That’s the thing if you really want a transit van at least get the long wheel base high top version not the smallest most basic one it’s not even big enough to carry most companies equipment let alone carry this pair a fridge bed and toilet

Didn’t they notice these before they bought it, and if so, why would you buy it??!
Rust is not a quick fix I hope they really had a good look under the van otherwise that will be failing the first MOT transits are known for the floors rusting out if she’s no idea how to fix that why even bother she’s done no research
This should be comedy gold , shouldn't she be making for the bizznizz instead of filming his dodgy DIY lol
I'm no expert but I've watched enough conversions on TT to know that they need to sand all that out and paint over with red oxide. Of course, they also need to find leaks and fix them. It will be weeks if not months before that carcass is ready to fit out, they need to fully insulate it, put in electrics, and then the walls and flooring. First, they need an actual floor plan, a list of materials, and a budget. This baby won't be ready for any holidays this year.
I reckon a bit of whipped soap could patch that up
The loaded sponges would be perfect insulation /sound proofing material
Depends how bad the rust is as some needs fully cutting out and new metal plates welded over they also need to declare all this to insurance as can’t just claim it’s a van if they are converting it
Omg I bet the thing is rotten
they won't have a clue what they're doing. I doubt they have any idea how expensive and time consuming it will be eitherETA why is he putting boards up when the van is full of rust?? The water and moisture will get trapped and just warp. Jesus
If they can’t deal with some rust I can just imagine them fitting bleeping gas or electric actually even cutting a window in themselves will be hilarious it’s a very expensive peoject to have let alone the up keep and yearly cost TAX MOT FUEL INSURANCE
Typical chins jumping on the latest craze, they don’t have the money or the intelligence to pull this off , they prob think they can just spend £150 
that wank transit is gonna be a money pit !
that wank transit is gonna be a money pit !It certainly will. How on earth will they manage to afford the fuel to do all this travelling, we are almost in a recession. Everyone else is watching what they’re spending at the moment to pay for all the rise in costs, those two idiots are spending money like water and going off on their travels. They are literally digging a hole for themselves financially.Typical chins jumping on the latest craze, they don’t have the money or the intelligence to pull this off , they prob think they can just spend £150
It's all a romantic dream, it will be expensive and bloody hard work. As mentioned, registering it as a campervan (complying with regulations) insurance, MOT and massively high fuel rates.

This is what I don’t understand they can’t afford heating, they moan non stop about things and it’s been obvious in the past just how close to the breadline they are and how Charlie couldn’t even afford to be on furlough and take the pay cut.It certainly will.

Everyone is currently budgeting and watching money planning for a very rough time that’s coming and making sure they can afford all the cost increases yet they are acting like they haven’t a worry in the world. Won’t be so funny for them when they can’t afford bills so end up living in the van that’s not even finished.
Imagine driving it and behind you chins has had a fat dump 
You have a good point, I actually wondered if they were going to do tiny house living in a van after his Mum died and left them money. I thought naively she would make a decent wage, get a unit, move out of the flat and they'd live in a camper for a few years to save up for a deposit/mortgage. I live in a fantasy world sometimes too lolIt certainly will. How on earth will they manage to afford the fuel to do all this travelling, we are almost in a recession.

They’ll have said ‘we have xx to buy a van, oh! Here’s one!’ And that will have been the extent of it. They found one they could afford, job done. She earns a pittance, he seems to deliver electrical items, they have a high rent/council tax…and they buy a rust bucket to convert 
all this during a cost of living crisis where bills are going to be sky high in October and then in January…they are both as dense as each other.
