 You can see it's in a pretty bad state here. Hi, I'm Lavi and this is Oli. Over the past four years we have been on some epic adventures around the world. Now, after converting an old van into our new home on wheels, we are ready to hit the road and explore the wonders of Europe. Click the subscribe button to follow our journey and let the adventure begin! Good morning! Good morning, good morning! Yesterday we did some really good work with the van. We managed to build a whole bed frame and it is pretty sturdy and that is absolutely awesome. I wasn't sure it was our first major construction we've ever done in our life, so we weren't sure if we were going to make it work. But yeah, using all these L brackets we managed to fix most things together and then underneath you can see there's some there's a T-bracket. Did you fit yourself? But underneath you can see there's also a T-bracket here to hold this together. Yeah, it's pretty sturdy construction I would say. Yeah, hopefully we can try it out later when it's finished. Yeah, so the plan for today, we have to deal with this. Yeah, it's nothing structural but yeah, we've got a bit of a hole in this in this back hatch, a bit of a rust hole. So we've got a three-part method for dealing with this, which we only found out yesterday. So the first thing we have to do is put this stuff on it, which is hammer-ite and it converts rust into a stable surface in just 15 minutes. So that's when we hopefully all be stable in 15 minutes. I have no idea what that's going to do. And then next thing you do is you fill it with as much of this as possible. So it's just a repair body filler. And then third, we put some paint on it so that will help to prevent the rust from coming back. So as you can see, if I lift this up, you can see it's in a pretty bad state here. So we have to wire brush that and treat it and fill it, paint it, and we'll see how we get on. So this is our first task for today. Wish us luck. Shake, shake well. So it says pour the required amount into the container, brush up ply to the rustic area, working well into the pitted areas. I just put... Yeah, just start with that, just don't touch it on your hands I guess. It doesn't say actually. Okay, let's see here. So I guess just like this? Yeah, exactly. Ensure all exposed rust is treated. Watch as it turns blue, black while reacting with the rust. Okay. I think it's okay now. Yeah, that's step one done. So we just wait for that to dry. Or do whatever it's supposed to do. And then we can put our filler on. So on today's I know nothing about DIY. I've traced a line which matches the side of the van. I saw this online with a CD, but we couldn't use a CD, so I made this thing. And so basically what I've done is I've just held it like this and I've traced the line of the side of the van with the ruler in the pencil. And now the point is hopefully if we then put this line on our board over there, which you can see on the ground. If we trace this line onto that board, we should be able to cut that out. And then hopefully when we lay the board in, it fits nice and snugly up against the edge of the van. But will it work? Who knows? We'll have to give it a go. Amazing. Look at this. This is so solid after the rust treatment and after the filler and then after the paint, the metal paint on top. It's now an amazing surface. And let me just lift this up so you can see the other side. So on the outside, what was once a massive hole is now completely filled. No more air coming inside or water coming inside the van. That is amazing. Okay. So the doors of our van are totally broken. So we purchased this Melenko. The idea is that we central lock all the doors. We unlock the sliding door, come outside and then fit this. It's got a stick on the door and then you've got these two pieces like this and like this. So I've got a drill holes, four holes in the bodywork. I have to screw in some self-tapping screws into here and then fit the lock together. So let's give it a go. Not exactly. I just broke the bloody bit. I just realized that. Okay. So we've broken the bit. So the holes are drilled. See, that's the lock like that. And that's it. That's the Melenko door lock. Part of the build, the final day. We've been doing a bit of stuff here, patching all kinds of stuff. And we've been preparing the mattress and getting everything ready, getting the curtains ready. So we're finally to the most beautiful and exciting moment. We are going to finally put everything in the van and get it all sorted. So the first step is to screw the boards down and then we can basically load all the stuff in. So let's get going. I had to do it because... Great with the sewing machine. So she made us like a very nice construction. Let's see if it works. It's custom built, custom built. Okay, next step, I think, curtains. On one of the rooms in our house and we just stole it. Exactly. It was hanging there anyway for 20 years already. So we thought it would be time for something new in the house and something new for our van. We bought this rail online on Amazon. Just twist. Bed and all. It's 190 centimetre long bed and at this point is 135 centimetres. Exactly the specifications of a double. It only narrows towards the end. So we actually nearly nearly get a double bed in here. So that concludes our van build. This is the finished result and I absolutely love it. With our limited skills. Very, very limited skills. No skills at all. I'm really happy with what we've managed to create here. I mean this is much better than I ever expected it could be. Exactly. Hopefully it will take us through whole Europe. Yeah, this is ready for an adventure. Definitely. Definitely. I'm very excited about that. Let's go for a drive. You would help us a lot by subscribing to the channel by clicking here.
