We are getting our couch with in a week to 2, I give you guys to High Fives for working on that van....awesome work guys I am Jelly....cant wait to see if live.
Hi really really enjoyed watching your video really great job can’t wait to watching more of the van build really looking forward to watching your next video keep safe 😷👍🏻
I’m enjoying watching you working on this project. It’s great to see such teamwork and that’s a good young cleaner you had there! I’m sure that it will look fab when the conversion is completed. That’s precision work, cutting out the positions for the windows, there’s absolutely no margin for error there. Hats off for doing it to perfection. The van is really looking like a camper now, from the outside. Looking forward to seeing the next stages of the build.
Typical on the day the windows turn up it’s raining - brilliant job - what a transformation in a day - look forward to the next one - thank you, all the best, David & Rachel 🙌
Looking good Guys!, I used to work for Mercedes Benz commercial in Edinburgh for over 25 years and we used to send Sprinters to a company to get converted, can’t remember how much it was off hand to do the windows but you Guys are doing a good job!. Best wishes Bruce & Linda x.
Loving your van build, you two are always so upbeat and happy, an absolute pleasure to watch and we love your little family, reminds us so much of ours 15 or so years ago. Keep up the absolutely fabulous work. Looking forward to watching more of your great van build!! Love Carl, Jackie and Daisy xxx
A brilliant start to the van build. It may have looked like Stu was doing everything but we all know about the other jobs that go on behind the scenes so no need to justify yourself hun. You’re a great team. Looking forward to watching the progression. Much love Liz n Gray ❣️
Well done they look amazing. Thats a stressful job for you to do. Not only have you got us all watching you but the pressure to get it spot for fitting with no room for mistakes and in a short time too. 👏👏🌟🌟
I loved this video! Brought back all the memories of our build, I do miss the build stage - would love to do it all over again! Looking forward to seeing the progress on this guys, see you soon ♥️
Another great vlog guys. Lovely meeting you both yesterday and Emilia at the NEC yesterday totally wiped us our today from walking around there. Can't wait to watch next 1 x
You've both done a fantastic job so far and those windows look superb. So sleek. All the best with the next stage. Catch you maybe over next couple of days 😉😁. Martin
Lovely to see you guys all working together on the project. It’s going to look awesome when it’s done. We will probably end up getting Crafter envy 😂 xx
Hi I'm looking forward to this van build series. It would of been better to put the windows in with suction holders but fair play you've done it. I would advise to thoroughly test for water leaks before your next stage. 😃
Hi Charlie Stu ,well how scary was that cutting the hole for the windows my knees was knocking for you ,but as expected you done a great job Charlie sure done her bit well done both of you ,it looks great with all the windows in situ ,so now looking forward to the next part ,till then take care keep yourself safe,John 🇬🇧🤔🙏👍🌹👀🫣🤭🫢
brings back memories of when I got Viv-i-van and how big she looked after she was stripped down. I felt such triumph when I got the bulkhead off. The sense of space didnt last though and though she looks beautiful, viv-i-van seems small now and I wonder if I should have got a bigger van. I'll look forward to watching the progress. Regards and respect-Kenny
You've done a great job I would say, and a real worry if you get it wrong, when cutting such big panels out of the body work, so well done. The rest of the build should be a lot less stressful, although there is a lot to do alright.🤔🤔🤔👍👍👍
That takes some courage to cut into the van 😮 - you guys are more skilled than us but still fair play to you, we’ll done . This series is going to be very interesting . Best wishes Helen and Martin
Defo keep the ‘granny handle’ we do t have one and it’s like climbing Everest getting in the van 😂😂 You have also tempted me to have rear windows as Jade wanted them and I was torn but they look good and I do miss the morning views that we got in the Bongo ❤
Probably paint it tbh yellow is a bit bright for it! 😂read windows are a must for me although Stu didn’t really want them, then we saw a van without today and I said.. “yep glad we did it” if it’s what you want just go for it! Creates lots of light XxRR
I stumbled on your channel, ive subscribed i live in Northern Ireland moved over from Pembrokeshire. Cant wait for the videos transforming the van. Im sure the bulkhead is worth selling
Its too late to suggest masking up the van😉....all those bits of swarf that are getting in your eyes, are also melting into your paintwork and will rust later on. You will also get loads in the inner sill areas. I would suggest hoovering them out thoroughly once all the cutting is done. While the van is un insulated, it is worth melting out the foam in the inner sills (i have done a video on it on our channel). Have fun😄
Great vlog 👍 if you’re still going to the NEC can you take a look at the Wildax Altier it’s on a MAN and is all electric with a diesel heater no LPG! Cheers
Awesome! and it doesn't matter who did what bit, all skillz are needed and Amelia did a great job to! you are a great team and seeing the manbutt put his carpenter skills into action was great and you just know its going to work out just fine :)
Thanks for the report. You all made a brilliant job and Stu's talent is fantastic. It looks really impressive, already. Question unrelated for Stu: How on earth do you cope with the blanket 20mph speed limit, mate? It would drive me crazy. Looking forward to the next one. Dave in Torbay. 😉
Great video, you had me cringing though when cutting the metal, I know somebody who lost an eye to a fragment. Certainly looks a professional job. How come you don't release the video earlier in the day?
Love it! " Can I have a go luv" You were stuck for an answer at first!
😂😂😂
Team work makes the dream work 😊👍
You got that right! 😂 xx
Well done to you both

Hi I'm looking forward to this van build series. It would of been better to put the windows in with suction holders but fair play you've done it. I would advise to thoroughly test for water leaks before your next stage. 😃

Looks fantastic!! Welcome to the VW owners club. You should embrace the VW scene and come to some of the festivals with us. Keep up the good work
Thank you Peter, appreciate the offer may just do that. Charl had a very beetle back in the day and loved the events XxRR
@@TheRollingRucks We had Beetles too. I loved em.

Thank you for sharing Kenny, hey your van is fantastic as it is.. hope you enjoy the rest XxRR
Good job on the windows guys, it’s nerve wracking cutting holes, I admire your bravery, was bad enough when I did hole for Ariel cable lol
Thank you 😊 probably should have chosen one of the doors for the first cut but al worked out fine XxRR
@@TheRollingRucks tradesman mentality do the hardest first, looks great
Looking good guys! To say Hermes had it, it's a pretty clean base to start with🙂Can't wait to follow your progress 👍
We thought that too Kev, we all know how these cans get battered in the wrong hands XxRR
Could have been a owner driver financed by Hermes, lot's of delivery companies do it.
You've done a great job I would say, and a real worry if you get it wrong, when cutting such big panels out of the body work, so well done. The rest of the build should be a lot less stressful, although there is a lot to do alright.🤔🤔🤔👍👍👍
Thank you, it was very nerve wracking but al ended well thankfully, as you say the rest should be easier …. Hopefully! XxRR
Well done both of you, it's gonna be cracking 👌👌 xx
Thank you Tony, so kind of you to say xx
Love it!!!
Thank you XxRR
Looking good 😎
Can't wait till you reveal the new layout 😁. Great video as always you lovely lot 💜x

Cracking job nice one guys 👍
Thank you so much XxRR

Thank you for the advice, appreciate it. He did go and get goggles etc but if an after thought mind haha XxRR
Good to see you've started your build journey guys , I might be doing one myself so hope you don't mind me stealing your ideas 🙂
Fantastic hope your build goes smoothly XxRR
Come on dude, she needs a stannah stair lift to get up there 🤣🤣🤣
Haha
Great vlog as usual..good to see those croc safety shoes 😂😂
😂🤣😂
Great vlog 👍 if you’re still going to the NEC can you take a look at the Wildax Altier it’s on a MAN and is all electric with a diesel heater no LPG!
Cheers
Hi Steve that sounds right up our street so if we see it we will certainly take a good look around XxRR
OMG what are you two like? As much as I love Crocs, they're perhaps not the best thing to wear when doing a van build 🤣🤣
😂😂😂 true that is, first shoes i saw in the excitement haha XxRR
Nice one 👍 👌 👏 😀
Thank you XxRR
Aww man, get some eye protection on and gloves 😢
Thank you Michael, he was told… ha he still has that black tar on his hands XxRR
Safety Goggles ! with the angle grinder :-(
Looks great sofar guys.
Thank you Ronan XxRR
Looking forward to this build but could you please sort the music volume it’s waaaay louder than the video itself
Thank you for letting us know we will sort it for next time XxRR
Nice job guys. 😂😂😂😊😊
Thank you appreciate it XxRR
Looking great so far. I take it those windows won't open? Are you having roof vents?
Hello, he’s the side ones are opening ones xx
Awesome! and it doesn't matter who did what bit, all skillz are needed and Amelia did a great job to! you are a great team and seeing the manbutt put his carpenter skills into action was great and you just know its going to work out just fine :)
This is so lovely of you to say, he’s the skilled one so il just clean up after him and hold the camera a bit haha XxRR
Brilliant video guys and well done Stu #ManButt
Thank you XxRR
You are so fit
The man butt says thanks ☺️
You need ear defenders too xx
Thank you Sue XxRR
Thanks for the report. You all made a brilliant job and Stu's talent is fantastic. It looks really impressive, already. Question unrelated for Stu: How on earth do you cope with the blanket 20mph speed limit, mate? It would drive me crazy. Looking forward to the next one. Dave in Torbay. 😉
Thank you :-) XxRR
Great video, you had me cringing though when cutting the metal, I know somebody who lost an eye to a fragment. Certainly looks a professional job.
How come you don't release the video earlier in the day?
Oh fish that’s horrible he did get them
On after mind!
We tried that didn’t make much difference? So we stick with our usual time XxRR
Great start guys, is that a week of the 5 week build gone. It's going to be tight😀
Haha you are right especially with all the rain we’ve been having! XxRR
Get an electric step.... Thule is the one on my Moho. 😉
Eye shields and ear defenders guys....stay safe!!
Great idea Albert! May look into that XxRR
