Well just binge watched all of your van build vids this afternoon and loved it. Many similar instances of me and my Mrs working together like you guys aswell as the odd mishap from me!! We will be in the same boat as you at the end of the summer as we currently have a Transporter but have a few trips booked till then, so will hopefully get our Crafter/Man at some point later in the year. I look forward to watching you guys complete your build and take away some great tips and ideas. Keep up the good work!
Number 1...don't buy a black (dark colour) van, you will fry in it, only white or silver. The main reason is you only have the vehicle to worry about. I spent £3k on mine £1k in bits and 8 years on it is worth £6k+. Your other comments are spot on..
OK. New subscriber here. I'm interested in a 4x4 self build. Was it easy to find the 4motion? Very interested in a price breakdown as you progress, & as much detail & your reasons for doing things as you progress. Good luck.
🙏👍. No it was a nightmare to find the van we found it on a random website not auto trader and thought the price was plus vat which was out of our budget but it wasn’t. It was an ex demo van from VW in London. One very hung over drive down to look at it and we even managed to get a few grand off. We actually bought it last year and it was at the limit of what we could afford so that’s why we only started the build this year. We have documented most prices on our videos so far at the end but I will do a running count at some point. Hope it’s helpful. 👍
