Description
The VW has been loving restored to combine modern needs while keeping all the original features. This T2 Camper will sit at 70mph all day long and accelerate at the speed of a modern T6. She now has 110hp increased from the original factory 70hp. Performance VW brake upgrade which allows ample stopping capability.
Inside it was imperative to keep the old retro units and work with them. Fitting a fridge kit in the old cool box created a unique usable fridge to go camping for weeks. The addition of the sink and gas hob combo into the original work top looks greet. New fire-retardant rock and roll seat foam and pop top foam was replaced as well as all the fuel lines. Not just for safety but practicality it has made the VW E10 compatible.
