I bought this cheap VW Transporter T5 a few weeks ago for £3000 and it has over 250k miles on it, we have some big plans for this van including a media vehicle, a motorbike transporter, a tow vehicle AND a camper van! So we have a long way to go as we have some big shoes to fill.. let's get started!
Today we are updating the entire look of the T5 and are doing a full T5.1 facelift upgrade, otherwise known as a T5.1 conversion. So we are taking the full front end off a T5.1 which is a newer facelift transporter and putting it on our older T5!
IT LOOKS AWESOME! Now lets get on to the other jobs...

Got to add a wrap and have it fade from the grey to white with some kind of cool design graphics. I've taken my T5.1 bumper off so many times that I've become an expert with where all the bolts are.
