    Fly Fishing

    i have just recently gotten into fishing, now i cant stop going. Dont have many friends who fish so its often wading up tiny creeks solo. But its a good excuse to get out. But dont judge me, i fish for trout on a spinner.

    Its like a mini gutter which i screwed onto the pop top. I was shitting my pants about drilling into my fibreglass waterproof 26 year old roof. But these vans are needed to be used and abused. so the project begins. i got some gutter mount roof racks and checked if they would work.

    Well i need more storage. So roof racks and a pod are my options. But i have a pop top. Not being able to put the roof racks on the usual "gutter mount" isnt going to work as the pop top is in the way. So a friend of mine made me these.

    1990 VW T3 TRANSPORTER.

    Due to no roof racks sometimes awnings can be a little tricky. Had to buy these brackets. They work so damn well! Nothing beats the adventures you can have when u get out in nature. Had to fix the shitty side materiel. A gluey messy process. But turned out pretty good. The latest addition...

    Hated this grey Cabinet. Found some wood in a bin at work and got back to the work shed. Done. Much better. Limited cupboard space is the killer. So thought this was a bit too much wasted space. Had left over free wood still and got building. Much better.

    Then the first fun part. So much fun with friends. Outdoor screen for a movie , round the fire , talking shit. Perfect. A nice spot just outside Melbourne, Australia. Seemed to attract more van people.

    On the drive home she began to blow a bit of smoke..... Then almost bushfire amounts of smoke. Filling up the entire freeway amounts of smoke. So like most people who own these vans. Like a right of passage. This happened. Theowner before me had put almost 6.5 litres of oil in when it should...

    Howdy from Australia. Not many vans on here, but i thought id show what ive done to mine. Im by no means a mechanic at all or very Tool minded whatsoever. So keep that in mind haha. I owned vans in the past then saw this and decided to jump right in. It was a bit rough inside, but it was...
