These camper conversion vids put the first I have watched from this guy.. but he deserves more credit when he is paying out for all of the parts and filming and editing all of the vids for our entertainment.. well done fella 👍🏼
It's been a dream of mine to live off grid, and go anywhere I like. I'm not brave enough to do it, but I like the idea.
Hi mate van looks good. Here's a tip on how to remove the pain in the arse glue, you can pick up a freezing spray in some motor shops. It will freeze the glew and with a wee chap of a hammer and screwdriver it will brake off and speed up the process. Found this out the hard way! Good luck and enjoy!
Setting a bed in it would be super
Jigsaw is a seriously underrated tool. Keep up the good work 👍
like watching conversions for different ideas, and i like your way of presenting what you do, hope you have many #happymilesandsmiles from it when its done.
Great job, for future reference you can get a silicone removal jel that gets brushed on old silicone and should make removal easier and quicker.
Really enjoying you build. In fact I sent your link to my Brother, who’s a carpenter that’s always looking for unique things. Great job.
Clever techniques and explanations! 👍
Amazing. Watched this and the wheel repair. Subbed 👍👌🇮🇪
Looking good m8, look forward to the next one
Good job sir. Looking forward to the next vid
Great video looking forward to part 3
Keep the good work up great videos bro give me some good ideas for when I buy a van looking forward to see what you do next cheers 😎👍
Really enjoying this series 👍
Looking good! 👍☺️
Wow... looks fantastic. Thanks for the video
Great tutorial
Loving these videos - have a gray Audi and going to try your paint repair tutorial as mine has same damage. Main reason for the post is I saw Knauf insulation in the back and I spent a few months as a machine operator for them here in Australia haha. Spun out. Terrible company to work for but make a good product.
You make it look so easy love your videos
Hi buddy A nice video perfect work but use safety glasses otherwise such a project can be over quickly. Looking forward to the next video. Kind regards from Germany Kai
A couple of trestles wouldn't go amiss either before you put the blade into your leg.
you do some nice work! BUT some safety eye glasses would be a great idea if you like to keep your vision for future projects.
Wonderful work
Great video keep them coming
Great job so far
Here that's 1 of the best there mate
Great job 👌🏻
that plywood floor looked very tight fitting. what about expansion, do you not leave a few mm all round for the damper weather?
I converted a sprinter once that could also carrry to scramies, the waiitng on parts liek special would, trimmings and all that made the 6 week project into 6 months, i had to pack it in, unless you have all the parts upfront, this camper stuff takes MONTHS! Finished a 27ft leyland tho, she was a beauty
looking good
TASTY WORK there
Great job, I've seen other guys fit a vapour barrier , is that essential ?
Great stuff its starting to take shape. A couple of folding trestles would make life much easier when cutting the ply though lol
Yes! I wouldn’t mind I have some🙄
Have you considered using a pop up roof? Would love to see one
Nicely done did you know that screwfix do a silicone remover
Hi mate. Any tips for not using a vapour barrier. Your video is one of the only ones I've seen without it. I'm starting converting my Primastar and I really can't be assed messing about with a vapour barrier if it isn't necessary. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks 👍👍
This is my dream
Also, get spare wires in their, just 1 or 2 to each corner, the amount of time iv come wanted to add more features but just didn't have the power for it behind the boards and its too late when its all fixed lol
Have you finished the conversion? Please do more videos on it if you haven't finished it x
Are you going to add a vapour barrier?
Not sure its a good idea but I'm pretty sure the black tar like glue around the base of the van is flammable, just don't breath it in.
Is there any need for a vapour barrier of any kind? Videos are awesome, keep up the good work!
with that type of insulation, you shouldn't seal moisture in as it is porous i'm lead to believe!
do u screw the crews directly in tho the car? hope u understand my question
Haha T6 front, good man! BTW 2k quote to line a van?? I'm in the wrong game! 👍
Yep to ply line, carpet and vinyl floor
Good video :)
Insulation overkill is probably why I noticed you didn't apply the silver on the opposite side? Just curious, that's all. If you notice a difference, please let us know? 👍
on the left hand side of the insulation you forgot about foil (aluminium plated) insulation
Hi what size board you us on the side, the thickness.
Ale fuszerka, fachowcy jak cholera. 🤣🤣🤣
Great vids but please use goggles when using the grinder. Asking for trouble
Red lead the parts on the floor the paints missing, you will have future spills that will find their way under and pool on them . Dont forget a small gap for expansion on those hot summer days
Think the nearside reflective insulation was missed at the back of the van ...I must have OCD.
Did I miss something? What are you screwing the ply into on the sides? Is it the pre drilled holes?
I was going to ask the same!
Using self drilling screws into the subframe.
What did it cost?
You can do it faster than 6 month, it depends how much time you want to spend on it
👍🏴
Can you teach me in person？
Can you do a cost breakdown video
Send me a msg on insta I will give you a breakdown
Could you give a rough idea of cost to deck out the inside of the camper?
Depends on the finish you could spend 2k or 10k!
@@Mad4Motors_ thank you
With the plywood flooring - Would it be a better idea to use a CNC machine or do you think it would just cause more headaches? I have access to a very good machine in work that accurate to 0.01mm
If you have a cnc machine you have a big advantage are u in Ireland?
Mad4Motors Yeah I’m in Ireland. Carlow specifically. DM me if you’re looking for something and I’ll try sort it out
🇮🇩
Buy some trestles...
Я тоже переделываю авто
Just curious- why remove the strengthening bar in the window. Could you have put two windows in around the bar?
It’s common practice to remove this bar on the vw otherwise you would have a bar blocking most of the window
Need more new videos bud
Are you a truck driver?
😂no
Please get some safety glasses, remember your on your last set of eyes!
that floor is as tight as a pair of nun's knickers, no room for expansion no???
Yeah it was tight I opened it out more.
We hate parts man ! If you are doing it right put it in one video no matter how long but not parts
please sub indo
That's a bit excessive 3/4 ply on the floor, and all that added weight......
what a waste of time
Looking good! 👍☺️
