Well where to start . We got the van 2 years ago after my hubby nagging me for years his brother in law had one for year. We had a lovely folding camper i was 8 months pregnant when i gave in to the nagging and thought it was a good idea to keep him busy. So we sold the camper to fund the T4 took us a few months to find the one. We wasn't scared of any work that needed dong as hubby is good at mechanics on these older engines. The only agreement was that it had to be completely different to any other T4and built not bought . When looking i seen a van with a zip and fell in love with the idea lol. But when hubby brought the van home i could of killed him sold as a none runner half TDI conversion half of the front end in the back. Lucky for hubby it only took him just under an hr to get it running.
After getting the engine running ok next was paint wheels and windows. Brother in law is a painter so helped with all the big parts. Sorry didn't get a lot of pics. Oh forgot to add we put plastic drain pipes on too lol. From the moment on i was it love and hooked lol We had just had our little girl and i could finally drive it as couldn't before as couldn't reach the pedals with my big bump. We sold our car and it became both our everyday vehicle

Next was the inside carpet and installation we chose to do it 2 tone
Next was lighting and cupboards. We couldn't make our minds so paint the cupboards a few different ways till we made our minds up and leatherette the lot. And we got a r&r bed that needed covering. We had to put a cook in as need to make bottles in the van. Had a go at upholstering the bed haven't used a sewing machine since school lol. The work top is from a side of a broken wardrobe.
We made a table but didn't like it.
We used this cart for my daughter pushchair and was used as her bed used to put a mattress in there at the bottom of the r&r bed.
Looks different now.
To be continued .........
