VW Bay Window van new ownership — what to check first

2 June 2026Bodywork & Exterior

The Problem

A VW Bay Window van has changed hands and the new owner is beginning a documented phase of inspection and work. No specific fault has been described yet in the submitted content.

Solution

  1. Review the van's history and any previous work or modifications carried out by the last owner.
    • This helps identify what has already been done and what may still need attention.
  2. Carry out a full visual inspection of the bodywork, underside, and mechanical components before starting any work.
  3. Document findings with photos so you have a clear baseline record to refer back to throughout the project.
