Will you replace the front seats with swiveling ones? Any drivetrain plans to improve off road capabilities?

Nice cad layout and fun project. Looking forward to following this too!

exactly, that will make a little galley

no, that's fine for now, but the steel sheets will need some cushioning for noise insulation

[doubletee]

Can’t wait to see things progress.

a bit like this

My ex-next door neighbour had a side hustle converting vans like this. He always made sure to leave the rear wheels on the vans.

</sarcastic asshole>

Seriously, best with the project, look forward to your posts.

[goosehd]

@EdH I was going to do it, had so many responses typed up, but couldn’t pull the trigger. Love and respect!!

new draft, but also no rear wheels

[SKT]

@endo front wheel drive all the way…just put some casters on the rear end

@endo FWD means: front wheel drive in your van

good luck with the project @endo

I once had a 3D scanning project where I digitized a Sprinter for a friend of mine to produce cnc milled made to measure furniture …
Man am i happy i only had to do the scanning part. electricity and plumbing are not my thing haha

(yup that’s me in the IH cargos)

Works on this are progressing slowly, too many side projects, and despite the fact that the first tour is planned in a month.

But today I took the chance to open up the covering of the two front doors to put in a prick stop (not what you think, but a piece of metal to make it less easy to break into the car. Also put Alubutyl in the doors to reduce vibration noises, and prepared the speakers to be exchanged for better ones. Who needs a bed in a van if you got a decent sound system?

Prick Stop sounds exactly like the right name for its function.

[endo]

stops pricks from pricking into your car

[Giles]

As opposed to cock blocking......

[goosehd]

@Giles Thats what happens when you knock on the door when you see the van rocking.

[Giles]

Which in my case would obviously be for less than 3 seconds.......

put in the first window, shit part was to prepare the wooden frame, rest was ok

just a really weird moment when you drill the first hole into the car

but in the end all worked fine
