Just caught this thread, great read from start to finish. Lovely looking van Chris!
Same here, love a good start to finish project, well done 
Sorry only just seen this.
Yes was straight forward enough. Watched a video on YouTube which was really helpful.
I fitted the GPS that came with it but have since found the GPS connector in the driver door when fitting my new speakers.
Many thanks, very kind of you to say!
Finish Pedro? When do they ever finishSame here, love a good start to finish project, well done
Likewise. Van looks great. I do like the horseshoe configuration.
Is the battery not a leisure batteryThought I'd document my attempted self build of an ex AA van

First up was to remove all the ply lining and the bulkhead

Obscene amount of screws/clips/bolts

Once all that was removed, it was time to tackle the wiring. Passenger bench removed to access all the wiring and removed the battery. The first big achievement was starting the engine after all this and getting no warning lights

My current job is removing the bulkhead support frame which needs cutting out. After that it will be windows and pop top followed my insulation and sound proofing. I cant do much really until the pop top is in which is a pain as I have to save up for that
No point carpet lining until the pop top is in.
All pop tops seem to be £3500-£5000 installed but I've seen a company offering it for £2500 called Yorkshire Rose Camper Conversions. Reviews seem good but there's no specific reviews on their pop tops so feel free to shout up if ou have seen them yourself
Thats all for now, thanks for reading.

No, I’ve fitted a Clayton LPS ‘power house’
I’ve just brought an ex aa is the battery under the seat ex aa?
Ahh sorry, yes the battery under the seat is additional by AA to power all their bits and pieces (that you will be ripping out)
Is it a leisure battery mate
I think it is but I didnt take much notice. I wouldn't recommend repurposing it if thats what you're thinking. It wont be good enough for a camper build
This looks awesome - is it a completely new wheel or did they adapt your existing wheel?
The 'before' pic is a round wheel and 'after' pic is flat-bottomed, so strongly suspect a completely new wheel.
As Bav has indicated, its a new wheel I believe. I didn't send him my old wheel
