    *Have you ever considered converting your own van* or bus to use for travel or living?? If you did, have you finished, *are you enjoying the process* , what are you working with? *Share your thoughts and experiences with us* , nothing helps us through the tough days more than having a laugh or remembering theres a whole bunch of people out there feeling the same!
    Oh and did you have a few hidden gems, just like us???

    Looking like you making a good start. Might be a big job but its one step closer to being done everyday you do some work on it.

      That's it! Some days definitely feel harder than others, the summer heat makes days feel long and unprogressive at times, but when it's all said and done and tools go down, it's very satisfying to know we're one step closer 💙 Hows your progression going with the injuries? Any closer to getting back out there?

      There is so much footage to go through and I think some of it (funny but no real purpose) might just get dumped on TikTok, this whole process has us either laughing or crying 💙 Hows the new year treating you guys? Getting out to some beautiful parks we hope 😉???

    Unreal work man, any chance we can bring our coaster to your shed so my partner and I can start working on our rust issue!? 😂
    We have rust in pretty much the exact same spots as yours had, except no where undercover to begin working on it!!
    P.s watched all yah videos, love the transformation 👌🏾🤙🏾
    Cheers 🍻

      Sure, why not 😂 (jokes)
      Man, if we had access to the shed still, we’d actually love to get our hands dirty but unfortunately we don’t. We were fortunate that our brother had this shed somewhat free for us to use during this part of the restoration. It really made all the difference. We nearly attempted to start without the shed but it would’ve been extremely difficult.
      Mate, work your magic, talk to anyone that’ll listen, put yourself out there, you never know who might have an empty old shed or someone genuinely interested in seeing your project unfold that might make room for you for a few months! Most of our projects would never have happened if we hadn’t been talking to people about our ideas.
      Much sure to DM on IG so we can answer any questions you might have, or even just be a sound board, trust us, there will be some testing times that are totally worth it once you roll out onto the wide open road! Plus we’d love to be able to follow along on your build journey ✌🏻
      Ps thanks for watching our vids, it’s always nice to know when they resonate with others and hopefully help build the confidence to give it a go!

      That’s awesome, these old gals sure show up many of the young bucks out on the road 😅 Have fun with the build it’s always great to look back on your handy work.
      We are getting organised to start filming again and share our first year on the road in the bus. Plenty of highs and lows, lol, but wouldn’t have it any other way!
      And YES, definitely yell out if you see us on the road… we may be planning to head from Melb to Perth over the summer 😜
