I’m 70 and have been trying to find the perfect explanation for over 100’s of videos I have watched. The details are extremely helpful. Now to find the perfect used cargo van. Very detailed and interesting. How amazing you must feel. Having awesome friends involved makes it even better! Thank you for your van build videos! 🙏🏽
hey guys, did you know that the SON OF GOD JESUS CHRIST created this universe, and trough HIM you can get forgiveness of your sins because HE got sacrificed by HIS HIS FATHER for our sins, only if you believe HIM you will get forgiven and be saved from hell, all who believe HIM not have made HIM to a liar
if you confess with your mouth JESUS IS LORD and believe GOD raised HIM from the death you will be saved
faith is trough hearing and hearing is trough the WORD OF GOD - the BIBLE
@@dirkhartman9572nah islam on top
@@Kye749 thats a lie
@@dirkhartman9572so you want to talk about your religion but call another a lie? Have some respect. I’m an atheist but I don’t disrespect others religions. Plus your comment has nothing to do with the video🤦♂️
Here are the nutters. Religious talk when vid is about a van. Get a life to enjoy instead of annoying everyone else.
Literally so much effort taken to find a video which gave me the full process without needing to watch hours of content. Well done! Awesome video
I bet you’re wishing it all went as smoothly as it appears to in this! The hiccups are part of life’s learning experiences, and you’re better for learning by what didn’t quite work out. Well done Will, you should be very proud of your achievements!
Thanks for the kind words and support 🤘🤘
A lot of people have congratulated you on the build, and deservedly so. I would like to add that the effort that went into this video is astonishing: the many chapters, the info and links in the description box, the editing, the inviting thumbnail image, the care that went into spelling and grammar, etc, etc. Few people can understand how much effort it takes to include these details. Well done!
Missed all the comedic fun and laughs you had on this journey but brought back some great memories not only for me but for you as well. You can look back with a lot of pride and achievement.
A massive WELL DONE
Thank you 😊

Amateur build? This looks like the most professional build I've seen on youtube so far
If there is Will, there is a way.
Ha ha brilliant 🤩 thank you 🙏
Beautiful job dude. Enjoy.
Thanks 😊
Wow amazing work it was🎉🥳Hats off bro👌 Lots of learning 👏 Love from India🇮🇳

Thank you Kenny, I have learnt much and made great friends along the way 🤘🤘

Cheers Will, so nice to see you on this lovely Sunday here in North Carolina!
Thank you 🙏
Great van build, great music😃
Thanks 😊
Well done Will
Thank you 🙏
Brilliant, I’ve followed the build anyway, but yes this condenses it.
Mind you, there was no mistakes, swearing, blood in the time lapse 😂
That would have been an hour long video at least 😂
looks absolutely amazing welcoming and cosy well done on this beautiful and awesome video wishing you all the very best in life xxx😊
Oh the memories Will! What a crazy 18mths that was... and you still have all your fingers, eyes, hair, arms, legs, head, ears and most importantly, your sanity!! 🤣 Mary has definitely come a long, long way from that scruffy neglected unloved tradies van, to now, a loving home on wheels! Kudos for sticking it out Mate and pushing yourself and knowing when to stop and ask for help as well. Great stuff Will! 😎
It’s certainly been a learning curve but worth it, thanks for the support 👍🤘
Well Done Will, Neil and Emma
Team work 😊😊
Great to see you back Will! Watched all of these from the start, yet its mad to see how far you've come with the van. Looking forward to some more adventures with Mary.
Thanks Tim 🤘
Good to see how far you've come, I'm the same! Good to see you again Will. Trust you had a good break and feel mentally revived.Missed you. Ps I've got another rescued greyhound.
Congratulations on the new rescue dog 🐾🐾🐾
@@WillsWhereabouts what a mess mate lost the awning last night in storm. We live and learn, aluminium frame not up to this weather. Onwards and upwards...
This was an amazing build
Glad to see you back Will, looking forward to your next video full of your wit and humour 😊
Thank you 🙏
Enjoyed the recap of your van build.
Glad to see you post again.
My Sunday is now complete.
Thanks for the kind words 🤘🤘
You have done an amazing job along with your friends. It looks stunning and you should feel very proud. Really can’t believe how long I’ve been watching you. Looking forward to seeing you enjoy it. Take care Gill
Thank you Gill, appreciate it 😊
Good work buddy. You inspired me to buy a galaxy and convert it. I've been using for camping for the past year and had many fun adventures. 👌
Happy travels and adventures 🤘🤘
Brilliant mate
Thank you 🙏
Love this Will! We will always support you.
Thank you 🙏
Great to see you back on YT Will.
Thank you 🙏
A beautiful conversion mate! You should be very proud of what you’ve accomplished and learnt throughout the journey! Keep making content I love seeing where you travel to and the adventures you take on!
Thank you 🙏
Great job Will...maybe do a build for someone else next?..you've put the time in and the result speaks for itself
Thanks for the kind comment and the support 😊😊🤘
Im a teenager now. And i know already that this is my dream.
Great idea for a video mate. Its been really enjoyable catching up or binge watching your build lol. You must be really proud of what you've done. It's been entertaining following your series
Thank you for the support and coming along in this journey with me 🤘
Brillant video, You did a great job Will, with a little help from your friends, Mary looks so good, all the blood, sweat and tears was worth it. Happy van life will, you most certainly deserve it. Look after Mary and she will look after you. All the best Will. Stay strong always. 🚐🤟🏼✌️💕💕
Thanks for the support and great comment 💜
Well done Will be super proud of yourself from your Ford galaxy exploits to a amazing van conversion been a joys to watch you over the last few years !!!!
AVITTTTT 🇬🇧
Thank you for being with me on the journey for so long 🤘👍
This is a perfect video for me! I just got my ProMaster van on Friday, and I am more than ready to start on it. All I have to do is go back to the start of your van build series and use it as a tutorial. You have a fantastic van to recover your sanity in. Enjoy!
awesome will!!!!!!!!!!!!...you superstar !!!!!!!!....what a journey and gotta say big hands for your amazing work!!!
hi will did you say something back as its suddenly gone your reply?
Hi it was a spam account so I have removed the comment, thank you for your kind words and support 🙏🙏
@@WillsWhereabouts i did wonder cheers will and carry on doing brilliant work buddy
From all the van builds I’ve watched, which is A LOT, this one has got to be one of my favorites
The bed structure was a genius idea, pinched it and did it in my van 😁👍
Good to hear someone else using it 👍😬
Amazing how editing can condense 1 1/2 years into less than 30 minutes. God speed Will. Enjoy your journey.
Very true 😂😂
Love it mate. Best wishes always ❤
Thanks mate 💜💜
For someone who doesn't know what the heck they're doing sure as hell made it look easy
This video brings back memories! We’re all looking forward to the future with you! More memories to come!
Thank you, it was good fun putting all this together 😁
I've enjoyed the van build! I've watched all of the van build episodes and enjoyed and learned from them. The time lapse showed just how far you and the van have come. It's really nice to see you learn as well and I look forward to seeing what adventures you and Mary are going to embark on next!
Thank you 😊
Fair play mate, that looks hard graph and a lot of dedication and learning.
💯, have learnt so much, thanks for watching 🤘
Great video Will, it made the build look so easy, I think your follow up video could be the best mishaps and crazy moments.
Keep on seeing similar comments to this 🤔🤔😬
I remember all steps! You really have done a great job on the van! And I hope you keep on going!
Thank you 🙏
Great skip through the whole process of the build. Blood sweat and tears but lots of laughs too Will. Love your channel 👏
Thank you so much 💜
cleanest builders van i have ever seen in all my life that one is xD
you did a very good job turning that white van into a nice mobile home and raising the value of the van in process 10 out of 10 well done 👏
That's a lot of blood sweat and tears there, well done Will!
Thanks 🙏
Dude, the best Van Conversation RUclips ever have seen ....
Heads up , epic work and thanks to share it with us....
Love from Scotland
Thanks for the kind words 🙏
I've seen a few similar conversions, but this one's right up there. ☝️
Love, also from Scotland. 🚐 🥃 🏴
Mate I started watching your channel since you bought the Galaxy and from a person who has lots of ups and downs (many times I feel like giving up on my projects/work), I can honestly tell you you’ve come a very long way. It might not feel like it sometimes, especially when life puts us to more tests, but honestly believe me great times will come. I wish u all the best and never stop doing what u love
Legend, thanks for the advice and support 🤘
Hi will , just binged watched this entire playlist over 3 days😂, loved it, the start,the mishaps,the meltdowns,the relationship with neil (ive also subscribed to urban van life😊),the finish and how it looked liked once you'd finished it, Looking forward to looking through the rest of your amazing videos. Keep up the fantastic content👏👏👏👏
I like it when people use maximum space by not adding Soo much bulky material , that carpeting of the wall panels is awesome!!
You’ve made it look so easy in this video. If there was a swear box you’d of filled it multiple times. You’ve done a fantastic job in making a builders van into a stunning living space. I’m seriously impressed 👍👍👍👍👍
I'd be extremely rich if I had a swear box 😂
You've kept me sane for a few years now. The Ford Galaxy (?) seems like only yesterday. I really enjoyed this video and thanks for all the other videos, you should be very proud of yourself for what you've achieved and for keeping me (probably others) sane. I wish you all the best for your future ventures.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting 🤘👍😊
congrats you fitted the all van building progress in to 23 minutes
Didn’t take long 😂
@@WillsWhereabouts that is a plus too then :D
Hi Will. Just found your channel and this video. I just bought an old ambulance myself in the UK to convert into a camper. Watching this has given me a lot of inspiration and realised that it’s going to be a big job but well worth it in the end. Yours is awesome and I’m going to vlog it all as you did. So excited to get started. First step.. Stripping all the seats out Sunday afternoon! Wish me luck❤️
You made it look so easy 😂 but we all know it wasn’t so. Loved following you from your car camping days. Can not wait to see what the future holds for you. Perhaps a compilation of the outtakes and the what went wrong is needed. 😂❤
A few people have suggested that 🤔🤔😂
I can't believe I've been watching this from start to finish! Been so great watching you with this project Will. Thanks so much for the entertainment :)
Thank you for being with me on this journey for so long 😎😎
I’m just amazed that you’ve still got all of your fingers!
So am I! 😂
Watched the full van series but still really enjoyed seeing the time lapse, you and your helpers did a great job 👏
This has brought back some great memories. I've been watching you since day one and love every video! Keep it up and keep making time for yourself mate. You're a brilliant RUclipsr!
Mate that bought back memories of that fecking heater, gave me anxiety all that stress with it 😂 great video
And me 😬😂
Very well done, have loved following this project, giving me ideas ,
Thank you 😊
I’ve watched from day one of the van build and it’s amazing how far you have come. Looking forward to many more adventures from you.
Thank you for becoming along on this journey with me since the beginning 💜
You have come a long way mate!
Thank you 🙏
All the work you put into this you should be well proud ☺️
Thank you 😊
Unreal video!! This just came up on my recommended so hopefully hitting the RUclips algorithm for others to see too! I’m nearly finished with my van build after over a year of work saving learning waiting etc but all the best looks amazing 😁
Look how far you’ve come!!❤
Many thanks 🙏 💜
thats awesome, what a journey!
It really was, thank you!
Will, thanks so much for this. Absolutely awesome video. Just goes to show that people dont need to be an expert at this kind of thing. I've watched the van build from the start and this recap was nostalgic for me. I love your videos will. You are a true gent, a legend, and definitely a warrior. All your ups and downs, the finished article is sublime and you should be very proud. Keep smiling will. 👍🏻😁
Thank you 🙏
Having watched every video since your Galaxy days, i can honestly say its been a wonderful journey to watch. Cant wait for your future adventures, you should be proud of yourself Will!
This has given me lots of inspiration to do my own van conversion. I also don’t know how to do wiring and plumbing, but I can cut wood
Glad that you have found some inspiration, you will learn so much doing a van build! Good luck 🍀
Wow its been 2 years? How time flies. Happy to see the whole journey, Will.
Time has gone so quickly 😂😂
Hey Will, You have come a long way when you started your Van build, you should be very Proud with all you have achieved as it looks amazing now with all you have achieved! 😊
Well done my sweety great achievement loved the video you stay safe x ❤
Thank you Susan 💜
I loved watching your mistakes the most because it reminds me to not sweat the small stuff. Mistakes will happen. I will try something and it may not work but I will learn something and do it better the next time. It has been a blast watching you create your home on wheels and I look forward to your adventures in the future.
Mistakes are the best way to learn 😬😬
This is absolutely incredible and probably thee most inspiring thing I have watched on RUclips this year ! Great Job !!
I'm happy the gaffer tape helped 👍
Gaffer tape for the win!
Fair play to you Will. I've enjoyed following the ups and downs and watching it all come together. Congratulations on a job well done sir.
Thank you 🙏
Been following you since the old van stealth camping days…… awesome vid.
Thanks for being with me for so long 🤘🤘
Will you've come a long way and done such a good job!!
Thanks 🙏
Man, great job on the build! I love how thorough you were with the insulation, alot of people kinda skip it. Also, the swivel seat and the antenna are a some of the great additions I haven't seen alot in other builds.
Thanks for not quitting.
Ur van build on here really shows how patients you try ur best to do one at a time in ur van build and awesome how much you accomplish the van build
Thank you so much 🙏
Think you actually built that van twice over ,watching some of them clips brought back memories of when you got annoyed nearly gave up and sweat and tears,following your journey has been awesome to watch now enjoy the times you have in it,absolutely love the channel, looking forward to seeing the adventures you do
Thank you for the support 💜
I’m just beginning my conversion journey on my 2007 ducato. So far i’ve got the bulkhead out and i have the ikea brackets for the telescopic beams. Thanks for your series!
It’s a pleasure watching Will! ❤
Thank you 🙏
