    Hello, I'm starting to follow your project and it's really cool, I wish you the best of luck from Brazil 🇧🇷 on your adventure. I liked that the Vw Up offered in Europe is a little different from what was sold in Brazil

      Can you describe some things that are different on our VW Ups in Europe?

      Hello! Really appreciate your journey with the Up!
      The brazilian made VW Up! It's a few centimeters longer to fit a slightly bigger fuel tank and trunk with a traditional metal door (not full glass). The rear windows also roll down like in other cars.
      This changes were made to make the Up! a bit more travel friendly, since brazilians travel long distances even if they have a small city car and often carry people in the back.
      It's noticeable when you use the car but hard to tell from pictures. Still the same car in terms of platform, powertrain, interior and exterior design.

    Awesome video! Just out of curiosity, was there any reason to why you did not remove the back seats for some extra room?

    • @ZoefontheMove
      @ZoefontheMove  15 днів тому +1

      Because I wanted it to be able to quickly convert it back to normal car. The front seat is only 4 bolts.
      And another thing I took into consideration, was when you remove the rear seatsa few times and put it back, it is going to rattle over time. My car is completely silent inside on uneven roads 😅
      But I must say, I did expect to have more space. Read: less stuff with me.
      I was a bit over-prepared 😬

    Hey Bro, really nice micro camper conversion. I am currently working on my Octavia conversion and I am still looking for a proper mattress to roll up or fold tight. What model did you use?

    man that was super cool. Maybe a bit of an unrelated question, but are you happy with the quality of the tools you used? I noticed they are the Parkside brand, which is also sold in Lidl with relatively good prices, and I have been wondering if they hold up well for projects like yours

    • @ZoefontheMove
      @ZoefontheMove  6 днів тому

      Hola! Interesting question! To be honest, they are sufficient for something like this. But if I were to do a van conversion sometime in the future, I would buy something more decent (and accurate).

    If I may ask: how wide is the matras?
    My mazda has only 60 cm between the drivers seat and the passenger door, while mattresses usually start with a width of 80cm?

      I can't find exactly mine, but it was this size.

      Yes. But you can easily reset the airbag light with an OBD2 dongle, after placing the seat back.
