Now I really am feeling jealous (well apart from the manual gearbox )So VW has me back in its grips!!!
The jimny was a great little runaround, but needed my VW fix!View attachment 121823View attachment 121824
One of the very last vw T6.1 LWB 4motion factory hightops, highline, 150 manual with diff.
It was a cancelled order.
It’s a bit of a chore, and forget it’s got 6 (jimny only 5).Now I really am feeling jealous (well apart from the manual gearbox )
looking forward to seeing the swamper mods lolHave a heat pad I used in the jimny, just a little messy compared to factory fit. Hopefully we get a nice summer so won’t need it for awhile.
Will be pinching some of your ideas later when funds allow. Owning a white jimny and seeing your white cali swamped out mads me really like the colourlooking forward to seeing the swamper mods lol
Won’t be as posh as a joker or cali. Just need it to meet my needs and my budget/issues with last joker ruled another out.Welcome back young man! Looking forward to see your build progress and details!
That’s so cool. I had no idea you could spec a high top transporter.So VW has me back in its grips!!!

Looked good, I’m doing a very unusual layout setup.Having converted three T5s and a T6 I must admit that having one of those with a factory high top the others with Reimo high tops I would never bother with the factory roof again.
There is nowhere near a much space in the factory one as the Reimo version, factory ones only have the option of high rear doors where as if fitting a Remo (or any other that may be available) you can retain the rear hatch access.
Here is my last one which is now sold. We've now gone to a LWB MAN TGE which I didn't convert myself.
All my personal opinion of course.
It will be good to see how you build it.Looked good, I’m doing a very unusual layout setup.
Van needs to do lots more than just the norm

He’s some more inspirational pictures
Bull bar fitted it’s all stainless 450£ I got it new off eBay for 150£
Stainless black side bars from transporter hq really good quality
Front runner typhoon bag and front runner straps and top boxes
Quite nice having a blank canvas like yours you can get creative
Leaving it as two seats that swivel will make a good dog bed also loads of storage underneathQuick pic of cab.
Has bench seat and it folds down (nice bit of storage there) so have decided to keep as having 3 belted seats may come in handy, as I’m not fitting any travel seats/rocknroll bed in back.
Drivers seat is captain type with arm rest which is nice and I can access rear without getting out of van not as easy or good as two captain chairs that swivel like cali. Handy if I ever need to leave a stealth park up quick/late at night.
