Hi Rich, Josh and I just watching this with a cup of coffee before we get cracking today! Both said that you're doing such a thorough job and taking the time at this stage will 100% pay off down the line. Great tip on the mercedes parts too, thanks for sharing! Looking forward to the next installment, Josh & Charlie xx

It's great to see the conversion esp the beginning in such good detail. Thanks a million. I've just bought a vario myself and am looking forward to doing the conversion. I was not going to lift the floor but can see the benefit so I might have to change my mind. 😍

Thanks Sharon. This is good to know; we wanted to document it warts and all :-). That’s exciting news regarding your Vario. Is it a van or minibus?

@@WanderbusAdventures it's a bus. Living in Ireland windows might not be the best idea but I really want the light. It's a 614 2001. I love it. Have watched hundreds of Conversion videos so have a fair idea about the design. The only thing I'm not sure about is electrics. I dont want a fridge. Just a light or two and charging capability. Wood stove. Gas water heater.

That's exciting, hope the pick up goes well. Thanks so much for your kind words. So at the time we bought an air chisel from SGS and a separate needle attachment. This is the attachment: amzn.to/3ZeRhiD But if were to buy now would possibly go for something like this: amzn.to/4gwJUcT if we wanted the chisel (can be handy) or this if not: amzn.to/3AXNX1l

G'day Rich laborious job that but well worth it and you have done a great job. The windows probably could use new seals as they are probably getting brittle I don't know about the old country which I love and have been over twice, but you can buy it in long rolls. Anyway I'm gradually catching up to where you are now. Good one regards John
@WanderbusAdventures
@WanderbusAdventures 4 жыл бұрын
Thanks John. That’s a good tip. I think I’m going to strip the old seals off as you suggest and seal them with some windscreen sealant on at least one side too. We want to get them watertight before getting any new wood in the bus. Thanks again 🚌🚐🚎

Good to know Mercedes parts so reasonable. You really are doing a thorough job ..where did you get your mask ? Nothing's getting through that one !
@WanderbusAdventures
@WanderbusAdventures 4 жыл бұрын
It was a nice surprise, especially as they delivered them. We used our local dealer (Rygor) and can’t recommend them enough. The mask is made by 3M and it is really good. It even works well with glasses which is a plus. I bought it from Amazon but you can get them from the usual places like screwfix etc. Thanks so much for watching. Stay safe x

Great videos guys, glad I found your series, gives me real hope that I can sort the Vario I have just purchased, can I ask please how much of the Rust container and chassis paint did you use, just so I dont over order. Many thanks Phil
@WanderbusAdventures
@WanderbusAdventures 3 жыл бұрын
Thanks Phil, on the chassis I think we used 3 litres of the RE and 2 of the CIO. It does seem to go a long way. We did end up ordering more for other areas around the bus. It absolutely stinks but seems to be good stuff.

Hi, regards from Chile. Please, could you tell me more about the Seats? Thus are from bus, or some van like Vito? ✌🏽
@WanderbusAdventures
@WanderbusAdventures Жыл бұрын
Hey, thanks for watching. They are from a Ford Tourneo Custom. They are the outer second row seats, which allows you to turn them around and switch them. They are heavy but have worked really well and are comfortable on journeys and when using them to lounge in. Thanks again.

Hi Rich This is Martin from the Netherlands. i have been watching all of your video's. we have a bus similar to yours, the difference is that ours is based on the older 811 d type, and was build as a small touringcar. I think you say minibus. You have done a very good job on your bus. I was wandering about your rear wheel arch. Looks like you have lowered them. I was thinking of lowering ours. But i dont know how space the rear wheel needs. How far can i go? So how much space does your rear wheel have? We would like to create more space inside for our shower above the rear wheel. Keep up the good work. Martin

Hi Martin. Sorry for the late reply. We lowered ours to sit above the bump stops. I did find the official guidance from Mercedes though for when people were converting these things from new. It states ‘The arches are lowered 60mm (standard 210mm to 150mm). Measured between the floor in the interior and top of the wheel arch’. Ours are slightly lower that this and haven’t caused an issue. We then insulated our floor and used 25mm insulation on the arch to bring the two levels closer - if that makes sense. Our shower is above one of these arches.

Hey, just our of interest, what rust encapsulator did you use? Think we're going to need this for our vario!
@WanderbusAdventures
@WanderbusAdventures 3 жыл бұрын
Hey. We used Jenolite rust converter after cleaning all the metal - we used deox on this. Then used Buzz Weld rust encapsulator; this stuff supposedly converts rust over time too. Then finally finished with chassis in one. Oh with some wax to follow in the future too. Varios sure love to rust haha. How is yours looking?

How did you find d the bilt hamber stuff? We've been looking g into thay fir a little while. Ours arrives tomorrow so preparing for the rusty adventure! Really enjoy watching your videos, always find them fun and informative!
@WanderbusAdventures
@WanderbusAdventures 3 жыл бұрын
Thank you. The deox stuff is good for treating the rust but it did take some cleaning up after. Bilt hamber stuff is genuinely excellent on the whole. We use a lot of their cleaning products too. The jenolite stuff is good as you paint it on; then paint over. We used that a lot more around the arches to be fair. The chassis as you saw was hambered.
