Earlier this winter I bought an old VW T4 Transporter as I needed a bigger and better car. I was lucky to find a T4 locally which was in quite good condition. I wanted a van I could use for my expeditions and for going on markets etc with so I began looking at "minicamper" solutions on the internet. There was lots of inspiration to be found and soon I had an idea how I wanted to do it. First task was to strip down all the walls etc , clean it and go over it and take care of any rust. Next I covered walls and floor with some insulation, mostly to soundproof it a bit. At the local plank shop I got material for the floor and walls and both the paint - and hardware shop was frequently visited to pick out vinyl for the floor, paint, screws etc.
It took me and my girlfriend a couple of weeks cutting, painting and mounting it all and yesterday the last screw was attached and the HobbyHistorica logo could be slapped on to the sides of the van.
Having very little experience in carpentry and interior building I am fairly proud of the result and cant wait taking it out on a roadtrip. Hope you like it :)
