Looking forward to following this thread and your travel photography page on Instagram. I had a ‘77 Westfalia in the 90’s … good memories. Someone said to me when I bought it “you didn’t buy a vehicle, you bought a hobby.” Pretty accurate in my case. My wife drives a ‘90 Volvo 240 wagon that seems to be turning more and more into a hobby lately.

I don’t see too many Peugeots here on the west coast of Canada, but have always admired them. That’s a nice space to work with and can’t wait to see how it comes along. Happy creations!

@endo I look forward to seeing how this renovation unfolds! I spent a lot of my childhood in a camper up and down the UK and France, so this warms my heart
Thanks for sharing the journey!

thanks @Denman-John, ‘77 Westfalia and '90 Volvo 240 wagon are both cars I admire. The good thing about the Peugeot Boxer, it's the same car as the Fiat Ducato, the Citroen Jumper and the Opel Movano, the most built transporter in Europe for the last 20 years. So, you basically get everything for it and garages all over Europe are familiar with it.

@endo that is a champ move, well done!
I was about to ask ‘why a Peugeot’ cause I didn’t know about them but you just answered that one.
165 hp sounds aplenty…guessing it must be quite more powerful that your past VWs?

Very much looking forward to following this thread

Looks like a lot of fun! Can't wait to see how it turns out.

it is, but it will also be much heavier when furnished

[sabergirl]

Oooh what a cool project to follow along with. Can’t wait to see what you get up to with it ️

[Giles]

Great. Looking forward to following.....

[louisbosco]

nice. what are the plans/ ideas floating in your head?

[endo]

It'll be a long way. First windows and roof hatches, then insulation, then electricity and water, finally furniture, kitchen, bathroom.

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.
