VW T4 camper conversion - How much has it cost so far ? - VANLIFE UK

Today's van life UK travel adventure covers the conversion of my 2001 Volkswagen Transporter T4 called "Spencer".
If you want to know why I have this van and why I'm converting it to a campervan then please watch my "why 3 vans" video.
• Why do I have 3 VW cam...
Today I run through some of the work I've done so far and how much I have spent.
It's worth noting that I haven't done all the work as I had the floor installed by a local conversion company. They also carpeted my walls and ceiling. I also had a company fit my windows as the van was originally a panel van.
I did everything else.
So, here is a list of what I bought, along with prices just in case you fancy doing a conversion of your own.
Dodomat sound proofing £49.99 (x2)
3m van carpet with 3 cans of contact adhesive £28.89
Aluminium foil tape £7.99 (x3)
Silent coat sound deadening (20 pack) £39.56
Silent coat sound deadening (40 pack) £74.65 (x2)
Knauf Insulation £39.92
Super foil insulation £30.00
all of the above was purchased through Amazon
Windows (second hand) £180
window fitting £120
It cost me around £500 to have the floor fitted and then covered in lino.
I went for Altro flooring is it's really hard wearing.
( I wish I had gone for this in my other T4) They also covered my wall and ceiling panels in light grey carpet.
Seats, door cards and windows came from:

If you need second hand bits for your transporter then these are the guys to see !
Centre console came from

Stainless steel exhaust came from:

What would you do differently?
Do you have any advice for me going forward or maybe you are doing a conversion and want
some advice from me.
Either way, I do love it when I get some comments.
So there you have it. This van (Spencer) is still a work in progress.
Thank you so much for watching !!

It looking good and all so far at a reasonable price. At my age a porta potty would be high on the priority list 😉. Catching up with your videos; keep up the good work sir.
