  • Just bought transporter

    Hey all I have just bought a 97 Transporter to do mail delivery, brings back memories of growing up in the back of my parents split screen kombi.
    The Trasporter is in my oppinion much better than a hiace that everyone keeps telling me I shoud have bought
    Looking forward to getting the next one, as I will need a few for work.

    How it looked when I picked it up.




    What it's looking like now, bit more work to do, getting addictive.

      Looks alot better in the hands of a enthusiast

      HiAce may have the name but Transporter/Caravelles ride 100x better

          Thanks, has been lots of cleaning but is coming up great. Im very happy with the way it drives, I took a carravell for a drive when I baught this one and it sounded like the front end was going to fall out, have no idea what he had done to it.

            I use tyre shine by Pyrol, I have to buy it in a 20 L drum and it's great on plastics. my bumpers are a bit past it and I will paint them but for the time being it makes it look clean.
