I found this channel whilst looking for a how to remove radiator guide for T5, I then watched each episode back to back, I have some similar other issues that need sorting in the near future, so I will 100% be referring to these vids again. Top job on the T5 looks spot on. Looking forward to binge watching your golf resto now.
Thank you so much for the comment and for watching bud! Glad you have enjoyed the content and that it has/will be helpful!
Mate can i just say well done that van is amazing all your hard work has payed off 👏

Well I’m picking up my 2019 T6 panel van next week to convert into a camper so I might be sorted with your existing vids :). I look forward to seeing what you cook up.
Really enjoyed watching this series🔥it’s nice to see someone restoring a t5 instead of a t6 or a t6.1 because the older vans are still really cool

Good effort mate. Watched every episode some time and dedication went into that bad lad.

Thank you for watching and for the comment!
Hey Dan the van looks sick I've loved the progress of the van cant wait to see more projects 👍
Thank you for watching and for the comment!
@@DanChambersDAC your welcome dude
What.. Final vid! I was looking forward to seeing what you were going to do to the inside. I think you should definitely continue the build and complete this baby. You’ve done so well so far!
Also, it would definitely be worth more then what you are considering selling for currently. 👌
Enjoyed the channel thoroughly!
Thank you for watching and for the comment! Would love to have done a full conversion on it but I think all of the profit would have gone from it. If it was bought to build and use myself I maybe would have but it was always a project.
Nice work Dan, have inspired me to do more work on my T5.
Thank you for watching and for the comment! So glad to hear it! Get stuck in!
BIG WORK
its good work you do mate hence the followers , just keep it coming as you will go far bud :)
Thank you for watching and for the comment!
Well done mate class work
Thank you for watching and for the comment!
Hope series two gets recommissioned : ) ,really enjoyed the journey with you ,cheers
Thank you for watching and for the comment! I just need to decide on a vehicle....
Looking smart! Good luck with the sale 😎👍🏼
Thank you for watching and for the comment! Cheers bud!
Have watched all vids lad looking forward to next project
Thank you for watching and for the comment!
Watched all the videos top job looks great
Thank you for watching and for the comment!
Great channel fantastic van keep it up mate well done
Thank you for watching and for the comment!
Wish we still had these in the US. Van looks epic!
Thank you for watching and for the comment! Yeah, They should sell them in the states...
Looks mighty fine
Thank you for watching and for the comment!
Nice job mate. My identical van is coming on nicely, thanks in part to your videos. Cheers.
Thank you for watching and for the comment! So glad they are helping you!
It is really a gorgeous van. I really wish we had these in the states.
Thank you for watching and for the comment! It's crazy that they don't sell them in the states...
Great stuff Dan, looks top notch. Bit gutted it’s all done as I’ve been loving following it. Looking forward to whatever comes next (enjoy the break but don’t leave us hanging too long eh?!) 👌🏻
Thank you for watching and for the comment! I need to decide on what I want to do next really...
Dan Chambers another van boyo! Make further use of the stables, great to have that space at your disposal buddy!
Great work, good luck with the sale
Thank you for watching and for the comment!
Love it
Thank you for watching and for the comment!
How about raffling it off? I know most people that have watched the channel would probably like to own it and it’ll give everyone a chance? Definitely make your money back and more? Worth a thought
Definitely
Definitely raffle.I’d happily pay a tenner for a chance to win it.With 12k subs,you’ll only need a fraction of us to take part.I’m sure the majority would have a go.
Thank you for watching and for the comment! I had thought of this, Problem is that there are legal implications with raffling. You need a gambling licence or a company that has one that will then want paying for the service. way around it is to sell a piece of merchandise and each piece gives an entry but would have to sell a lot of merch to raise the money needed. Possibly for a future cheaper vehicle to test it out with...
I think your channel success is down to you been a very likeable person, keep it up mate 👍
Thank you so much for watching and for the nice comment!
Badass dude. Just thought you could stuff a bit of insulation in the hole under the driver seat cover 😁
Looks sweet mate
Thank you for watching and for the comment!
Please do some more content Dan. Always down to earth and interesting to watch 👍
Thank you for watching and for the comment! I need to decide on a vehicle for series 2!
The Van looks Snazzy ✌
Thank you for watching and for the comment!
Banger job! Think i'll re-watch this series a few times. 👍🏻
Excited to see your next project!
Would you consider mounting a few tiedown points in the rear on the next one, just to make it a bit more practical?!
---
(p.s.: side-by-side shots of before and after would've been the cherry on top, for all the ones tuning in just now - cuz you _really_ brought that thing back from the dead!)
Thank you for watching and for the comment! I need to decide on the next project. I meant to add side by sides in... the videos was mega rushed so I could get this video out and get it up for sale.... need to be more organised!
Great job. Loved every video. Can’t wait to see what’s next. Keep us informed on the sale because I don’t do Instagram. Well done again
Thank you for watching and for the comment! I need to make a decision... The van sold after 4 day's!
Dan Chambers what ever you decide we will be watching for across the pond. I run a van gathering every October in the west of Ireland. A small Irish pub and great craic. Your welcome to over. Check out Campfest on Facebook.
No doubt it’ll sell as it’s a lovely little van now.
Would of been cool to raffle it off though. With 12.5k subs you’d of got the tickets sold to cover the cost and someone who’s been enjoying the project could of had an awesome win out of it.
Thank you for watching and for the comment! I did look into it but you need a gambling licence or someone with a gambling licence. I am going to look into it for a future project I think as I have had a lot of comments about it.
Dan, do a caddy next . 🙂. Not many people have uploaded builds on a caddy
Thank you for watching and for the comment! Not a bad idea....
Seeing this series has convinced me to get a van one day
Thank you for watching and for the comment! Do it! They are amazing vehicles and give you so much freedom!
@@DanChambersDAC Im thinking about either a T2 or a T25 Syncro van hopefully, something a little older but just as practical
Hi man, with the Montanan paint did it mark easy? With like grease bug residue ect
Dan can you tell me what you used to colour front bumper please
Looks great 👌 I'd of done exactly the same look but bumpers would go in the end 👍
Thank you for watching and for the comment!
Jolly spiffing result old bean. Jolly spiffing indeed
Thank you for watching and for the comment!
Looks well buddy, shouldn’t be hard to sell
Thank you for watching and for the comment! Sold within 4 day's!
Followed this throughout lockdown. What a series and what a van you’ve got out of it. Trying to get my Mrs on board to doing our own up. Would love to see you take on a Mk2 GTi or are you thinking T5 content still?
Thank you for watching and for the comment! I really can't decide what I want to do! So many projects going round in my head!
Nice work mate, have loved the project!! Please tell me that you tidied up the engine bay though!! lol
Thank you for watching and for the comment! I had a clean up and touched some parts in.
What did it sell for in the end?
Great work, finished item looks great. What was causing the cold bottom hose issue though?
Thank you for the comment! Thank you! it didn't turn out too bad did it! There was an air lock in the system. I drove it and it sorted itself.
Dan did you sort out the ABS light that was on. You have done a great job there.
Thank you for watching and for the comment! We coded the circuit off with VCDS as it isn't needed anymore due tot he plugs being cut off.
Did you ever do a breakdown video of cost etc.?
Great content 👍🏼
Great series, thanks. Ps: surely worth replacing the conduit between drivers door and bonnet? Looks manky!
Thank you for watching and for the comment! Not sure which part you mean...
Desde Spain
Gracias por los videos y espero pronto un nuevo proyecto
Las llantas ( tire) donde las puedo comprar
Gracias 😜👌
¡Gracias por mirar y por el comentario! Las ruedas son de Tamar Wheels en Instagram
Can looks nice man! For the next one you should put a lift kit on instead 👍
Thank you for watching and for the comment! Im not a fan of a lifted T5/6 They should be lowered!
Awsome series ! How was the graffiti paint to spray on ?
Thank you so much for the comment and for watching bud! Easy to be fair. I would suggest getting the van into a wind free space though as the can's don't offer much pressure.
I know it’s been a while. But what size tyres did you put on the wheels. Cheers mate. Plus the no1 is looking good with the front end on
Now you are asking! I think 225/45 maybe? Best to speak to Paul at Tamar Wheels
Another great vid. Hope something else is coming to the channel mate. As I like your style. I’m sure it’s as good as sold mate. As it’s been well documented so don’t sell to cheap mate.
Thank you for watching and for the comment! I need to decide on another project and get looking. I took a deposit after 4 days!
Dan Chambers great stuff mate. Looking forward to what’s next.
I noticed this van in a transporter hq video about changing the headlights, and there has been a lot of involvement from them so was it yours??
Thank you for watching and for the comment! Yes this is the van that the headlights were tested on. They used it as it was local. I am friends with the guys there anyway.
What was the issue with the cold bottom pipe? Did u take the thermostat out and did it cure it. Ive got the same issue.
Honestly can't remember! This was over 2 years ago. Sorry.
Honestly can't remember! This was over 2 years ago. Sorry.
I hope its a caddy build next😉
Thank you for watching and for the comment! I do fancy a caddy, they are just a bit small though...
👍👍👍👍
Thank you for watching and for the comment!
Tire size ???/??r18?
Nice job 👍where did u get the wheels? Expensive? Doing same van at moment .
Thank you for watching and for the comment! I got the wheels from Tamar Wheels on instagram. Not too expensive.
How did you paint that van bro? Looks nice
Thank you for watching and for the comment! It was Graffiti paint. There are a few videos in the series documenting it.
