just winged it by studying pictures then using cable ties. Parts list of part numbers involved would be damn handy and some off the shelf loom adapters for those rear lights... Sure am getting a t5 lwb soon.
Heya Max. Thanks for watching and cheers for appreciating the Rag tag attempt. The best we could do with the time frames at hand. Will update the info as and when details become available. Gotta catch up soon brother.
What was your first van? How did you get into van based culture? Interested to know because VW vans are now prohibitively expensive for the average Joe.
Hey Dragan, Thanks so much for reaching out! It is possible to replace the interior of your T5.1 and upgrade to a T6.1 but it would be a pretty hectic surgery to perform on the van so we can't really recommend it. It would be a pretty sweet project though do if you manage, we'd love to see what you come up with :) All the best, S+S
Hey there, Thanks for reaching out! If you hit the boys up on theconversion@stitchesandsteel.com and let us know a little about you van and what you're hoping to achieve, we can give you an idea on costs, etc. I hope this helps you out!
The T6 front end is far more attractive than the 6.1 - The new lights look nice (I have some T6.1 rear LEDs on order, straight swap) But the new front bumper is ugly, and is reverting back to the T5 aesthetic.
Find these videos pretty hit and miss tbh. Sometimes the ideas are really good and other times I'm left thinking how do these guys actually make any money as it feels like they are just messing about with concepts that don't really go anywhere.
Awesome, the commercial+ look is subtlely superb!
