  • Project Roy! The multi-staged Build thread!

    So, after being dicked about extensively by my previous employer for my final paycheque, I was finally able to go and pick up my first ever T4, Roy!

    Delighted!

    He’s a white, 1.9 800 from ‘98.













    Unfortunately he’s been neglected of late and is in need of a lottle bit of TLC.

    so...Phase 1 - Road Legal

    Phase 2 - use as van/daily to complete other projects around my house and work on my Golf

    Phase 3 - Tidy up and complete a cheeky wee conversion.

    Of course, if phase 1 isn’t cost effective, then I might have to sell it on, or split for parts.

    Assistance will be called upon regularly!

    Cheers

    Graeme; ‘Big G’

          The things on the corners of the van that are between the van and the road are wheels

              Looks a good starting point, not unlike our old tub. Don't be too quick to pull it all out and throw away. When we got ours I took out the ply lining, but when I saw the price of new I fished it out from behind the shed dried it out and covered with 4 way carpet. Should have kept the manky ply floor to use as template as i'll be fecked if i'm paying 100 quid for a new one when I can get the ply from B and Q for 50 notes.

                        Think you need a new pollen filter at some point.

                        How come it's not road legal, any known probs or is it just mot and tax required?

                              So far; break pipes, power! hopefully just the battery, but when I drove it back to mine I had no power at all -lights, indicator, odo, radio. The fuel gauge was working on nothing but gravity, and roundabouts I went from empty tank to half a tank! Haha

                              Apart from that, there’s one hole in the front wheel arch. I just need to establish whether it’s rotted anything behind it.

                              Once I get it ticking over and starting on its own, I’ll take it in for a diagnosis.
