The bus is now looking good. Well done… a lot of blood and sweat and I imagine tears 🤣🤣 Have a fabulous week and to say a week left of the school term… travel time ! Take care stay safe…x
I'd love to see a video on painting if that's an option. I'm pretty sure loads of folk would be interested in worrying on their own vans re their paintwork..? 5 minutes in, loving the video!
Ah brilliant, thanks Pete. Let's see if others agree - but we do have a better bonnet that'll need painting at some point and Luke always has a project on. Plus his new booth is almost ready. Could be a goer. Thanks so much, appreciate it. This one has been a lot of work 😊
Hi Rich and Kelly, hope Kelly is recovering from her accident, as for the box on the back door, put it/them virtual, you should be able to get 2 that way, all the best Neil
Thanks so much Neil, she is on the mend and much better. The bruises were crazy (still has some!). That's a good point re. two boxes. We do want to use the space to house either recovery boards or perhaps our levelling ramps. Take care.
Well done Rich and Luke..I know it has been an Epic project ..loads of hard work. I would put the storage box horizontal and leave the panels as they are. Looks great against the wood grain . Have a wonderful summer holiday 💖
Box would look better and be more functional if mounted horizontally imo. You have done a cracking job, you have a rear end anyone would be proud of. 😄
Happy days! They look so much better and now so much more practical too! Well done all! What about lacquering the panels to keep the silver look but protecting them? Would that work? Oh and option 1 I think looks best for the box.
Thanks Ian. Yeah they do look alright in Ali - my worry is powder coat might scratch. Hadn’t considered lacquer, will look into it. Thanks as always matey. Hope you’re having a good weekend and enjoying the sunshine.
I'm only just getting round to catching up with your videos guys! I was waiting for Dave, but he's watched them without me!.. anyway, looking very smart..👍🏻🙌🏻
Always impressed with the work you’ve put in to the project Rich, but this is another level 👍 For ease of access I reckon I’d go horizontal with the box but I guess it depends on what you plan to use it for 👌 ….a big well done 👏👏
Thanks mate. Appreciate it. Can’t believe how long it took but made great progress yesterday to bring it together. Horizontal is looking fave at the moment. Thanks again mate.
They look really good Rich. Box horizontal gets my vote. I notice your inside door handle is pointing outward instead of inward when open? Is it mounted wrong or was there a reason for that? Looking forward to seeing this air conditioner although it’s not something we’d ever need in Ireland 😂
Could you also tell me the dimensions and thickness of the spreader plate that Roy supplied with the wheel carrier? After making my own I’m not sure if I used a big enough plate. The door skin is crowned so I didn’t want to go too big in case it deformed the door skin when I tightened it.
That’s a great eye and yes it’s on the wink. I can’t quite figure out how it comes off, but will have to change it around. Ironically it’s more accessible this way but you run the risk of walking into it. Ha, same here most of the time re. The air con. Hot one today mind!
Personally I think you have over complicated the doors, the tool box you want to fit I would not fit🤷🏻♂️ I would say it’s something that’s not needed and drilling holes in the back door only asking for rust🤦🏻♂️

Thanks Stu, counting down the days until the summer hols. Hopefully in time for some better weather 😊. Take care and stay safe too

Put the box in horizontal
This seems to be the popular vote at the mo.

Thank you. Was some great teamwork for sure. Luke is a good egg.

Ah thanks for the kind words. Appreciate it. Pleased with that assessment 😂
Hi Rich, it would be really good if we could have a video on how to paint and what guns to use etc.
Hey Jan. Cool. Thanks for letting us know. I reckon we could focus on the bonnet for this later in the year.
What a great project think I would keep them in the raw material I've missed your project videos 😊
Thanks so much. Really enjoyed this project. We are leaning that way too now they’re on, they’re growing on us.
Mooi hoor, zijn nu zelf de 7de week onderweg met Mobyke ( onze camper). België, Nederland, Frankrijk Normandië enz…
Ah wat geweldig, over een paar weken zijn we hopelijk voorbij. Fijne reis jongens.

Lol thanks guys. Pesky impatient Dave 😂
@@WanderbusAdventures yep! 🙄🤣

Great video Rich and expanding your skills, put the box across the door, not up n down
Thanks mate. Always up for the challenge 💪. One of us thinks one way, one the other - so will add this vote to the pile 😊
@@WanderbusAdventures if you have it up n down and want something from the bottom, pain in the ass plus less height to climb.
Well done with the painting done a fair bit over the years my self keep them aliminium they look great as they are great vid all the best donny
Thanks Donny. You’re a handy chap, fair play. Thanks mate I think you’re on to something. Take care
Oooh some nice ideas here for mine!
Brill, what are you driving?
3 new doors later this year for me too 😢
You can do it 💪.
@@WanderbusAdventures hopefully better than my spelling hahaah
@@RoaminRob ha typos are sometimes harder to work out. We got it 😊

@fergusmoloney oh, well it’s the same size as the mounting face of the bracket itself if that’s of help?

Thanks for your thoughts on this and for watching.
