T6 LWB White (for now) Camper Build

[stuart-t6]

Here’s a few recent pictures to round off this build thread, the van is all finished and working well.I have really enjoyed the build, as always it took longer than planned, mostly due to work commitments and a house move and all the usual life stuff.

@HotandCold - Well done on an excellent build. Looks superb. Many happy times ahead in your hard earned van.

Thanks for an excellent selection of photos and idea's HotandCold.

I've only just joined this forum. I first looked through the off-road tyres threads and then here.

Just researching details for my second camper build on a T6 or T6.1.

I’ve really enjoyed reading through your build, I’m still in the planning stages and also going for the two tone paint look. Can I ask roughly what you paid for this?

@HotandCold - Looks great! What make of side bed did you use please?

Thanks, like most projects, it took longer and cost more than planned for as the spec keeps getting longer (this forum doesn't help with all the ideas for spending.....).
the paint cost me £1300 but that was mates rates.

The seat/bed was made by Marlin Conversions in Cornwall, to my sizes and the build quality is excellent and it works really well in conjunction with the swivelled front seats.

Loving your work and the design; looks epic! I would have taken this route if i didn't need crash tested seating for the nippers. SCA roofs seem really popular, will have to take a look at one at some point, i ended up with a Westdubs roof which i'm really happy with.

Hi Paul,

Unfortunately, I no longer have the Landy camper van (V5 changed to "MOTOR CARAVAN"). I see that you live near to me. I would PM you, but can't discover how to. Could then e-mail more photos, which I guess would be OT here.

Just post more pics of it here please - everyone loves a Land-Rover.

Hi Bluey, Just go your email and I think you may have sent it to me by mistake as i live in the Llyen peninsula, north wales and not near you.
Sorry old chap but it was nice to see the work you did on the camper.

For the information of others, I have now sent a selection of photos taken of the Land Rover Defender, as seen above. They have started with a photo of the brand new vehicle when I took delivery and will continue in future personal e-mails.

Personally, I consider these Landy photos to be OT here, but I will send these e-mails to anyone who contacts me. Use the address:- [reg no]@gmail.com

Hi @HotandCold. Would you be able to share how you made these centercaps? I assume you used the standard black plastic ones as a base and fitted a chrome cap from another VW?
