  Not paying £15 for delivery but paying £250 on a 3D printer is exactly the kind of pettiness I love! 😂 I'd do exactly the same! Van looks awesome, looking forward to seeing it finished!

  Can we talk about the collection of cars and bikes in that garage? 👀

  Repeat after me: minimalism. No wrap. Understated is best.

  I'm a big fan of the colour of the van.

  The van color is perfect. Don't wrap it. All the best.

  3D printed. 5m radius shims. What a brilliant idea! Just about to start my van build and already have a printer..... thank you for the inspiration!

  We need a tour of that warehouse you were filming in?????? Can't just pass over all those cars in the background.

  Re lift kit:  ‘lift kits’ are for show only.  What you need is a suspension upgrade with a higher weight rating.  This will help with the weight you’re putting in the van and improve the ride dramatically.  With this upgrade your resting ride height from body to frame will likely rise by an inch or so providing a little extra space in the wheel wells to install taller tires.  These taller tires will actually provide the extra ground clearance from the road to the bottom of the axles. Good luck

  When you are done with your van build. You and Nigel should go on a week-long landscape photography road trip where you get up close and personal comparing each other's van build all the while doing some landscape photography on the side! 😂

  I&apos;m really enjoying following this build. Your MAN is coming along nicely. I recently met a guy who was in the process of converting an ex forestry commission TGE 4X4. His van had a Seikel lift kit installed, &nbsp;along with some very impressive underbody protection, &nbsp;in the form of engine/drive train and diff/axle skid plates.<br>It gave the van a lot of road presence. <br>Keep up the great work on the videos.

  This is already looking so ace Tom - Thanks for the shout out - I think I must of 3D printed at least 20 parts on my van. &nbsp;I am very jealous of the exterior of your van... I seem to of missed point Cool on mine... can&apos;t wait to follow along... way less stressful watching somebody else cut holes...

  Lovely van colour.<br>For all your plastics, especially those plastic windows, VuPlex is your go to.<br>Initially designed for air craft windows it will keep your windows crystal clear and protected. Will also work very well on painted surfaces, van body, wheels etc.<br>Your build is looking good 👍.
