ENGINE SWAP TIME!! VW Transporter T5 Dream Build.

Sorry about the parrot sound in the background. It's actually the packing team with a tape gun sending out your parcels :)

After having watched the video back, we didn't really cover a lot of the actual engine swap. This engine is the 2.5 TDI that came out the silver LHD pre production VW Transporter T5. The blue shell we bought, had already had the engine removed. The engine going in has cover 2600 kilometres, so only 1600 miles! Its sat for over 20 years on the silver Caravelle, mostly at the back of an aircraft hanger, until we bought it.

It's amazing to see this build coming to together. I can't wait to show you the next stage, thats when it starts to get pretty.

Any guesses what the colour will be?

The next video will show this Dream build Transporter at Loughborough Paintworx, with Steve and his team working their magic. It's going to look, and drive mega!!

Details on the underslung A/C unit will be featured in the next video. It's such a cool bit of kit (no pun intended) Its going to be a game changer for keeping your campers chilled in the summer heat.

I hope you've enjoyed this video, please do hit that like button, it means a lot.

As always, thanks for watching
