Hi everyone,
The misses and I had our first kid in July, so we obviously thought this is the best time do convert a T4 Panel Van into a T4 Camper!
Never had a van before, but thought T4 would be an obvious choice on our budget, so we went and found this:
1.9 TD 800 Special, registered 1999.
We both wanted to get something clean and something that we could do ourselves from scratch, so this looked ideal.
Here's a few more pics:
And one of the family when I got it back to my parents.
First things first:
Strip it
Clean it
Remove Bulkhead
Clean-up any rust
Top half of the bulkhead came out first, and the mat was removed:
Very grimy and lots of orange. There was a lot of concrete, brick, screws, anything you can think of under here really. So as the surface gets damaged, moisture gets trapped by the mat, it's going to corrode a bit.
Hoover and a scrub later:
(Just started to tackle the bottom half of the bulkhead)
