I see some items in the build that know. The the table mount and leg from Chippys Workshop.  Good build. Did one myself on a T4.

Look who it isn't! Enjoyed looking though all the photos!

  

It isn’t me! :P thanks Josh! The van is looking better than it did at IMM last year! Hope you’re good

Those table legs are real good! Be awesome to see some pics of the T4! I was tempted by a t4 for so long but they were out of my budget. Thanks for coming :)

If you guys have a YouTube or google account please check out my video and hit subscribe! I have some organic subscribers just from making content and posting it but there’s millions of hours posted every hour so making the YouTube algorithm work for you is the trick. Apparently once you get to 100 subs it starts to get easier because YouTube consider you a frequent poster with relevant content :) at this point every subscriber helps so much! Once I’m fully trained in Mindfulness Based Stressed Reduction I’ll be posting the full course for free, and I’ll be doing live streams and one on one lessons all for free, it’s costing me a lot of money to train in this as a teacher but it’s so worth it to help people. I don’t think you can charge money to guide people into becoming more calm and centred in themselves, it’s all within! So any help appreciated at this point guys. I know I have my audience out there and I’m working really hard at that. I just need to guide them to my channel :)

I do believe I have seen this van in the past cruising towards the Isle of Sheppey............Can’t be many grey Sherpas still on the road

Thank you! I am a man on a mission and failure is not an option!  :mmkay:  :lol:

:highfive:  Nice to see you here. You have a fan now, so you have to finish your trailer!

Almost certainly! My wheels were rust coloured back then though! but I havent actually seen another one on the road in the couple of years I've owned it, and I've driven a lot of miles in her!

I don’t know if I’m going to drive the van through winter or take it off the road! I live in Durham now and it seems like they grit the roads for 8 months of the year!

Talking about awakening, let the light shine in <3

I did it the other way round Craig.

refused to have a smartphone until last year. Just made do with a simple Nokia which I rarely left the house with.

it was so nice to be uncontactable but for changing personal reasons, I had to have one.

To be honest, at first I carried the phone at work so I could be contactable but then I started using it to phone customers and suppliers to save waiting for an office phone to be free and then started using it for web browsing in my breaks and now I use it to update build threads on here and take it everywhere.

 

How are you finding the transition?
