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 mine and a brand new adventure mobile!!!

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 only hold around 4. Thats what my mechanic drained out of it. Anyway.... Back to the build.
Pulled the inside out to rip the shitty carpet out.

To my suprose the floor was in good nick. Replaced carpet with Lino wood slats.
Outdoor inner city workarea.

Done.
Add the new Table hole and she looking better already.

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.

That's freaking awesome!!! Did you use vinyl planks for the floor?

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.

Yup. The back just peels off, cleaned the wood up and stuck em straight on.

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 is this black water tank. Fits perfect in my above canopy storage area. Its resting on thick sponge to spread the weight out. It heats up real quick in the Australian summer, then i have a 12volt shower attachment. So its warm showers in the evening when i camp.

Tripping me out seeing the doors and camp setup on the other side..
And 'Black water tank' over here means something totally different - and not what you would want right above your head!
