[Applause]
so after searching for months for our
dream van we finally came across one
and i cannot wait to show you around
[Music]
we are shane and anna van life this is
shane
and that's me annie and this here
is fergus arvan it's a 1982 volkswagen
t25
panel van that has been converted into a
camper van
fergus is almost 40 and is starting to
show his age
so we are renovating him in this video
we are going to give you
a van tour of what it looked like when
we first got him
so this is our van inside
we have a rock and roll base that has a
lever on the sides
you just pull up and then the back falls
as you can see and then you have a full
double sized bed
then just here we have our cooker that
has two rings we have our grill here
and the gas tank down here then we have
the sink
with the top and here we have
the water tank that is very small at the
minute we're gonna put a bigger one here
and then we have our battery and
yeah then we have more storage here
but we're going to get rid of this and
we have more storage here at the back
you can pull this up
and there's plenty of storage and then
this in here okay so underneath your bed
you have this board here
that doubles up as your table so to get
your table you just have to undo
these two latches pop out the board
and here you have your table leg so just
pop that out
pop it into the holder
there you have your table
[Music]
okay so we've shown you all the interior
of the van but let's move into the cabin
and show you the
front of the van so let's go into the
front so now we're in the front it is
very minimalistic up here
back in the 70s and 80s when volkswagen
were releasing the t25
they didn't really give you much to play
with so it is
going to be very very basic but let's
jump in and i'll show you what we have
so as always you have your huge
volkswagen steering wheel it feels like
you're driving a bus
and then you have your good old trusty
horn
but this one doesn't really work
nope it chooses what it wants to work on
when it doesn't
moving on we have our speedometer here
on the left hand side moving over to the
right both
i can put in an empty dial i don't know
why
but in here we have our diesel and then
we have our temperature
and then we have our little light
indicators for our indicators our
battery
the heat oil and our lights
then over here we have our switch for
our lights
put them on and you can adjust them and
then you have your hazards and stuff
over here
so over here you have your heat which is
pretty basic so you have your
speed whatever you want to go at you
have hot and cold air
and then you can point wherever it is
for to go
but these valves you only have
events up here so we are going to be
installing a diesel heater because
that there is not going to be enough to
keep the van those two vents for a big
band like this
down here at this button it's like some
sort of choke i think it's like an easy
start
so if the van is sitting up for a while
you can pull that there right and it
just starts a lot easier
i'm not 100 sure on this one but i'm
really sure that's what it's for
moving over we have this aftermarket
stereo
that is a bit weird
that's going to be coming out the
previous owner installed some
12 volt cigarette lighters and usb
there we have just our
little asterisk for the screws at the
moment
and then we have this
so i don't think this was installed by
volkswagen
but the previous owner had this here
installed and
that's definitely going to be coming out
because i don't want that
in the phone i'm going to show you what
it does right now if you
turn it on
up above the driver's door you have your
interior light it does work it takes a
while
and then we have the original 1982
headliner that came in the van so it's
pretty nice to have i'm going to be
keeping that
just as a nice feature
then we have the brown leather door
yards with some aftermarket
with the winers but yeah it looks pretty
good
okay guys there you have it that's our
van tour of our 1982 volkswagen t25
so the van does look a little bit
different than it did in the video we
have begun
clearing it out and starting to put down
our sound dead and insulation but that's
going to be in the next video
