Mtb/surf/camp van build
Thought I would start a build thread as I’m starting to make some progress with the van. Picked it up a couple weeks ago and it’s pretty much a builders van .
In an effort to make it look a bit less White vanish, (on a budget at the moment with a house move looming) got a couple decals.
Quite like em but not 100% so might get rid eventually
Also managed to rip out the ply, put down some sound proofing and cover some of the original panels in a bit of carpet I got of Facebook for a tenner.
I’m pretty please with how it looks, will be carpeting the whole lot eventually and Still got to make a couple of panels for the tops of the sliding doors

Re: Mtb/surf/camp van build
Started building a unit in the back to store stuff. The bed will go right up to the wheel arch so trying to make the most of the space.
Started to do a bit of insulation at the same time, hopefully get s chance to finish it off next weekend

The unit is looking like a nice tidy start.

Looking good so far.. Great alternative racking to the usual..
quick question.. How are the carpeted panels mounted? Pics would be good.

Re: Mtb/surf/camp van build
Cheers,I think it should turn ok.
If you look at the first pic I have put some pieces of ply up under the edges of the panel lip. Secured it with some no more nails to stop it shaking lose and screwed panels to that, had held up pretty well so far

Re: Mtb/surf/camp van build
Got my prototype shelves built, think they look pretty great. I will eventually add some doors them and either cover in something or remake the panels out of vaneered mdf

Finished wiring up my s-line SEATS, decided to go the standalone route and just put some switches in the centre console. Also fitted some eBay special reversing sensors.

Re: Mtb/surf/camp van build
Did you just use an aftermarket kit with the original heat pads for your heated seats or have you fit the full aftermarket kit?
