Lots of people asking where i got my mattress from www.latexsense.co.uk/
I'm exhausted watching this!!! Not only did you pull off an epic mod' - you produced an informative and entertaining video too! Excellent job 😊
Awww thank you 🙏
If you keep the dodo mat window cut outs you could stick a thin piece of hardboard to them and use as window thermal blinds!
Oh crap I’m gutted I didn’t think about that that’s a great idea thank you 🙏 👍🤓👍
As an ex windscreen fitter the best way to cheesewire a window out is one handle outside and one inside. Cut hundreds of screens out using that method 👌🏽👍🏼
Great tip!
Brilliant Video Mel
Looks great Mel 👍
Well done Mel. Something I would not attempt. But now I know a man who can
Thank you 🙏
Just watched this all the way Mel and thank you!! Now looking for flares on the net for Bolt.
Quite pleased the window was a nightmare to remove. Gives me confidence that some nasty oik with evil intent might also give up.
I was thinking exactly the same.
What a great job you done Mel.
That was a great vlog
Be safe 👍
part two nailed 🎉🎉
Fish filleting knife , I’ve saw it on another channel, worked a treat
Good upgrade Mel all adds to the value for when you come to sell ready for your bigger van
That’s right 👍🍻👍
I'm so glad you found a use for our John..? His wife said he was useless.. I believed her..?? Vans looking good bud
Haha thanks buddy
Looks good cork experiment will be interesting
We used to use a multi tool with a knife, fiein tool, it had many different blades.
Another good job out the way & well done as always Mel.Totaly unrecognisable from when you first purchased her a year or two ago. 👍
Cracking job Mel..😎
10.40 "... Just hold it while i get the strap-on..." pmsl.
Well done, Sir. Great job
Hi Mel now you’ve raised the mattress I hope pillows don’t touch the window if it was to condensate …..
Good work. It was a lot of work, but I am satisfied with it. Nice upgrade! ありがとう！
WOW , looks like I'm going to need flares if I do another van build , but to be honest I'm sorely tempted by luton bodies and ex-horseboxes as I've got an HGV class 1 licence , hmmmmmmm
Be careful of the box trucks they are made of ply wood and can get rotten
I spent years on the road, in the 80's, owned long walk thru 5tonne vans, lots of different 7-12 tonne box wagons and a 1963 Guernsey bus. One of the 12tonne used to carry pumas and pythons for Chipperfield circus. Lots of space, great fitting out, exciting times.
good job well done. Nuff said.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 bessy regs-Kenny
I think if you get the roller mechanism that goes in the sliding door trak off the lwb it gives a bit more clearance between the door and the flair panel
Thank you 😊
Nice one ☝️
Glass removing tool...thats a cheese block cutter😂.
Lubricate the seal and wire, works much better
With what? Like wd40 or? Cheers in advance 👍
You should of layed the panel flat on ground such as grass on top of old bedding/sheeting & tried cutting it flat kneeling on it. Poke cable through edge of glass lubricating cable with glass cleaner. Then pull cable back & forth.
You got there in end. It's hard work & knackering with wire cutter.
Look amazing bud job well spent 😊 definitely worth it ❤❤
Thank you buddy 👍
@@BigVanSmallWorld ☺️
Smooth editing at the end Mel. Though you was getting your head down 😴
Great job mate
I have a 2013 ford transit,and can not find pods for the early models.
Thanks buddy hope you find some it makes a big difference 👍
Well done, at 6'2" I think I may just look into that myself. Now all you have to do is keep the van and not go looking for another project😂😂
Might be time to buy another jigsaw save removing the foot each time!😂
Hi Mel love your vlogs,very helpful n educating.Can I ask if you know where I can get a small window fitted at rear of my van,I've got the window and materials to fit it,but have no faith in fitting it myself.I'm in Barnsley and will travel to get it fitted.Hope you can help.kind regards Steve.

Use the spike to poke a hole from inside to outside poke wire in put handles on and saw away and it's almost effortless. ua-cam.com/video/c7IPHsSO6xA/v-deo.html
Hi Mel, a big fan of yours and been inspired by your builds, I saw you have same ring dc to dc charger and was wondering if you had an issue with the charger making loud buzzing noise while driving as it happened to while away the weekend, I ended up disconnecting it as I was concerned what was happening, any advice would be most welcome
Gotta use lube Mel, glass cleaner is pretty good.
Nicely done. I bet your next van is going to be wider?
Good one Mel BUT Are the Windows Really Worth The Hassle ..
Yes 👍
Hi what did you use to bond glass to fibreglass flare norm bonding kit?
Correct 👍
Hi Mel unless you want room in your bed for two people why don't you sleep diagonally across the bed and save all that hassle with the flares lol
I want room for 3 lol 😂
I would just buy a new window!? 😊
How about condensation running onto your pillow and bed mal 😢
Hi Mel, i have asked this before in a previous video but got no response or reply: where did you get the mattress from and can it be cut to size or shaped for a unusual shaped bed ?
I also would like to know what mattress he got
@leewatson7822 makes you wonder why he even bothers to have the comments turned on, he obviously can't be bothered to read them
Where did you get ur hoover .?
Amazon
What a palava
Why don’t you use a multi tool
Hot soapy water and a butter knife ..😂🤣😂..does look good tho mate ..jolly good carryon pip pips ...😍😎😁
Oh my goodness me why’d I not think of that 🤣😂🤣👍
your pillow is going to get wet from condensation on the window
I’m literally yelling at this video
You could have so easily slipped and cut you face
You’d have have been far easier to do this when in the van as there so much more resistance
Your dragging the wire across a huge surface area and your right it’ll snap
Piece a small hole through the mastic and you’ll reduce the surface area to the bead thickness ( maybe 5 mm ) you’ll have that cut in a min and be so much safer
Turn music off carnt ear you
I’m sorry it was louder than usual for some odd reason
Why did you put your music on towards the end. I couldn't hear you at all. Im hard of hearing. Please consider people like me. I would appreciate it.
Otherwise. Brill
it was an editing mistake...
I’m really sorry for some reason the music was louder than usual
