    Thanks for the video. I have converted our Renault Trafic LWB van into a Touring Van and know how much work it is. Great job so far guys. One thing. Please protect your eyes when removing the rust with those rotating steel brushes. Bits can fly off. I look forward to watching all your videos. You have a new subscriber.

      Haha, I kind of want to say sorry, as it isn't as easy as it always looks on RUclips. But it's all possible and that's what matters! I hope your conversion goes well 🤗

    Picked up my vivaro for converting yesterday. Looking forward to getting started and this is a great resource, thank you!

      May I ask what year and mileage, and how much did you pay?

      How did you get on with it? I'm waiting to get one myself for a build

    What a great team you both make! Love how natural you are on camera! Ohh and we saw the sex items on your insta stories so we were waiting for this moment in the video to have a chuckle 🤣🤣

    Hey, great videos, I am converting a Renault Trafic SWB now so this is super helpful (essentially its exactly the same van as yours).
    Quick question: how much sound deadening did you buy for the van? And did you put any on the wheel arches?
    Cheers!

    On a 2011 Vivaro LWB I can't cut out that square due to a supporting strut being in the way, now I'm screwed, have that same vent as you without the fan. I am now considering a mushroom vent at the rear.

    Great build guys! Question, what was the ID of the push-on window edging you used? I've got the same van as you and my window is on order. Cheers, Giles.

    Great video, I am busy converting the same vehicle however I'm curious if there is any tips you have when installing the windows. It looks simple enough however maybe there is some issues that you encountered that we're not in the video. Any tips or advise will be greatly appreciated.

    Partner and I are so glad we came across your videos as we really would like to have a go at converting a van… can anybody suggest how much roughly we should be paying for a vivaro?
    Thanks

      Yayy, that is so awesome to hear. I hope you find it helpful and I apologise in advance for any bad music choices. They were my first vlogs and I have learnt my lesson since 😂. I have bought 2 vivaros 2 years ago and both were around £4k at 100k miles :).

    Hi what fan did you use ? It’s not on the link anymore.
    Great build

    • @nicroams
      @nicroams  8 месяцев назад

      Thank you so much! I used the Fiamma Vent 28 Rooflight Crystal, then purchased a turbo kit for it to have a fan for this build. It seems that the seller has stopped distributing on eBay since I posted the video. Good luck with the build ✌🏼.

  • @inesramos7706
    @inesramos7706 3 года назад +2

    Hi, just saw your video and was wondering how the fan worked out for you? Is it necessary to have an electrical one, or just a simple opening in the ceiling would do fine?

    • @nicroams
      @nicroams  8 месяцев назад

      Hello! I know this is a VERY late response, but the fan is brilliant, I have one in my current conversion (Dork) and I would highly recommend putting in the turbo kit, although there are no option to change speed settings, which is slightly annoying, as it is then 100% all the time.

  • @bobscullion3533
    @bobscullion3533 4 года назад

    just curious, why dont you use a jigsaw when cutting the metal panels? would it not leave a neater edge? liking the videos guys, well put together and each step explained clearly, big thumbs up

  • @lucyaslett3769
    @lucyaslett3769 4 года назад

    I'm really enjoying following your progress! Quick question, I see you got your side window from Van demon, did you just use their kit and instructions or did you use primer on the metal before applying the bonding agent? Keep the videos coming 😊

  • @NomaddUK

    Will the books and rubber tubing come with the van when you sell it? I am asking for a friend :o)

  • @sanderslongdrive
    @sanderslongdrive 4 года назад +1

    But I tuned in to see the insertion of the side window! (Violent sobbing followed by crackerdog - writhing on floor, with little legs convulsing). Drawn in by a false promise in the header - please send vegan cakes by way of compensation.

    Do you need to change the insurance when putting in windows?

    • @nicroams
      @nicroams  3 года назад +2

      You will always need to update your insurance if you make any modifications to a vehicle, whether the price changes I'm not too sure. I have always started off with motorhome or DIY camper insurance on my vans and I would always list my windows as part of the key features in my van 🤗. Hope this helps

    what was the purpose for the layer of primer?

    • @nicktubara
      @nicktubara 2 года назад

      Primer is normally used to apply on surfaces prior to painting to prevent rust from occurring on metal surfaces.
