Glutton for punishment (a new project)

[John_B]

You'd have thought 18 months of working on two crusty Z3s would be enough for a newbie to the project car life. Seemingly not the case.

Mrs B and I have just bought this to convert into a camper. God help us.
(2000 Nissan Elgrand 3.3 V6 petrol auto)

The fleet is coming on well though (all 6-cyl RWD) I'm not so sure my neighbours will agree though...

Oh, and for all the times I have been paranoid about what a future owner might find that I have done - like holding up the exhaust of my first car (1.2 Clio) with half a pack of tie-wraps when I couldn't get the rubber hanger to fit, or some of my first ever soldering on the dashcam hardwired into my Mondeo - I now know that was NOTHING compared to how a previous owner has butchered the stereo loom in this one.

Not a single soldered joint. Just twist & tape

Nice project; you might need a new number plate though!!

Best you nip over to All The Gear on youtube and see how not to convert a small van to a camper. All you have to do is not do it their way.

I'm a big fan of their channel and TDC, but oh my haven't the AA lot had a rough few weeks!

DIY for Knuckleheads did a conversion on a small Nissan van for his son over in Aus. Might be worth a look on YouTube.
