The new addition (T25 devon camper)

Hi all,

So here we are, We bought this today, A T25 aircooled devon camper it does need a fair bit off TLC but i think it would make a good camper for me bec and the kids,
It has 2 engines wif it but both hav the bottom end gone so will hav to look into it and see wot i can salvage,
On the whole it is fairly solid and straight, jus a couple of bits of small welding needed but really aint a lot at all,
So hoping to start it soon as we can find a storage space and a trailor to trailor it back, and hav it all done for begining off next yr.

Here are some off the pics we took,

















And all for the price off.....................................................................................................................................................................................................................

£300

Nice little project, now you can weld its going to be easy job;)

Nice looking 25 dude... Where is it coming from cos i recognise the bay in the pics???

If you get stuck for a trailer i can help on that..

Aaron if you get stuck for some where to put it mate i got a parking space back of me house

carl - yeah well lets see how the weld holds up on the bug well the bit done any way, but was good enuf to pass MOT so all good

Rich - i got it from holford on way to minhead so not to far so made it easy to go view, found it on ebay
Mate if you could help out wif trailor would be more than happy to chuck some £££ your way for doin it, jus got to find a car to borrow wif to bar then as my car aint got one on

well i was gonna stick it down unit for now a pay to keep it out side so i can work onit like tht for now till i can sort out some thing else,

cheers for the offer tho

No probs mate anytime

looks good for that money, and its got two kids seats in the front some parts can be a nightmare to get hold of for the early vans, vw had a major upgrade/overhaul about 1985 on these. bits look the same but just won't go on from later vans

good work, but i would say looking at the colour of those footwells you need to pull the windscreen out and do a small repair to each corner of the scuttle panel. as the passenger side will be dripping on to the fuse box for sure

ok mate cheers for the advise, is that a dash out too, or easy enuf to leave tht in, gonna start rubbing it back soon and see wots underneath on the out side, then look in to the paint side off it,

If any one can point me in the rite direction off any one who can do it localy would be most gratefull ?

should be ok with dash left in, is normally the bit metal that the window rubber sits over that rots away.
