Does owning a T2 get better!!!
Hi all, bought a 1998 t2 lwb last week signed up here for a tenner and so far ive had the spanners out a few times the welding gear and now the bugger wont start!!! what fun
 Im hoping it will start when i re connect the battery after welding in new rear seat belt points and a few other patches!! But for some reason i do like it. Great advice on here and everyone seems really friendly which is all good

Great you are running again.
Re your title... Does owning a T2 get any better? I've had mine 18 years from new. Best car I have ever owned Does that answer your question? Best regards, Rustic
