Charlotte has made it to the VintageCarGirls Insta gallery. During her recent holiday Charlotte caught a glimpse of a classic T2 camper. She posted the image to her own gallery where VintageCarGirls picked it up from. Thanks for the share…keep up the great work!
Daisy is currently back with us and available for sale and as part of the re-marketing campaign we have removed the Daisy decals from the exterior. Some, I’m sure, prefer the originality of the car now in it’s ‘almost’ bare form but others will miss the daring graphics. As we quite often say, any thing […]

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]It was a beautiful summer’s day today here in Suffolk, and with temperatures reaching 35′ in some parts of the country we were all welcomed with news of it being the hottest June day in 41 years. And what better way to enjoy the sunshine than to take Daisy out for her ‘completion’ photo shoot […]
The newly re-covered front seats are now in position with the passenger’s seat working as a swivel captain’s chair. We have measured the dining table so that it can fit one of two ways. The reason for this is to cater for single, double and even triple occupancy. Work continues on fitting out that interior. […]
Our curtains and tie backs have arrived from VW Camper Curtains. The full body and front cab is now fully enclosed with thermal and black out curtains throughout.
With the sun shining down in Suffolk today we’ve taken our 1989 Volkswagen T25 Camper outside to continue fitting out the interior. John from Baylham Automotive Solutions paid us his final visit yesterday on the camper so now the electrics are complete, the new sound system is installed and ready to go.
We’ve temporarily positioned the entire interior, including the newly covered seat cushions. By doing so we can fully assess what further work may be required to ensure the perfect fit. Once Asa is happy with the overly look and the measurements are spot on we can start with the permanent refit.
Work is well underway now on building up the bespoke interior. With first fit electrics now in place Asa has been able to shape the side walls and cover them in grey carpet.

When we were stripping and cleaning the inside of the camper we noticed that the side door was not running as smoothly as it should be. Upon closer inspection we noticed that the lower guide assembly (252843405A) was showing signs of wear. We managed to secure a new one on an overnight carriage and it […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]We now enter the final stages of our 1989 Volkswagen Camper T25, the interior design. With the exterior near on complete it is now time to focus our efforts on designing and manufacturing the bespoke camper van interior. So we’ve taken a detail brief so let the creative juices flow as we put together a plan for […]

Today’s the day that our 1989 VW camper ‘Daisy’ gets her wacky decals fitted. Lauren has done a grand job getting her nice and clean and the workshop is toasty and warm. The perfect environment for fitting exterior decals to a vehicle…and a lovely environment to work in too, being cold is horrible! Too cold […]
As you can see, when our 1989 Volkswagen Camper T25 arrived with us at Bridge Classic Cars fuel filler cap was fitted with a stainless checkerplate surround. The checkerplate was never going to stay but once we had removed the surround we could see the extent of the work that needed to be carried out. […]

It’s been a busy weekend for Trevor this weekend as he worked on getting our Volkswagen Camper T25 in primer ready for paint. On Monday morning Craig popped over to the paint shop in Needham Market to answer a couple of questions Trevor had and the good news is that she’s all painted and almost […]
With the bodywork well underway it’s time to fit the engine back into the T25 Camper.
Not only has Trevor and the team been working hard today on repairing the wheel arches ready for paint but they finally sealed the roof edges to ensure they are completely water tight. Although our 1989 Volkswagen Camper T25 has been sitting outside, unused, for many years, amazingly there were no signs of any water […]

Soon we’ll see a dramatic change to this restoration project as the huge task of preparing the body will be complete and her new colour will soon be evident. […]
When you are faced with a body panel that is clearly showing years of wear and tear, sometimes, the most cost effective and reassuring way to secure the longevity of the area is to replace the rotten panels with new. As you can see, that is exactly what we have decided to do on our 1989 […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In a reciprocating piston engine, the connecting rod or conrod connects the piston to the crank or crankshaft. Together with the crank, they form a simple mechanism that converts reciprocating motion into rotating motion. Connecting rods may also convert rotating motion into reciprocating motion. Historically, before the development of engines, they were first used in this way. As a connecting rod is rigid, it may […]
The VW T25 Camper engine is now well on it’s way. Mark has been busy working on upgrading the original power unit to a 1.9 litre. Giving more power, making motorway cruising a never experience with better fuel economy. The engine was low mileage and ran like a dream. We decided to get the diesel […]
We’ve been in two minds whether to replace the sump guard with brand new or repair the damage area that we have discovered on the original. Having accessed the volume of damage we have come to the conclusion that repairing the original would be much more beneficial in the long run. Not only is this […]
There’s should limited opportunity to cut corners when carrying out a respectable restoration. Only when a car is fully stripped back to metal do you see the true condition you have to work with. At Bridge Classic Cars we pride ourselves on doing things right, you’ll never hear us say ‘that’ll do’ because that just means […]
