This is going to be great! I'm glad you're showing us the renovation parts.
Thanks for showing how to take the rear seats out in detail, I’m planning to convert a 2006 model and that was really useful :D
Whoohoo! Both scary and exciting watching that demo! Forward to a blank canvas on which you can create your own custom camper. Fun to watch!
Makes me happy to be able to share it all with you!! xo
Hi see you with Elgrand
We just bought one too
In palmy
Her freckles are super cute!!
Back watching
Getting ready for Christmas in palmy
This is great, Mari. Keep doing your thing.
Cheers Zak!
Loved this, can't wait to see what you do with the van! Those two sun roofs are going to be amaaaazing for star gazing!
Hi Mari..I really love ur style and video..I always watching ur video especially about traveling on the world!!
Aw thank you!
Brings back a rush of memories^^
Love that you're embracing NZ life😀Go van life! 🤗 Nick's got that kiwi ingenuity vibe 😂😂
Woo! yep, he does!
Ave Pi top Idea to team up w a Kiwi boi,handy!
Mike Berg We're nice people us Kiwis 😂
notification squad!
Hi Mari... you guys are ripping it to it's bare bones good. Have you seen tips from UA-cam on how to convert the van? Good luck I bet the van will look better than when you got it! 👍
You better believe I've been watching tips on youtube! haha 😜 Cheers!
Yo Mari! I said I'd buy you a beer if you ever came to Scotland (which of course still stands) but I'm heading to NZ next month so may have to buy you one there too! Happy renovating guys 🤗
After seeing many videos of van converting whiz kids it's nice to see regular people struggling like the 99%...
That sunroof is amazing!! "Shit just got real".. Mari is using a hacksaw! We can't wait to see what happens next
haha danger!! Yeah me neither! 😜
I recognise where you are, I walk down that street daily!
Henry you should meet up with her, she's always up for meeting her viewers
So few people do this. Are you happy with the extra space?
now i realise this is an older video, but im hoping you might remember, im trying to find the best way to remove the door panel on the sliding doors (youtube isnt helping much) i need to replace door actuator, have you got any tips?
Any tips on getting the rail sliders out ??????
Done it myself on my 1999 e50 series. Unless the e51 is radically different just unscrew covers off each end then unbolt. From memory there are side bolts then the ones into the body to take out. Metric.
Wow, you guys are doing it all by yourself? Looks like a lot of work but I am sure it will be all worth it.
Guys I like that you dress the same xD !! Great van big possibilities can wait to see the rest!! Good luck!!
Thanks Celine! :)
Can you point me in the direction of the next van update video? Looking at doing the same here in the UK
Bruh, knew Nick was from New Zealand straight away.
When Nick talks fast I can't understand what he is saying >< lol I can't wait to see how the van turns out!!!
one day I'll get around to putting up subtitles! :)
Sorry I'm a day late lol.. I was in the LA area, but I'm excited to see the van come in progress, but look who's opening up a little lol... it looks like nicks is coming out of shell a little lol... he's getting use to that vlogging life lol 👍
Way to go, y'all! I'm really excited for you! It's gonna be an awesome adventure! :)
Yeah! And I can't wait until it's done and we can go on adventures in it! :)
You must have thrown away so many years of filth in all those plush seats and carpet, keep on pimping that ride xzibit!
15 years worth! haha I'll admit I thought about that show one or twice ;)
Intéressant
I buyed a Nissan elgrand 2001 and I couldn't get the seats out. But now I got it thanks to this video, so thankyou for that! I wanna make my car also self contained but it looks more compilated then I thought. I was really happy wen I saw youre video because I tough it would put me thru the proces. But wen I was looking for the rest of it, I saw the van is for sale.... Is it because it was to difficult to do? I'm really considering now to sell my car also :')
Happy to help you with the seats! Nope, not for sale, we still have it and use it often!
Are you free to do what you want with the van conversion or do you need to follow some rules and inspections ?
We're free to do what we want, which is really nice!
ALWAYS REMEMBER,,,,,,,LESS IS MORE.
Im gutted. Sat here watching u dump parts i could use on my e50😢
I’m sorry! If I could do it over I would have tried to give away the parts to be reused. I don’t know why we didn’t do that. Hindsight eh
@Mari Johnson
😁....what is the current state affairs with it?? .....mine is a 1998 and just done 50k miles. Like new. !...apart from the bits of trim that are missing!....in fact i will sub and see if theres is any more to the story
Have a look on pinterest for ideas 😁
That's one of my favorite pastimes 😜
Get a dog once you have the van all setup.
I remove all my seat except the driver😐I weigh the unwanted seats💺💺💺💺🙄almost 300 kg of sofa, couch, lazy-boy, therapist chair whatever🇳🇿👌
Why you break so beautiful elgrand
Brings back a rush of memories^^
