Ford Transit Custom DIY Van Conversion - 12 days from start to finish - budget £4K

A super fast 2022 Ford Transit Custom van conversion. All items used in description below. Solo build by Bilco (apart from me passing things, sticking things and making snacks!) no drama (some swearing - omitted), no dialogue, no tutorial just watch the build unfold. There’s a few geeky bespoke thematic touches. See if you can spot them.

Why? As with a bike, with a van you realise you have more choices. More places to visit, people to meet, adventures to have. And that is the existential way. Live long and prosper.

Now the detail! Total cost under 4K including new Goodrich tyres.
