Beginning the restoration journey mid 2020 – 1973 VW T2

We are expecting our 1973 Volkswagen T2 to join us mid 2020 to start the restoration journey. The VW T2 is a joint wedding gift to the current owners and being a master carpenter the interior will be a treated to full bespoke rebuild. The camper will be in with us to have the body work repaired and to undergo a full re-paint inside and out.

Our first task will be to chemical treat the body shell to reveal all imperfections and to remove all dead metal so we can then repair to the highest of standards.

The previous owner has been kind enough to delve through the history of the car to send through some images of when the restoration work took place.

Play in Piston Ring

As you can see from the video below. The piston rings are of the wrong size, resulting in a lot of play and causing damage to the engine.
