Tandyvan

Whilst looking good in pictures on close inspection this T25 Autosleeper needed some serious work. All 4 wheel arches, some window surrounds and behind the sliding door track! The seat belt mountings looked ok until they had a good pull !! All painted and refitted interior. Finally refresh the stripes to take away the caravan …

Every shop needs a truck.

In amongst customers vehicles I’m trying to make progress on our early singlecab. I can’t believe we’ve had it over a year now and it’s time to get it sorted, such a useful tool to have and cool as they come too! It’s a ‘68 South African import so right hand drive. It’s all there …

Recently in the workshop

We took this T25 on in late 2019, looking a bit sad even crying tears of rust! It was obvious that the gutters were bad but when they fell off in my hand I knew it was serious. After discussion with the owner we decided to take the hightop off and asses the situation at …

New Workshop

It’s been a strange few months since getting back from holiday. We had to vacate our previous place at the end of August due to it being sold for development. Six weeks with a drive full of vans and dodging the showers to try and continue doing some work has not been fun. On Monday …

European Tour 2019: Quartrieme Partie

Day 21, we left Lac Leman behind and headed north into the beautiful Jura. Route Blanche was as much fun as it looked on the map. A really enjoyable 204km drive took us near to Dijon, a free camping spot at Athens les Bains on the banks of the Saone. Not only free camping in …

European Adventure 2019: Partie Trois

Lausanne is beautiful, we parked up in a large car park near where the cruise ships dock, not much shade and the temperature was in the 30s. The aim was to walk up to the highest part of the city for the views. Escaliers du Marche Worth the effort It was such a hot day …

European Adventure 2019: Deuxieme Partie

Our next move was on to the brilliantly named Bouzey de Chaumousey, a very strange place. The satnav took us into some woods and down a rapidly deteriorating dirt road seeming a bit unlikely especially when we rounded a corner into what appeared to be a wedding party, we stopped dead in front of a …

European Adventure 2019: Partie Un

The original plan was to get the tunnel crossing on the 16th June and go to Abenteuer Allrad, the overland vehicle show in Bad Kissingen, Germany via our friends in Brussels for a night! Other than that we were making it up as we went along. However as often happens, life and work intervene. By …

Chester rocks Denim Blue

Chester the T25 left us today. After 5 weeks in the workshop he looked fab with new lower panels and fresh colourscheme - VW Candy White over Denim Blue.

Picnic with the Kombi Life crew, New Forest

We had a very exciting day out to meet the Kombi Life crew - Ben, Leah and Alaska with their new bus Boomerang, as they set off on their round the world trip! Copito even made an appearance, with new owner Grant and family. We met some lovely people, and had our first night in …
