Darn them for beating me to it... not difficult mind at my snails pace... though I'm doing snails an injustice there.

Does it have the dash under the back seat?

I know the owner/builder of this bus and I've seen it up close and personal. It's unreal what he's done with it. When it's idling it's so quiet you can't even tell it's running. I don't know if he's been on here or not, I know him through the Irish VW scene. Real decent guy Happy

AFAIK, he had the wiring sorted to do away with the need to keep the TDI dash clocks hidden in the van somewhere.

you don't see much of the engine conversion in the magazine so here are some pics that were taken at an Irish VW show this year:

I see he has his rad in the ultimate position from your pics.. how has this affected his interior?

Cheers for the pics
