This week we start the finishing touches in the cab to include our first foray into 4-way stretch carpet in our van build. This stuff is unusual to work with but strangely satisfying. We also have been getting some new equipment for the cab; including a subwoofer and amplifier that we were never supposed to have. When will we learn!
We wanted to thank you all for watching; new viewers and our amazing subscribers that keep coming back each week. We know we are a little slower than most other #vanbuild vlogs out there but we are literally doing this on the weekend in and amongst other stuff (like life and such).
If you are new here we just wanted to say we post every week and would love you along for the journey. So please do subscribe. We also like to reply to every comment when we can - and love hearing from you all. 🚐🚐🚐

A little more about us and our #selfbuildcamper
We are converting our 2003 Mercedes Vario minibus in our spare time. We are complete novices and learning as we go. Who knew building a van could be so much fun. We really need all the help we can get but just love sharing our progress, learnings, struggles and little wins. It’s amazing how a #diycamper can take so much time.
