Awesome build.. I keep watching it over and over..I'm in love.. By chance do you have blueprints for the dimensions of the bed? And or how you made it? Last one, What are the dimensions of the cupboards.. like the entire wall unit? Thank you

@anonymoussavior2751 5 жыл бұрын

This is actually amazing. I think I like it more than the MR2. You should start a custom car shop where you do stuff like this for people. Me being from the US, where these vans weren't sold, I legitimately thought the rear interior was from the factory because of the insane quality and fitment of everything. Amazing quality bro, you have a true passion for cars.

@SpyderLEE 5 жыл бұрын

Yeah cheers, it turned out really well. Some look like they just have cupboards thrown in the back, I got mine to look “fitted”. More work but definitely worth it. 👍
