Introduction

So.. Ever since I came back from travelling last year, I have been constantly going on about buying a van and converting it myself. So it can be used for future travels. I have spent the past 12 months researching, looking for a van, pondering over all the things I could do..

Well.. I have finally got my arse into gear and bought a van! I went and purchased my van a couple of weeks ago and have been slowly preparing it for conversion. I am going to use this blog to try and document what I have done and any problems I have etc.

I have little to no experience in doing any kind of practical work, whether it be joinery, metalwork, mechanics, plumbing, electrics or anything else.. so this should be fun! Come along for a laugh!
