My build 2013 highline - soon to be camper/mtb bus

Post by Lewisgregory8 »

After a while of searching I came across this van this week, swb 1.6tdi grey highline, it was a right bargain. It was owned by a oldish guy, I believe. And has been well looked after, only 26000 miles on the clock. Radio 2 was the only station tuned into the radio

Plan is to turn it into a camper/ bike van

I've already ordered a fuse box and split charge kit, sockets and lighting.

Mounted the fuse box, left the wires long as I'm not sure if I'm taking the bulkhead out yet

Image

Led strip light with built in switch, and removed half of the bulkhead

I asked advice on here.

I toke the battery out, at the back of the battery tray there is a rubber gromit with other cables running through, managed to poke it through there. It only toke me around 5 mins
