DIY Aesthetic Wooden Panel Ceiling for our CURVED VAN ROOF | Budget-Friendly & Lightweight!
Welcome back to (Episode 10) of our Ford Transit van build series! This week we installed our stunning wooden panel ceiling for our CURVED roof!
After being quoted $1,500 in Sydney for Western Red Cedar which way WAYY out of our budget we decided to take things into our own hands and DIY our own wood panels using a hard wood named 'Meranti' from Bunnings Australia. Saving ourselves ALOT of money.
We appreciate all comments, feedback and constructive criticism along the way!
Please like & subscribe if you found any value in this video & for more updates on our van build journey! - it would be much appreciated x
Once our van build is complete, we are going to continue travelling Australia full-time with our dog Choppy (like we have done in our previous van for the past 3 years!) we cannot wait to get back on the road 🙌🏼

Ooh love the colour of the panels
can’t wait to see more videos😆
What is the purpose of a inverter if you are not connecting to 240v?
Looks awesome ! Well done you two
@@wikdstixofcheese thank you sooo much!!! we love it x
Congratulations, it's beautiful. It's a lot of work, but the end result is worth it.
Thank you Marcus! Yes that’s right, we’re soooo happy with it 😍
❤
Your explanations are horrible
beautiful, but SO HEAVY. let me guess, you're gonna put in a ceramic kitchen sink too
Hey guys ❤
@@kasthuri7 hellooooo ✨
270 subscriber... Kudos from Sri Lanka mate.. ❤❤❤
Guys it's lovely, keep it up. This is Malinda from Sri Lanaka.
Where you get your gas box
Where did you get the gas box from
Nice neat solar setup. Greetings from Jamaica.
Send me 5K worth of setup as well,thank you!
Loving your videos!!! Super helpful for my own can build! I just wanted to ask, did you guys glue down your hybrid flooring or is that no necessary?
Haha just a big commercial, 😂 for an offer priced setup.
$5K for that all that gear is actually pretty decent. You will always pay for quality.
Congratulations on a fantastic DIY installation guys. Happy adventuring!
Thank you so much!!! We appreciate the support 🤩✨🚐
Such a great installation, the system looks epic. Thanks guys!
Thank you so much guys! We’re so happy with it 🤩🫶🏼
I love your videos so much omg 😱😱😱😱
Find an original story to tell. Cheers
Roger that bellend
Thanks Harry! Appreciate the support, we will do 🎉
Wow great video guys, keep up the great work!
Good progress. Nice to see pop rivets instead of aluminium welding. A bit easier. Make sure you treat that rust at 09:21!
Good spot!! Yes we will be doing that 🙌🏽
"Local" being 3 hours 30 minutes from Tamworth! xD Insane
we’re based out in Tamworth & Port Mac if that makes sense 😂 we’re doing the build at 2 addresses haha, sorry for the confusion!
Comment for the algorithm
Do the screws through the subfloor framing into the van protrude outside? I've read a load of guides and a lot say to avoid drilling / screwing through because it exposes the metal to rust. Good catch on the foil tape, you sealing it all off but then screwed the subfloor wood down into it anyway, breaking the barrier?
Better slow, than too fast with many mistakes!)
Yes that’s very true! 🙌🏽✨
Congratulations on this new adventure….I am just starting the process in the US and will be following your journey…keep going you got this!🥰
Thank you! that's so exciting for you too, best of luck x
First

Square tube makes for lots of whistling

Clueless. Half a day? She says at the end it took 5 hours total to do it carefully...
Keep it going! The views will come! My fiance and I are about to start the same journey. Goodluck guys!
Thank you! Best of luck to you guys too ✨🙌🏽
very nice guys. It's best to remove your rings when working with tools though, or wear gloves. All the best.
Never wear gloves with spinning tools
I cannot wait to see what you do with the van. Im 62 and am also rebuilding a Econoline van to travel in with my pitbulls.
