Van Build TIMELAPSE | DIY Campervan Conversion | Mercedes Sprinter

We bought our van in July 2022 and have worked on it solidly for 9 months, this shows you 9 months of achievement in 9 minutes using Timelapse, if only van builds were that quick. :)

If you enjoyed this video make sure to subscribe and continue with us on our journey where we are tackling some of the really juicy stuff now. Also if we are honest, we need your help in the comments, it has been priceless for us!

Fancy helping us out with a coffee? :)

About Us
Welcome to Life Adventure Projects, we’re Andy and Sophie and last year we made the decision to work on changing our lives for the better. We’d grown tired and weary of the rat race, only living for the weekend or looking forward to a holiday once a year, so we made a plan to start working on projects to improve our lives.

Or check out these videos for more of our adventures:

Having watched you guys from the start & seeing each stage of the project it's not until you see the time-lapse, you realise how much work you've put into the build 🛠
give yourselves a pat on the back for what you've achieved so far 👏

Hi you two, I have a suggestion for your van build that I have seen on a few vans over the years. Perhaps think about fitting a small combination key safe somewhere accessible, but not obvious, to the van. That way if you decide to, let's say, go paddle boarding for example you don't have to take the van keys out on the water with you. Simply lock them in the key safe and enjoy the water without the fear of the key disappearing to the sea floor and being stranded. I've seen some vans where the owners have had a small panel cut and hinged to make a door then mounted the key safe behind it to hide the safe from inquisitive people but I guess under the van or behind a bumper could be an easier solution.

Great to see a, quick summary like this, reminds me of how far you have come. Which is a very long way. As Churchill said, this is not the end, it is not the beginning of the end but it is the end of the beginning

Wow watching this time laps sort of hides the truth. It isn't as easy as you think. You have done amazing work on your conversion. Watching you videos and seeing the highs and lows. I didn't get that with this video. It made you look like camper conversion pros which of course you will be once you completed this conversion. Looking forward to more videos.

Great to see it change so much in the short vid. This is also why time-lapse make it look way way easier than it actually is!

Stick at it guys you're doing great 👍
I got my fingers 🤞 for you having a night out in it fairly soon 😊

Handy if you can find a nice van to start with. I do hope that isn't the 2.1 engine in that. The 2.7 straight six was the best Sprinter engine. Could pull a full load easily and fuel consumption was good for such a powerful van.

Great editing skills 👍
You both should be so proud of yourselves how far you both come to nearly completing your beautiful home van build 🚐
Thank you for taking us with you on your journey ❤

[leecurry]

Great video guy's! Followed you from the start of the Ray build, been brilliant so far, may it continue yet for a while, 2 genuine people that don't always get it right the first time but always get there with determination 👌👌 can't wait to meet you both somewhere on our travels one day
