    Thanks for showing how to take the rear seats out in detail, I’m planning to convert a 2006 model and that was really useful :D

    Whoohoo! Both scary and exciting watching that demo! Forward to a blank canvas on which you can create your own custom camper. Fun to watch!

    • @AdrianHepburn-vz9yr
      @AdrianHepburn-vz9yr 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Done it myself on my 1999 e50 series. Unless the e51 is radically different just unscrew covers off each end then unbolt. From memory there are side bolts then the ones into the body to take out. Metric.

    I buyed a Nissan elgrand 2001 and I couldn't get the seats out. But now I got it thanks to this video, so thankyou for that! I wanna make my car also self contained but it looks more compilated then I thought. I was really happy wen I saw youre video because I tough it would put me thru the proces. But wen I was looking for the rest of it, I saw the van is for sale.... Is it because it was to difficult to do? I'm really considering now to sell my car also :')

    • @mari.johnson
      @mari.johnson  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      @mari.johnson  ปีที่แล้ว

      I’m sorry! If I could do it over I would have tried to give away the parts to be reused. I don’t know why we didn’t do that. Hindsight eh

    Are you free to do what you want with the van conversion or do you need to follow some rules and inspections ?
