Much appreciated!

I so wish I had someone to teach me in person to do this! It’s such a daunting idea doing it for the first time as a newbie! You should do in person workshops! I’d totally sign up

Love these vids, I’m converting my van and going along with you. Bit scary cutting into the van. But can’t wait to give it a go. Thanks for this series. Perfect for beginners ❤

Great video as always. Not sure you mentioned it but if you're doing the bonding with a normal manual caulk gun get the bond as warm/ hot as possible. Absolute bugger to squeeze it out well otherwise. 👍

Great tip!

@JonM.35 Ай бұрын

Superb work guys, absolutely love this video! So helpful and so many tips - still scary making that first cut though! I'm thinking of fitting rear quarter glass to my T6 kombi - any tips for fitting windows to a van that already has the side windows fitted? What about carpetting, I could have sworn you fitted the carpet before the U-channel on a previous video? Keep up the great work!!

Been following the build but somehow missed this one. Glad to have found it today. What’s happening with the 2KT5??

@CombeValleyCampers 8 күн бұрын

It will make its return with a bang very soon! It has had quite the journey since you’ve last seen it!

@martinhoward2957 Ай бұрын

what grit sanding disc's do you normally use for the angle grinder to smooth off the rough edges? I've got 80 grit - is that too fine?

I like the format BUT what's the atmosphere after filming !!!! BOSSING THE WIFE ABOUT DOESN'T GO TOGETHER WITH A HAPPY LIFE !!!!!😂😂😂😂

@sjb9272 2 ай бұрын

? I don’t think he was bossing her about. She’s not done this before and he’s helping her. That involves telling her what to do ! 😂

Thought he was very patient to be honest.

Atmosphere is professional and to be honest, we’ve both had a lot of fun doing this together. Domi is a very quick learner and we’ve been married long enough to know how to ‘teach’ each other without problems. It’s been a really fun journey!
