Mercedes Vario Minibus To Camper Conversion | Pt1 - Strip Down and Rust Repairs

2002 Mercedes Vario 814d. A boring old minibus being converted into a camper named VEGAS!
Pt1 - We tackle the mammoth task of removing rust and welding. After stripping out the interior, we found a lot more rust than we bargained for! We had a decision to make… get stuck in and bring her back to life or quit before we had even started.
Here we go….

Thank you.. We’re glad it shows how much work has been done so far. It sometimes feels like progress is slow but we’ll get there! We hope to document the whole build so there may be another video soon 😀

@@TheOverlandRover I’ve watched a fair few vario builds now so I know how much work they take, even just to get down to the chassis. Good luck and I look forward to the next one 😍😎👍🏻

Thanks Terry! We've been looking at raptor paint recently funnily enough.. but I think we're a little far off that yet 😂 are you documenting your build at all?
