  • In this weeks video your see how my handy work transforms a rotten VW LT 35 into a camper.. well it’s the start anyway!

The rest of the build videos will be uploaded to my brand new channel called ( The Bearded Restorer ) I will make an announcement when the new channel goes live so stay tuned for that! Hope you enjoy this weeks video 🙂

    Colin, that was absolutely incredible! I'll never do anything like this myself but - for some reason - I found myself transfixed by your efforts here! Isn't it just great to see a sad, neglected old thing like this brought back to life ..... and a good life at that!!

    I'd think twice about the wooden decking on the roof, I've recently stripped a decking roof rack of a badly converted Transit Mk7 I bought recently, it's made the drive so much nicer without all that weight on the top.
